Could probably skip the margarine on the toast if you're adding peanut
butter anyway. Shouldn't need it. Especially if it's natural peanut
butter, margarine will only risk a trans-fat sneaking into your healthy
breakfast.

Swap the hamburger with ground turkey. The difference should hide quite
nicely in both the spaghetti lunch and taco dinner.

I'd also swap the 1% milk for soymilk but apparently that's a taste not
everyone is fond of.

Multi-vitamin?

Certainly I don't mind!! but here's my take.

It isn't natural peanut butter (although I'm looking into that option

since
we're running on the ends of the processed stuff). It's also
non-hydrogenated margarine (doesn't everything seem to be now a days?).

I
could skip the step that's true, but I find toast dry without margarine
regardless of what I put on it afterwards. Quirky I suppose. Perhaps

when
I'm looking into the nitty gritties of my meals I'll attempt that step.

Who
knows, I may like it. For now my focus is on eating better, regularly.

I have a feeling you're going to be turned off by the "dry" taste of
natural peanut butter. Just a hunch from your post above. Many have a
tough time giving up the sugary taste and creamy texture of Skippy, Jif,
etc. If you can't switch to natural peanut butter, try to keep to
crunchy varieties. Peanuts are good, it's the stuff around them that's
bad. The more peanuts in the jar, the less room for the bad stuff.

Another problem. I hate chunks . I don't even like the big clumps of
strawberries in my jam. I don't know why. I just hate eating lumpy stuff
with toast. With the margarine the p.b may not taste so bad... hopefully?!
I do make one exception to the margarine rule. I don't eat cream cheese and
margarine together.... anymore . I find that having just the cream cheese
is fine. Maybe I'll find that to be the case with p.b. Who knows. You
know what. Next time I have it I think I will try to do a pb solo. I'll
let you know what I think.
