Thread: Best breakfast before the gym and cardio?

I mix it up, but breakfast is usually a thick steak of some sort, if not a baked chicken breast. Sometimes I'll make some brown rice and corn and toast a little french bread....on the side, some grapes, pistachios, dates, and figs. I also take a tablespoon of olive oil. When I have the time, I like to make a waffle mix using some whey protein mixed with the flour. I can't taste it....tastes just like regular waffles.

My breakfasts usually look like a bulker's dinner. I avoid shakes in the AM and use that room for the real stuff. I'll top it all off with one of those 42gr of protein shots from IDS.

The body needs energy no matter what you are doing. Think of food as fuel, and what your goals are, such as, gain weight, lose weight, maintain weight, overall health, etc. Eating right is finding the right mixture of carbs, protein and fat to meet your needs. Eat a good breakfast each day no matter what you have planned. If it is a workout day, make sure the meal has enough total calories.

Here is my breakfast: cereal, yogurt, milk/with protein powder, and fruit. I have that every day. I work out 1.5-2 hrs after eating. Nothing but water and coffee before workout time.
