Ways to improve breakfast

So every morning i wake up and eat 2 whole eggs and 1 egg white with a slice of toast. (i add green Tobasco sauce) very delicious. If its my workout day ill go 45 minutes after i eat my breakfast. Should i add more to my breakfast?

If you're 180 pounds, depends on your goal, but yes. You need to eat a bigger breakfast than that, unless you're eating a bunch during the day.

Try having 4 eggs and 2 egg whites.. That will fill you up more.

[y0family]

I could do that. I guess that brings on another question. Would the brand of eggs really make a huge difference?

[lightsarefallin]

Some brands contain more omegas. I guess you could opt for those, but I don't think it makes a heck of a difference. An egg is an egg.

Try adding turkey sausage or lilydale turkey bacon. The bacon I get is 25 cals a slice with 5 grams of protein and it cooks pretty quick too.

Have you tried IF (intermittent fasting)? Skipping breakfast and incorporating fasted workouts 2-3x a week has been the best thing to happen since starting my BB journey. I follow the 2 meals a day protocol, one 3-500 cal meal 2-3 hour pre workout then an epic 15-1800 cal feast post workout. Steady cutting 1-2lbs per week while gaining strength, its pretty amazing.

I don't know how much your worried about calories, but I like to make a little breakfast scramble. I'll take 3 or so eggs (or whites), and scramble them with maybe a cup to a cup and a half of frozen chopped spinach that I first heat in the microwave, all that scrambled with a quarter cup of feta cheese.

It's not many calories, you get lots of spinach, and the feta and spinach combo makes it taste like some Greek food or something. Pretty delicious!

I also just add a slice or two of Canadian bacon or real bacon - bacon doesn't have that many more calories than turkey bacon and I think the flavor is much better.

i'd add more carbs at breakfast, especially when you're working out soon after.
Protein + Carbs preworkout has always been a MUST for me! insane pump!

Props on the green tobasco with eggs, ****s amazing on eggs.

[kingarnold187]

i always eat 4 egg whites with 1 yolk...and 2 packets of flavored oats and half a cup of normal oats....oats n eggs...good stuff man...oats always great for slow digesting..longer lasting energy.

[iwheylots]

you could try a protein shake? gets a good 800 cal in with a good balance of fat, protein & carb.

2 tbsp peanut butter, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of oats, protein powder, icecream or fruit & some cubes of ice

Different people get different things from food. Assuming you're perfectly happy with your breakfast and only interested in adding some things to it, why not add some onions/peppers/tomatoes to your eggs and a bowl of yogurt and berries?

How do you know he's not eating big the rest of the day? Wouldn't what he should eat for breakfast depend on the calories and macronutrients he is getting throughout the rest of day? It's impossible for anyone to tell him how much he should eat at any one single meal.

Exactly. Love the sig. Rise Against rules

Best way for me to improve breakfast.... Eat it twice! I do this a lot. I will eat eggs, oats,pacn cakes etc in the evening as well. Never gets old!

[sunngodd]

Add more if you're still hungry.

Daily totals matter, meal totals don't.

love all the replies. getting some great ideas for a great breakfast. i do eat consistently throughout the day. im sure like everyone here i LOVE food. and i love to cook so i make 1-2 cooked meals a day. I made this honey chicken stir fry last night that was ****ing delicious. heres the recipe so you guys can try. i know its not breakfast talk but i had to share. and i used noodles instead of rice.

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 garlic clove, minced
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli stir-fry vegetable blend
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
Hot cooked rice
Directions

In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken and garlic in 2 teaspoons oil. Add the honey, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is lightly browned and juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
In the same pan, stir-fry the vegetables in remaining oil for 4-5 minutes or until heated through. Return chicken to the pan; mix well. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Serve over rice.

I added some shrimp btw. made it 100x better :-D

My breakfast has been -- 3 or 4 eggs, 2 large whole grain pancakes with berries and bananas cooked in topped with butter and sugar free syrup, 2 turkey sausage patties, and a glass of either orange juice or whole milk. I'm hungry after maybe an hour and a half after eating this so I could just imagine how you feel after your breakfast. Definately add some meat in there but then again like previously stated, it all depends on your fitness goals.

Jesus Christ! Why is everyone's breakfast so generic? I eat homemade Hawaiian pizza for breakfast. It's not like you HAVE to eat eggs, pancakes, toast, and what not for breakfast. I eat pancakes for dinner.

Perhaps because that's what people enjoy eating? Why don't you unwad your panties. Nobody is trying to make you eat eggs. Enjoy your hawaiin pizza and be quiet

I eat a big bowl of oats for breakfast. Partly because I enjoy oats, secondly because it's hard to beat paying 7 cents for breakfast.
