avocadozz!

[Polsie]

Hey guys hows a nice 1/2 avocado (green) with a slice of wholegrain bread and a tbsp of olive oil for breakfast! It tastes amazing :P btw. I know its healthy fats and low gl carbs but there isnt enough protein. If i add some source of protein the breakfast is gonna hit 500+ cals. What do you say ^^?

[PrimetimeNoob]

you say 500+ like its a bad thing. Most people on bulk here have alot than that more breakfast.

You can cut out some of the avocado or just do a tsp of olive oil and drink a whey shake if you want more protein.

How about some smoked salmon on top? Would add some extra protein and different healthy fats (omega 3).

I often have fish in the morning for breakfast, kippers, mackerel and salmon are great choices.

You could even grill some extra lean bacon or turkey-based bacon if you're fed up of eggs.

And i do agree that salmon has some great nutrtional values and tastes great especialy with home made sause (2tbs balsamic vinegar + 1tsp pb , put in microwave for 30-60 sec and pur on salmon= delicious sh!t!) ^^

fair enough mate, fish in the morning is an acquired taste

[willldabeast]

protein in the morning is more important that over 30g of fat.

one or two days in a while (1-2months) without protein in the morning wont kill me will it ;p

Add egg whites for a low calorie good protein source I agree with cutting back on the olive oil just a tad.

Very true, food is best perhaps, but polyunsaturated fats are oxidized very easily and are heat sensitive, so I doubt you are getting 5 full grams of Omega 3s by cooking the fish.

Sushi ftw.

egg white is like 3g prot which is aorund 12cals so if i get some its more usefull to chow down 5-10 whites at a time.. also as i said not htat ima eat that every mornig... i bought an avocado 1 avocado and i think its a good idea to vary at times plus this combo gives around 20g of fiber in one meal thats almost the daily rda of fiber intake in 1 meal :P

no but it wont help you. breakfast is very important to get protein since you havent had any for >8 hours.

[areya2005]

Ive always been under the impression not to mixed fats with carbs. So maybe one or the other? no use for 2 energy sources was my understanding.

With that, first meals of the day I believe need to be a little carb heavy as youve pretty much have been fasting for the 6-9 hours you probably were sleeping and your body is catabolic upon awakening.....

total will have around 11g protein... ill add some flax ontop to mix the fats even more and make a satisfying start that will keep my carvings chilled untill next meal which will be around 2h later

My breakfasts range from 400-700 calories for the most part. I usually get my fats from eggs tho . . . check my journal (link in sig).

A large egg has 1.6g saturated out of 5.4g total fat. I do the same, beef & dairy as well as eggs. I figure for optimum hormone levels ~30-35% of total fat intake should be saturated,

ok. do what you will. but 50g of fat and barely any protein is not whatt you need for breakfast. obviously you are not open to suggestions though.

I could never eat half an avocado...I'd definitely eat the whole thing. Don't really think it's necessary to ingest the olive oil, though. The avocado has lots of quality fat and is about 250-300 calories. The OO is 120 or so for a tablespoon. I'd rather do a whey protein shake instead of that OO for a breakfast.

Throw in an egg or three and it's a good breakfast : )
