what breakfast.??

wrestlos · 03-19-2004, 09:09 PM

what's the best thing to have in the morning before a workout.?
the last couple of times i have felt uneasy in the stomach. this then puts me off more intense lifting.
i eat about 45 minutes before a workout. I've tried cereal, and yoghurt.
am i missing something..??

**P-funk** · 03-19-2004, 09:13 PM

eggs and oatmeal
tuna and flax

ceral and yogurt are the worst things. So much sugar will make you sluggish as hell.

sara · 03-19-2004, 10:04 PM

cottage cheese and oats w. few egg whites

wrestlos · 03-19-2004, 10:37 PM

thanks, i'll try cottage cheese & oats.
what about the time to eat..??

As soon as you wake up.

sara · 03-19-2004, 11:20 PM

as soon as you wake up.. 30 minutes - 1.5 hours before you'r workout and right after you done working out have you'r second meal

atherjen · 03-20-2004, 05:56 AM

I usually eat an hour before my workout..
oats and eggs work for me. or brown rice and eggs.

**P-funk** · 03-20-2004, 08:42 AM

sometimes i eat 5min. before my workout.

Same here on my days off when I wake up late but I ussually eat about an hour before the gym. Find what works best for you. I workout in the afternoon after class so by the time I get to the gym I've had meal 1-2-3 then workout 4-5-6-7!

leg_press · 03-20-2004, 11:52 AM

Personally I have two bowls of Crunchy Nut flakes, two fried, scrambled or poach whole eggs, and two rounds of wholemeal toast with low fat spread and if i'm in the mood yeast extract. if not then without, I have oj to start off with, and either a low fat un sweetened latte or a pint of water instead.

Wow, this has got to be one of the most repeated threads on all the boards I have seen.

Premo55 · 03-20-2004, 06:45 PM

leg_press, no offence, but that's a horrible breakfast to be recommending to people.

Peace.

supertech · 03-20-2004, 06:56 PM

I have oatmeal with whey,milk and blueberries

LMAO....the fact that you made that statment and then ended with "peace" totally makes that post. I found it to be really funny.

Try a bagel and a protein shake.

yeah, bagels will spike your insulin, but usually that and a protein shake and I'm good until about 11am.

wrestlos · 03-23-2004, 02:06 AM

does anyone have cottage cheese & eggs?
how do you do the eggs.?? (prefer whole)

jaim91 · 03-23-2004, 04:42 AM

I used to have cottage cheese with fruit, and then 2 scrambeled eggs. I also liked them sunny side up, but because I didn't use any bread, I had nothing to dip the yolk in. With eggs, it's to each his own.

squanto · 03-23-2004, 09:25 AM

i like my eggs sunny side up sort of... but i flip them at the end. i hate it when the yolks are really dry though, so i just keep em flipped for like 10 seconds. that way, theyre not that runny, but not all dry and pasty. thems good eggusses.

Paynne · 03-23-2004, 10:04 AM

My favorite is 1 Cup oats, 1 scoop PP, 5 egg whites, fry with nonstick spray like pancakes. Use a little sugarless applesauce on top.

Peace

leg_press · 03-23-2004, 10:28 AM

k soz, I've just happy that I've finally got my diet sorted out, plus I like it, it fills me up and I don't feel bad because I haven't eaten a breakfast with enough fat to equal a block of lard

BritChick · 03-23-2004, 11:09 AM

I always start my day with a protein pancake...

1/2 Cup Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Egg Whites
Protein Powder

... on training days I add 1/2 banana or other fruit, I also top with Atkiins Syrup for sweetness... yummy!!!

sara · 03-23-2004, 02:12 PM

For my last meal I cook 1-2 whole eggs in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds and mix it with LF Cottage cheese and black pepper....very yummy when the eggs are not well cooked

blest · 03-23-2004, 02:40 PM

P-funk's got it....oatmeal and eggs

jaim91 · 03-24-2004, 04:52 AM

I take it you don't eat egg whites? A healthy alternative woudl be to combine 1 whole egg with 3-4 egg whites, put in it a blender, and then fry them....tell me if this works for you

blest · 03-24-2004, 08:22 AM

.....don't like doing dishes....just whip them up in a bowl; I make an omlette w/ 5 egg whites and 2 whole eggs......good choice

sara · 03-24-2004, 02:03 PM

and melt some cheese

jaim91 · 03-25-2004, 04:57 AM

You don't have eggs every morning do you? Variety is the spice of life...and if your body gets used to eating the same foods every day, then your metabolism will get used to metabolising those foods the same way and it will be harder to rev it up.

Skib · 03-25-2004, 07:08 AM

i'm not as picky anymore... now i'll eat anything from 2 eggs and a bowl of bran flakes w/ milk, 2 eggs and a bagel (plain), 2 eggs and a bowl of oat meal... sometimes i'll have 1/2 Cup of egg whites with a bagel (what i'm eating right now), 1/2 Cup of egg whites and a bowl of oatmeal, etc...

I was eating really strictly for a while but found it didn't make much difference... I can get away with eating slightly "junkier" but don't get me wrong, I hardly eat any junk food... I'm just happier eating what I feel like eating rather than sticking to the same crap everyday... sometimes I CRAVE a tall glass of milk in the morning so I drink it... I guess it really just depends on your goals... I've come to realize that I'm only human and can't avoid the foods I love for the rest of my life... I just make sure I keep within' my caloric range and try to get in as much protein as I can and as little amount of fat... I'm not affraid to eat a shit load of carbs on days that I'm training....
