Because I ate too much normal food as a child is why

I have found the perfect A.D.D. breakfast: a 3.75 oz can of sardines in water (drained) on whole wheat crackers.

1. Protein + Omega 3 fatty acids makes the A.D.D. brain happy
2. Packed in water, so lower calorie makes Weight Watchers happy
3. Fish, so makes the cats INSANE.

Seriously, you can't buy entertainment like this.

But... but... for breakfast???

But #3 is fun.

Too much cereal as a kid, and cooking breakfast is just too much like work.

:-D

Only #3 would be good for me. If I had a cat.

Don't like fish in general, but the smell of sardines makes me ill, much less the taste. More power to you through.

I approached sardines hesitantly and, while they are not my favorite fish, they're definitely edible.

Tomorrow, I'm trying mackerel. It's the other low on the food chain (ergo low mercury) high omega 3 instrument of kitty torchur. ;-)

You might try salmon, which is also low on the food chain and high in omega 3. Also good for kitty torture.

I get the packs of skinless and boneless salmon, dump it in a bowl, mix with a little mayo and a touch of black pepper. I like the packs better than the canned, because it's already drained and flaked, you just have to break it up from being compressed in the package. I eat it on crackers. Especially good meal when you're too tired or sick to fix a meal, because even a small amount tends to keep you full for a while.
