Is Special-K With Silk Almond Milk Or No Fat Yogurt For Breakfast Advisable?
Question: I usually eat Special K 24 carbs with Silk almond milk. Otherwise I have no fat yogurt for breakfast 90 calories. Is this ok? There are days when I have liquid egg whites 25 calories on 1 toast Multi grain with 15 whole grain. It has 45 calories. Is this alright. I know that whole grain is better than multi grain but it is harder to find.
Thank you. I also see my doctor every 6 weeks. I eat blueberries and Strawberries in my cereal and salads.

Brief Answer:
Yes, it is okay.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I see that you choose to eat healthy foods and you count the all the calories. This is a good habit because this way, you can have good diabetes control and you can loose weight too.
A diabetes diet simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes.
This diet is naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Therefore, all your selected foods are okay!
I recommend to see a dietitian that will help you to develop a healthy eating plan. A specialist can help you put together a diet based on your health goals, tastes and lifestyle. He or she can also talk about how you can improve your eating habits. For example: by choosing portion sizes that suit the needs for your size and level of activity.
Hope this is helpful. Take care.
