#type2diabetes #fishforbreakfast — this is honestly very similar to my previous fish for breakfast option, which was whitefish spread on multigrain toast, with the same toppings (pickled onions, capers, cherry tomatoes), but so many people suggested a bagel and lox, I figured I should explicitly include it in the list. I eat this all the time. 🙂
I’m watching the new season of Queer Eye right now, and one common theme is how many people don’t take time to take care of themselves, because they’re so focused on caring for other people, or so focused on work.
I try to make a decent breakfast for myself most days, and I really do think it helps set me up for a good day — this meal looks fancy, but takes literally 5 minutes. And it makes me happy, having such a pretty meal, and the flavors are so satisfying and well-balanced, the salty and tangy and sweet, every bite is a pleasure. It’s good to start your day with pleasure.
Nutrition count for half bagel with lox — will vary, but roughly:
Calories: 350
Carbs: 25
know most takeout places will automatically give you a full bagel, but I feel like a half is plenty of bread for me in a meal.
