Thread: big breakfasts or small??

Looks like a lot of starch and sugar with a drop of protein. Whats the rest of your day look like? What you eat at night might have you craving when you wake up.

And I top it off with a muffin
That's a whole lotta food for breakfast.

at night after my workout I usually eat this:

Ham and turkey sandwich on wheat bread
protein shake
and an apple or salad

So i don't eat too much after my workout thats usually about it and I always wake up ready to eat and eat a big breakfast. Should I be eating more at night after my workout then???

I often feel sluggish after I eat also any ideas as to what causes this feeling???

Breakfast should contain mostly protein IMO, of which you've got very little in what you are eating depending on how many eggs.
Have you run the macros?

protein + lowGI carbs such as oatmeal

Just let me know what you think of this diet. Is this okay for someone who is on a bulk to eat? thanks for your help guys.

Daaaang...I think you need to throw a bag of Dixie Crystals in there...maybe some Maple Syrup, lol. I'd say that's a tad high on the carbs.

Bulking or not, breakfast for me usually consists of protein/fat, (eggs, chicken breast) and varying levels (usually minimal amounts of) of slow burning carbs..if carbs at all. I usually opt for steel cut oats, or some rough cut, minimally processed variety...Definately NOT INSTANT.
Like Robert said in another post...Eat like a king in the morning, a Prince at mid-day, and a peasant at sunset. Sort of a dietary Riddle of the Sphinx.
I also try to center my carb intake/levels around workouts....Built had a write-up about this somewhere.

got whole milk?????????????????/

A combination of increased blood flow to your digestive area and away from other parts, and a blood sugar spike/slump. Shit like someone else said, after eating like this I would too. How about you try something like meat, veggie and brown rice. And how many times a day are you eating? is this it? A big breakfast and a sandwich for dinner? How many calories are you taking in a day?
