Cereal

I am trying to compile a list of cereals that are simply filling (power foods).  I will add more as I find them.  Feel free to comment with more suggestions.  Remember here are the requirements...

• Whole-grain, ready-to-eat cereals without added sugar, dried fruits or nuts, and with 4g of fiber or more per serving

Banana Cereal

My mom always called this "banana cereal"  but it is really just bananas and milk for breakfast.  It is simply filling.  Or if counting points you only need to count the milk.

If desired you can sprinkle a little cereal on top to add some crunch, but it is still mainly bananas, not cereal.  It remains simply filling as long as you choose cereals that are

• Whole-grain, ready-to-eat cereals without added sugar, dried fruits or nuts, and with 4g of fiber or more per serving

If you are counting points you would need to count points for the milk and the cereal.

Hydrate

Here is a way to make sure you get enough water in for the day.  Weight Watchers reccommends 6 glasses of water (or other approved liquids) per day.  So 6 glasses times 8 oz is 48 oz per day.  1 gallon is 128 oz. so more than enough water!  I just marked for the whole gallon (not for the 48 oz), but you could mark only up to 48 oz if you wanted to.    My waking hours are approximately 7 AM-8 PM...so I knew I wanted 14 marks.  I divided the height I was going to mark and used a sharpie to mark on the milk jug.  As a side note...this was not my idea...I saw it on Facebook!!!
