    Before I started this I never ate breakfast, so by the time lunch rolled around I'd go buck wild. The smoothie is 1 cup spinach, 1 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 tbs chia seeds, 1 tbs oats, 1 date, 1/4 cup almonds, 1 1/2 almond milk unsweetened. It's really good and very filling. I can't be bothered to make anything elaborate in the morning before work. So yes, I'm definitely satisfied by a 500 cal smoothie it just seemed like 500 calories were more than most of what I see people eating for breakfast.

    Sounds like you are on to a plan for you; If it works for you go for it!

    I tend to max around 400 calories or less. If I'm going out for a run in the morning I'll eat much less or nothing before I run except for a good, low cal, coffee and possibly a banana. I've still got plenty of fat to burn.
