Just cannot stomach a big breakfast

[TheRiverStyx]

Here's the deal, I wake up and immediately drink my NOXplode, wait 25 mins then workout. I absolutely cannot stomach a protein shake first thing in the morning, so I am working out on just the NOX. After working out, I make a shake (syntha 6 and cup of milk) and eat some toast to hold me over 2.5 hours til lunch. I eat big the rest of the day, just can't stomach it in the morning anymore. Anyone else out there in the same boat?

I eat a smaller breakfast than most people recommend. I just can't stomach much in the morning either although I do wake up hungry. I Have a small breakfast but then I have a snack 2 hours later. If its working for you than that is all the matters.

I have the same problem the morning is the worst time to try to digest food.

hmmm..maybe you could try to take in BCAA's instead of whey? that will help against catabolization. and in my opinion it feels a lot less heavy in my stomach than whey, its like drinking flavored water.

Thank you even tho your 'Noles cost me $50 last night =P haha

I know what you mean. It doesnt really solve the problem but I started taking 2 amino pills first thing in the morning along with whatever i can stomach at the time. It helps to enrich the food and gives your body a little more complete proteins to work with.

maybe your body just isnt use to having breakfast yet.. maybe keep trying small breakfasts until u can build up a tolernece.. i had to do the same

my friend convinced me into eating breakfast.. now i wake up hungry every morning..

took me a good month or so

Layzie - same here bro. I could never take down breakfast - and if it's too early I still can't!

But when 7:00-7:30 hits - breakfast is probably my largest meal of the day - and the best! Eggs, Coffe, PB, Toast - I'll take any leftover and make it breakfast.

I'd make sure to just eat something...anything. If it's a small pack of jelly beans or something, even.

Eventually you'll get used to it.

i recommend Xtend for the BCAA's btw, cos thats the only one ive tried and i like it.

Sometimes I feel full when I wake up. Maybe try varying what you are eating and not eating one large quantity of food. I eat something like this:
2 oz turkey sausage
1 slice ww bread /w natty pb
1/2 cup oats
1 cup milk
1 banana

Thats really not a lot, but its calorically dense and healthy (I forget the exact macros, but lots of carbs in the morning, about 750 calories, some protein from sausage and pb).

Multiple small breakfast items might help.

I eat ~ 1/2 cup of yogurt or CC (usually with Davinci syrup + some berries) and some light cereal pre early morning workout. I certainly can't do oats.

I assume by 'workout' you mean lifting, not cardio.

As posted above you should try to get something, even if it is just 100-200kcal of protein and carbs. Try a few different things.

When I was using NOX, it made it harder for me to have breakfast. I felt Pukey when I got to the gym. I found the secret was to take the NOX, wait 20-30 minutes, and then take a small protein/carb shake at about 200-250 calories, then head out for the gym.

Depending on how many scoops of NOX that was 230-290 calories I believe.

After stopping the NOX and going generic with my supps, My morning pre-workout shake is 270 cals.

I'd try to get at least 200 cals before a workout just to fuel you and have a supply of protein.

If you still can't do that for some reason, just make sure you get a good dose of Casein and/or Cottage Cheese before bed so stay anabolic through your sleep.

I read an article on this and the writer who was a trainer stressed that getting a solid meal or two made a huge difference than empty stomach. so if your schedual allows maybe train after lunch or dinner. but if you cant he suggested sipping aminos during the workout.

yeah i would suggest maybe some x-tend instead of the NO X-Plode you mighht get some better results..

but in all seriousness if you can eat a breakfast..

take a shake.. whey oats milk and fruit.. limit fats if you want since it will be pre-workout maybe a bit of PB for taste if you want

[daYDreAmErX]

I never eat breakfast... I wake up, take my muli and fish oils, than I mix 1.5 scoops whey + 4 scoops Xtend and I sip it while going to the gym and while I train. I eat my breakfast after my workout and it works really fine for me.

[ironraider52]

i cant take in much 4 breakfast either, so i make a snack at breakfast time (7 am) then i make the 2nd meal the meal that has alotta protein and good carbs. its like my breakfast actually.

Yeah it's what I do...I really can't eat in the morning, I am a slow eater, I cannot stomach it and I am on the run..

Here's what I do:

Breakfest shake because I am on the run and just can't stomach it like I said:

1. 1 scoop of ON Whey
2. 1 cup of oats
3. 2 teaspoons of flax powder stuff (not sure what it is, but I like it due to amount of fiber in it)
4. 2 tbs of pb
5. 2 teaspoons of canola

This gives me around 48 grams of protein, approx 23 grams of fat and 90+ grams of carbs...

This probobly isn't the perfect shake, but so far it has been doing me pretty good...when I get my blender attachment for my amgic bullet base I will probobly do 1 scoop of whey and half a scoop of my casein...which would give me an extra 15 grams of protein (roughly 62 grams in total)

So this is a good morning shake for anyone on the run IMO of course...it could probobly use some changes..(for any suggs, comments feel free to post)

I'd call that breakfast...well, maybe. But in any case you are getting something in before/during your workout. Seems fine to me, although a few carbs probably wouldn't hurt. do you eat carbs before bed? If not you might try that, I find it really helps with early morning workouts.

[Smallbigsam]

Breakfast is my biggest meal of the day!

Man i couldnt live without it!

Always goes like this
-3/4 cup of oat
-a banana
-an orange
-10-14 egg white
-2 tbsp of pb
-ketchup
-low cal syrup
-coffee

1 year ago, i woudnt eat before lunch so i would wake up and spend at least 4 hour without eating a damn thing!

Your body will get use to it!

[gdogg75]

i haven't worked out in the morning in so long... i was wondering how relative your meal the night before in relation to this type of "scenario"?

i mean some mornings i wake up super hungry... and have a hard time eating a full breakfast... at most i can stomach 30grams of protein... then an hour later a shake
