What is the best breakfast for a bodybuilder?
1) The best breakfast for a bodybuilder is one that consists of high quality protein, complex carbohydrates, and essential fatty acids.. egg whites, whole eggs, chicken breast, extra lean ground beef, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, whole wheat toritllas, high fiber and protein cereals, 1% milk and peanut butter are good options... Use olive oil to cook the eggs
What are some good options for breakfast when one is pressed for time?
2)A good option for breakfast would be simply to mix a shake together with whey, fruit, and peanut butter. A good breakfast shake would be Whey/Banana/PB
1-2 scoops whey, 1 large banana, 1-2tbs peanut butter.
What are some things one should avoid adding in their breakfasts?
3) One shoud avoid donuts, white bagels, frozen breakfasts like breakfast muffins with eggs because of all the excess fat.. Another thing to avoid is eating a carb-based meal without any protein. Sugary cereals should be avoided because they contain little if any nutrition for a bodybuilder.
