Anything wrong with peanutbutter for breakfast?

[desslok]

For some reason I did not like cashew butter at all, however <3 almond butter.

Negged. Did you get the Whole Foods 365 brand? It is the secksleg.

In soccer there are certainly some endurance aspects to it, but I wouldn't label it an endurance sport. Not to mention, optimization will be somewhat individualized based on the person. Either way, some fat in the morning breakfast won't make or break a person and notice she never even mentioned her training. I think it was more of a general nutrition question. I would not consume copious amounts of fat immediately before running on to the pitch, but in the morning eating some fat and slowing digestion may actually help to sustain long term energy. In the end, hopefully the OP is smart enough to eat in a way that optimizes performance and this does not in anyway negate the answers people gave. Is PB okay to consume in breakfast? Yes.

i totally agree with your statement except for soccer not being an endurance sport, because it definitley is. the typical training session for a high schooler is 3 hours long (i played too). Endurance is definitley necessary so i'd classify OP as an endurance athlete. But i don't really think any of this matters lol.

At 17 y/o, just exercise and forget counting as Julia said. As far as being a soccer player, I can guarantee you that 99% of the best teenaged soccer players in the world do not care about meal timing. It will only be a big deal if you make it a big deal.

srs? meal timing is highly relevant to the athlete who trains multiple times per day, which could be the OP's case since she plays soccer. i'm not saying counting cals is an absolute necessity, but getting enough meals in between training sessions is indeed necessary.

Definition for endurance sport:
A sport that requires the ability to perform for long periods of time at low intensities

There are positions and periods of time that certainly require endurance, but it is not an endurance sport.

No one says it isn't relevant. I just think you are making it a much bigger deal than it needs to be. Less OCD, more living.

what would soccer be classified as then? (just curious).

common sense is all i'm trying to get at really. If you're doing multiple training sessions in a day, be smart and have some good meal/meals inbetween. i'm sure the OP knows this though.

I think I am gonna have some PB for breakfast tomorrow.

Your'e saying that they don't care if they have a full or empty stomach prior to competition or practice? Only one percent of them makes an effort to make sure they haven't eaten a certain way b4? They haven't experienced cramps, or lessened performance based on wether they ate or not? They never made a mental note eg... "well I'll never have pancakes and eggs 15 min before playing again, I just barfed all over."

[ALLUCANEATRIBS]

My daily minimum for fat is 43g.....I just consumed approx 30g just with breakfast alone, all from natty peanutbutter....anything wrong with this?

arent you trying to gain weight? 43g fat sounds like not near enough, even for someone your size.

2nd this, and if i remember correctly from a different post op is trying to bulk as well

That's generally the definition of "trying to gain weight", like the person you quoted said.

So if it is common sense and you are sure the OP knows this, then why'd you choose to point it out and say it's 'highly relevant'? I generally assume people can at least do the basics such as eat so they don't throw up in a training session - if they can't then they need more help then we can provide.

I assumed these were not incredibly stupid athletes who ate eggs and pancakes 15 mins before a game, vomited, and then proceded to repeat this sequence the following day. I was referring to things such as wondering if 30 grams of fat at breakfast is acceptable. The common sense stuff, like cramping from dehydration or eating huge meals at game time goes without saying. At least I thought it did.

Yes but proper pre workout nutrition can make u FEEL much better thus perform much better. Playing decently competitive hockey I can tell the right carbs can make or break how good I feel and play. Maybe she just wants to feel like a ****in boss on the field.

It will only be a big deal if you make it a big deal.

love this

[fitspogo]
