Breakfast, best porridge (oats) and raw eggs?

[rjw99]

Started eating microwave porridge (oats) for breakfast. Currently eating flavoured Quaker Oats, 2 sachets which have...

6g protein
64g carbs
10.6g fat
6.4g fibre

Just wondering if I would be better to get just basic unflavoured porridge oats, love the golden syrup flavpur though, or if theres another porridge more suited to bodybuilding?

Also I usually just down a few raw eggs in a glass, now thinking of mixing them into the oats before microwave, anyone do this?

Cheers all

Why in the world would you eat raw eggs???

And one meal, sans the content of total daily intake, is largely irrelevant to the outcome of your diet.

A good source of protein before work? Dont really have time to cook first thing in a morning so just down them. Would be nice if they mixed in well with the oats though.

Eggs go well with oats. I like to throw an egg to my oats. First microwave the oats, them mix egg or two, then microwave a little so the egg(s) cook. Works every single time.

Hard-boiled eggs doesnt take long to make. you can make them the night before and reheat in the microwave

Thanks for the tip! Doesnt longer cooking reduce the protein intake?

I've recently started drinking egg whites out of the carton as inspired by my fitness icon, Gaston. I'm with OP where it's like "ok this is the fastest way to get this into my system and I don't have to do anything and they taste good". Why not, as long as they're pasteurized.

No, but your body isn't digesting most of the protein if you're eating them raw.

The porridge best suited to bodybuilding is the porridge you like best. One meal doesn't dictate the entirety of your diet - and besides, food choices are (mostly) irrelevant in the face of your overall net energy balance, and macro/micronutrient intake.

Also, raw eggs sound groce mang. You some kind of new breed of paleo?

Thanks for the advice! And just been told that when you cook eggs it breaks down some of the protein.

Never mixing eggs with my oats again!!! Tastes eggie and is lumpy... Awful! Would rather drink them raw and enjoy my oats.

Nothing new eating raw eggs, been done for centuries, kids used to be given an egg as a treat to eat raw! Hah would love to see the look on a kids face if you gave them an egg instead of a chocolate bar lol

Stop over-complicating things, hit your macros and try to get a decent amount of micros in for overall well-being. also no time to cook eggs, i don't believe it. The difference between a cooked egg and a raw egg is the chance of contracting salmonella, otherwise the difference in bio-availability of the protein is negligible.

if you dont enjoy it why are you doing it? have a scoop of whey if you want protein quickly in the mornings, or anything else for that matter.
