Nutrisystem breakfast 0-2

I received my second shipment of Nutrisystem late last week and this morning I thought I would partake in new breakfast items. 

I had ordered some hot breakfast items this time, as the cold baked goods (e.g., scones) had left little to be desired. 

So I tried the egg frittata.  It's basically powdered eggs mixed with freeze-dried veggies (like in cup o noodles) and powdered cheese.  You add 1/3 cup of water and zap it in the microwave for about 50 seconds.  Let it wait for about 2 minutes and voila, you have a "frittata".  The verdict, gross.  The freeze dried veggies tasted like tough and chewy and the frittata itself was heavy on the Kraft parmesan cheese flavor and mushy/foamy on the texture.  All in all, inedible, despite pouring tabasco sauce on it.

So, I went searching in my box for something else.  This time, I decided to try their whole grain o's cereal.  Looked like Cheerios from the packaging photo. Tasted like packing peanuts - no kidding.  Original Cheerios doesn't have many more calories, why bother with this.  Again inedible.

I haven't had much success with Nutrisystem breakfast as a whole.  Alas, a very unsatisfying way to start my Monday morning.

BRUNCH: Homestyle chicken noodles with gravy AND Weigh-In

Today I skipped breakfast AGAIN chose a dinner entree for "brunch."  This time Homestyle Chicken Noodles with Gravy.  This tastes exactly the same as the Chicken A La King and the Chicken and Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables.  I mean EXACTLY.  Edible in a Campbell's Chunky Soup sort of way. (by the way, Chipotle Tabasco ROCKs; it adds a little more kick to the otherwise bland, processed Nutrisystem food).

So it's been over a week now that I have been on Nutrisystem.  It's been a tumultuous 10 days as I have been sick for 3 days and had a binge day this past Saturday with homemade ice cream, stout cupcakes, etc... 

But the results are in...  I am down about 4 pounds and I don't think about eating all the time.  So pretty good.  I think a lot of it is initial water weight, so we'll see how we do next week.
