[QUOTE="Trina_P, post: 756228, member: 122316"] Thanks for this guys, really useful. Don't think I could ever reduce it the 20g like the Atkins but I'm just beginning, you never know. The porridge I make in a pan with 30g of oats and put in enough water so that they're swimming a little then put them on a medium heat. Whilst that's heating up I break two eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, then beat together thoroughly with a fork. Take your pan off the heat and let it cool slightly, this is when I weigh out my 30g of blueberries (although I just read not to eat them too often!). I also add about 2tsp of sweetener and 2tsp of cinnamon and give it a good mix. The porridge should be cooler by now and this is when I pour the egg in. Give it a really good stir and make sure it's thoroughly mixed in before putting it on a medium to low heat. I find by putting the eggs in when it's cooler the egg doesn't cook too quickly, otherwise you can end up with little bits of egg white floating around in your porridge :( I give it about 5 minutes just to make sure the egg is cooked. Then I taste just to see if it needs anymore sweetener or cinnamon before serving. Also something to note, if you need to add more liquid because it's getting to gloopy, I've been adding lactose-free milk, but any kind of milk will make it a little bit creamier, but water will be fine if you're worried about the carbs in it. Let me know if you try it and what you think. I don't get hungry at all till lunchtime. [/QUOTE]
