[boilermaker]

Besides ww bread , oats and bagels, what do you folks eat a breakfast with eggs for a good carb source?

 

[cpush]

fruit, oat bran, fiberOne or all-bran w/ extra fiber

 

[emunah]

I live on oats, but you could have sweet potatoes, barley, quinoa...any whole grain.

Is All-bran any good? I keep hearing stuff about it. But it seems like soo much fiber...Like how much All-bran would I need to actually equal 45-50g carbs (what I have in my morning cup of oats)?

It seems the GI of All-bran is very low so that is a definite plus.

I eat All-Bran regularly at my college cafeteria. It looks like pet food and doesn't taste very good.

Stay away from Total Bran Cereals, or any Total Cereal for that matter.

This article will explain why to stay away...

You still think that's true with Total? That article is from 1994.

Bagels?!

Anyway - Oat bran + Fruit are my favourite...

But you can do anything really... Make yourself a frittata with some chick-peas or add some chunks of sweet potato... you could make sweet potato pancakes or sweet potato bread.... Make a asian breakfast and have some brown rice in a miso broth with some egg whites..... etc etc..

Just because it is not 'typical' breakfast food doesn't mean you can't use it at breaky!


ps: I wouldn't touch all bran so if you want to increase fibre I suggest you try shredded wheat bran or psyllium added to your oats...

I've been living off oatmeal flapjacks for breakfast for years.

3 apples, 3 Bananas, 200ml apple juice, 100g chopped mixed nuts & seeds (hazelnuts, brazils, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pistachios etc) and 600g oats.

Place the chopped apples, bananas & juice in a blender & puree. Mix in the oats & nuts, put the mix into a lightly greased baking tray & bake for about 45min at 180 C.

I cut these into 12, and three of these plus a protein drink for breakfast/post workout just cannot be beat.

That sounds frickin' delicious...

I'm on no carbs after mid-afternoon, so imagine how delicious they are after 18 hours without carbs and a workout.

when I get tired of oats and need a change of pace...

grits
