A good breakfast meal

[Cadillac Jones]

I'm starting Ripptoe and I'm making out a food plan. The problem is I don't know what I should eat for breakfast, I hear that should be the biggest meal of the day? Maybe that's wrong but that's not the problem, I wake up at 8:00 AM and Work out at 9:30.

What would be a good meal to start the day with?
PS, I don't "drink" milk, only in cereal.

[specialforces]

right when you wake up
1 scoop whey
1 banana

Breakfest
2 cups oatmeal
1/4 cup raisins
3 eggs
3 eggwhites

And you are right the biggest meal should be breakfeast

[SetauketYankee]

right when you wake up
1 scoop whey - 140 Cals
1 banana - 120 Cals

Breakfest
2 cups oatmeal - 600 Cals
1/4 cup raisins - 100 Cals?
3 eggs - 210 Cals
3 eggwhites - 90 Cals

And you are right the biggest meal should be breakfeast

I don't think u have a clue what ur talking about....

1200 Cals ? good luck with that...

Yeah I'd like to see how far you'd get in your workout with 1,200 kcals of food in your gut.... wow

The best carb sources in the morning (there are more but here are a few)
Apples, Bananas, Grapes, Oranges (or variant), Berries, Oats, Brown Rice, Whole Wheat Pasta...

When leading an active lifestyle carbs are key in the morning, so this should be your biggest CARB meal of the day, not your biggest SIZED meal of the day. Try to keep healthy carbs high, protein moderate, and fat very low.

Here's a great recipe:
2c raw oats
1TBsp raisens
1TBsp Craisens
1TBsp Golden raisens
1 stick of cinnamon

Cook the oats with water (not milk), mix in the tablespoons of different raisens, and stir with the cinnamon stick the whole time. Tastes great, and it's an amazing first meal of the day for macros.

If you feel you need more protein you can stir in some egg whites.

that does look good! The only thing I would definitely add, like you said, would be the protein. It needs a lot more protein so either
-egg whites
-cottage cheese
-protein powder (whey, casein, mix)

I would say something good would be:

1 cup oats (dry measure)
Mix in some whey(1 scoop)
Have it with A couple eggs, and a tbsp of PB.

WTF? Whose oatmeal is 600 calories? Are you adding 1 cup of sugar and a vat of syrup in that as well?

My oatmeal is 190 for 1 cup.

what sort of oatmeal are you eating? 190 cals for a cup is very low for oatmeal

[Calipe]

x2. Mine is 300 per 80 grams of dry Oats.

Wake: whey shake(1-2 scoops)

1-1.5 hours later at work: 3-4 whole eggs(hard boiled), 1-2 pieces of whole wheat bread(pepperidge farm) with some natty pb..

I look forward to this every single morning....

Weight Control Oatmeal. Very low sugar. High Fiber. 190 Cals

Maybe you all are eating Cream of Wheat in Milk or something

I'm on a clean bulk atm and my breakfast is usually something like:
3-4 eggs
1.5-2 cups quinoa with 3-4 tbsp PB, 1 tbsp maple syrup, fruits (banana, berries etc)
0.25-0.5 cup nuts (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, all raw)

well for everyone else's oatmeal and mine included, we eat the original rolled oats, and 1 cup is equivalent to 300 cals, 0 sugar, 6 grams of fat,

[240kat]

1 cup oatmeal
1 tsp brown sugar
2 eggs
3 egg whites
16oz milk
16oz OJ

maybe half a grape fruit...this is what i eat.

-egg whites
-cottage cheese

yeah, first thing in the morning's one of the most important times for protein.

I eat the same type of oatmeal as you...its quite a bit more calories than that for a cup.
