Thread: HoW ImPoRtAnT Is BrEaKfAsT?

Very important....

Most important meal of the day, IMO.

So you only have 3-5 mins. Why not have a protein shake with oats mixed in and a little natty PB. You can even make it the night before, put it in your fridge (make sure you add enough water or milk because the oats will absorb alot) and then you can drink it when you first wake up.

no excuses

thanks Jodi..might try it tonight

Wake up 10 minutes earlier? Breakfast is SOO important.

lol..i also might give that a try

I am always tight for time also, what I do is boil eggs the night before.

definetly...

Breakfast = breaking the fast, the name says it all. after the nightly fast the body needs nutrients to reverse the catabolic state that the body in. nobody that is serious about sports and especially bodybuilding skips breakfast. it takes 2-3 minutes to make a shake.

breakfast is the one time of the day where it is better to eat something unhealthy vs eating nothing. much better to eat Pop Tarts or a Snickers bar then go to with out food until lunch. that would be a good 12 hours with out food in the body, simply horrible...

Why only 3-5min....................could it be you wake up at the last minute and are unorganized???

i am rushed in the morning like hell too, but i'd rather be late to school and face the consequences than miss my morning shake.

When I had to get up early in the moring for school, I got up a couple hours before class started... thank god for college... my earliest class is noon now . I'd just suggestion getting up earlier, breakfast is definately the most important meal of the day.

I agree. I have been late to class many times before so I could finish out my breakfast.

Eat like a King for breakfast is the motto!!

I don't like eating breakfast. It makes me feel to worn out early on in the day and I feel like it slows down my metabolism. I know I am one of the very few but its what i prefer.

me too, don't get me wrong there have been times where laziness kicked my ass and I've skipped breakfast but then I'm draggin ass until 9am when I have my 2nd meal. Needless to say skipping breakfast doesnt happen too often. A bowl of oat meal, whey shake,and 1st dose of thermo's and I'm rockin out wit my......well anyway breakfast is a needs "kick in the ass" and shouldn't be skipped no excuses get a f#ckin alarm clock.

that makes no sense at all

sounds like you have some sort of disorder going on (i know i need my breakfast to get me going in the morning), either that or you're eating way too much the night before!

your muscles have been without protein for a good 8 hours, and if you dont get any protein into them then the catabolic state you wake up in stays with you throughout the morning.
Have something, even if its not much, to get some nutrition into you.....

That's why I asked what is it he's eating. I'm curious

He is a she, lol. Don't get me wrong, I believe in the importance of eating a morning meal for most. I just don't and wont. Instead I follow a 12 hour fast, meaning I don't eat 12 hours from the last meal of the day to the next day.

Even when I competed in bodybuilding and fitness, and won every show by the way (without the use of steroids) I did not eat in the morning. When I biked across country i did not eat in the morning. The same goes for my runs across country. Just not a morning eater.

I figured I would hear about my post, the only point here is what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. God, if I ate in the morning like most of you guys and girls ( ) I'd be dragging all day.

But to make a long story short and to answer the question I don't eat anything in the morn.... nothing.... zilch.... I do however drink a few glasses of water and I am on my way. Maybe I just have to much energy... but no morning meal for me.

Listen if it works for you more power to you.

I'm sorry for calling you a he, it happens to me all the time here.
