One of the main benefits of honey is that it retains all its properties even when heated during its manufacturing process. With Sugar, the conversion process from sugar cane to refined sugar causes it to loose all its nutrients thus resulting in what is commonly known as empty calories for sugar.
Honey also offers incredible antioxidant, antiseptic, antimicrobial and cleansing properties for our bodies and health. Even though both honey and sugar are sweeteners and both contain glucose and fructose, honey is the ideal liver fuel because it contains a nearly 1:1 ratio of fructose to glucose.Glycogen is the form which sugar is stored in the muscle and liver cells of our body. The enzyme from the liver cell's nucleus that is necessary for the incorporation of glucose into glycogen is unlocked by fructose.
Honey also may promote better blood sugar control. Proper fueling of the liver is central to optimal glucose metabolism during sleep and exercise. When we eat sugar our bodies have to use a special enzyme in our pancreas called insulin to convert the sugars to glucose which then can be absorbed by the cells in our bodies to provide us with energy. With honey, the bees add a special enzyme to the nectar which then separates into fructose and glucose. This is done prior during the creation of the honey.
These are two simple sugars that our body cells can absorb directly. The Glycemic Index of honey is much better than processed sugar when you compare the two. The Glycemic Index measures the impact negatively of any given food on the blood glucose level. With a lower Glycemic Index rating, there is a slower absorption and infusion of the sugar into the blood stream which then results in a more measured and healthier digestion process.
Because honey is sweeter than sugar, the total calories intake is lower as less honey is needed to sweeten the same quantity of food item (cereals, cakes, pies, tea, coffee, etc). Therefore, if you are watching your weight or trying to loose weight, honey will be a smarter choice than refine sugar.
Also, the wonderful taste of honey is so unique that is why it is used in several recipes such as honey bread, honey chicken recipes, chicken honey mustard, honey glazed chicken, and honey baked chicken to name a few. The sticky mess that is an issue with regular or organic honey is mitigated by using honey crystals the powdered or dry form of honey. With organic honey crystal you can add a taste of honey to your favorite cookies, breakfast cereal, cakes, pies, rolls, coatings, dressings, and even to sweeten your coffee or tea! by just replacing sugar 1:1 that provides a nice honey flavor without an after taste.

i ran for 30 minutes this morning then did toning exersices like squats and crunches for a half hour.
breakfast: 1 piece whole wheat vegan toast with 1 tablspoon organic peanut butter and 1/2 banana with 1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt with a natural sweetener (Truvia) and some fresh berries and fiber one cereal mixed in
snack: apple

snack: 1/2 cup almond milk with 3/4 cups chocolate silk milk
i like to eat a light dinner so i dont feel bloated so i try and fit my calories in at lunch and breakfast. and i eat about 5-6 times a day to keep my metabolism boosted. im at about 1110 calories today so far.
is this healthy so far?
That looks awesome, I honestly cannot find one thing that you could improve on. You have a good mix of healthy carbs, protein and fats, and you eat a perfect amount. Keep up the good work!
