Acceptable Breakfast?

[friedymeister]

My breakfast threads are getting redundant and boring even to myself, however, questions must be answered and I appreciate your responses.

How's this for breakfast? I know it's not ideal but is it acceptable.

1 Pop tart
1 scoop whey shake.

The pop tart should provide the carbs for the absorption of the protein, correct?

Thanks in advance.

Not to be an @sshole, but you can't be serious...

Skip the good ol' sugary pop tart dahling. Replace with oats mixed with 1/2 small banana (or other fruit), cinnamon, splenda, and milk if you prefer.

Really man, why don't you just get a big scoop of sugar, pour that down your throat and then drink a shake.

[friedymeister]

Hate to say it, but I am dead serious. I'm looking for a way to incorporate pop tarts without the guilt and without completely screwing up any reasonable diet plan. I figure 1 pop tart, instead of 2, will make it a little less detrimental as well as adding protein.

Any other suggestions?

If you're eating them on a regular basis, start feeling guilty about it or stop doing it. And if you're a troll, nice job. I chuckled a little.

Come on a Pop tart??? Try steel cut Oatmeal with a protein shake. I'm sure your not being serious about the pop tart. If you are STOP. Seriously. Good luck with the oatmeal.

[rob?]

1 pop tart a day wont hurt. its fine. make sure to get some better carb sources throughout the day though.

[dobkato]

I think you should eat 2 pop tarts every 3 hours and maybe four after you workout. Don't eat anything else, drink plenty of water, and you should be jacked in 12 weeks.

Skip the pop tart .... jsut like everyone else has already mentioned get some quality carbs in the morning that have some fiber in it like oatmeal.

1 pop tart prob won't kill you (depending on your goals) but there really is no reason to have it.

[The Solution]

so why would u want to incorporate somethign that is loaded with sugar into ur body everyday? sure 1 wont kill you but there are 100's of better choices out there

how about some whole wheat bread, some whole grain cereal, oatmeal??

these are 100% better for ur body and takign in 1 poptart and a shake in the morning is prob what 250-300 calories at the most? how much do u eat a day and are u tryign to starve urself??

i think ur getting some bad carbs in the morning IE white processed food + all the sguars from ur poptart.. the whey shake aint bad.. it would be better to get ur carbs from a better complex carbohydrate source or a good fruit source IMO

Eh I know OP said breakfast, but he could have the pop tarts PWO with his whey shake, that's when all that sugar might actually get put to use.

[friedymeister]

1 pop tart is 200 calories and 1 whey shake is another 120. So we're looking at a total of 320 calories for breakfast.

Relative to most cereals, it seems to me that the pop tarts is about nutritionally equivalent in terms of sugar.

And most cereals are sh*t as well, incidentally...

[Oddball8945]

have the pop tart and a piece of fruit to balance it out LOL.

but seriously, if you can buy a pop tart im sure you can buy some type of breakfast cereal or bar or fruit or whatever to eat instead.

[Lil Freek]

um... why do you want a poptart?

I'd like to eat a pecan pie with my dinner every night, but y'know, it's not healthy.

are you cutting or bulking? you could count it as dirty-bulking if you're bulking, but the fact that you care about the caloric value of a poptart, and aren't having ANY complex carbs in the morn would assume you know little/nothing about proper nutrition
... just sayin.

[friedymeister]

I've been having intense cravings for pop tarts! Are there other very good tasting bars that are relatively healthy? I was looking at toaster strudels but IMO too much fat, even though there's half the sugar compared to the pop tarts. I looked at the oatmeal to go pastries. What do you guys recommend, I can't fathom eating oatmeal every day. Gotta have my sweets.

[Oddball8945]

get quaker weight control oatmeal then, it comes in a bunch of different flavors has good carbs/protein, better then the poptart.

How about you stop lifting and you will accomplish your goals alot faster. And include candy bars i heard snickers have a bunch of protien... lol

People say NO poptarts for a reason now drop it and eat oats or fruit or something else. Maybe 1 pop tart a week as a reward how about that.

[Lil Freek]

if you REALLY want a poptart... have it after your workout with your isolate protein.. it's really the only time that kind of stuff would be 'acceptable' in any way, shape or form...

Skip the good ol' sugary pop tart dahling. Replace with oats mixed with 1/2 small banana (or other fruit), cinnamon, splenda, and milk if you prefer.

Add a couple scoops a low suger weight gainer (fo da carbs) and BOOM that's mine also.

[Anathemas]

Curious... is the pop tart raw (err, not toasted) or toasted?

P.S. it's all about them strudels... (no homo)

[donbooger]

Slwoly take it out maybe every second day for a week then every third day for the next week then after that once a week or not at all.

I wouldnt eat a pop tart and shake for your breakfast, although if you wanna eat a poptart for a snack or something, go for it. If your cutting, eating a pop tart isnt going to help you out too much. But if your bulking, why the hell not? A lot of people that are saying NO MAN DONT EAT IT, ITS NOT WORTH IT! weight 150 or under. Eating a ****ing poptart (if your bulking) isnt a big ****ing deal. Your not trying to stay cut up, your trying to put on frigin mass, once you start cutting, its a whole other story though. Honestly, I dont know what I would do without my cheat foods, I eat frozen burritos, frozen pizzas, fast food, and other **** (yes, poptarts) pretty often. Im bulking and need the carbs and calories. Sure its not the cleanest bulk, but I need my calories, clean or not.

[nondualism]

Here's a good article about 'bulking'.

Yeah, it's T-nation - just read the article.

[k9nacl]

at this point in my life i'd pick a nice bowl of oatmeal with fruit and some milk over a pop tart in a heart beat. i've come to absolutely love oatmeal.

How about steel cut oats? They do take 30 minutes to cook, but they're amazingly tasty....add some splenda and I almost feel like I'm cheating on my diet.

lol

[Wtf?]

lol....I thought his post was ****ed up from the first sentence. "Questions must be answered" and everyone else is just jumping on the poptart.

[friedymeister]

I thought that immediately after waking and PWO u want protein and the type of carbs doesn't matter.
