Is this a good breakfast?

[BengalsFanatic]

I have a bottle of water, bowl of cheerios ( 2% milk ) and bowl of oatmeal

[Mitchell5879]

water, milk and oatmeal is good. I would take out the cheerios and add a protein source. eggs, or a protein shake would be good.

[tee45peeolb]

you need more protein
ie: eggs whey cottage cheese

[UberVamp44]

Shoot to intake alot of protien and slow burning carbs cuz beside post workout breakfast is the most important meal.

Where did our ****'n staples go? Staples to body-builder's breakfast:

*Fresh Fruit
*Grains
*Vitamin supplementation


Animal protein should be dead last (or, almost last) on your list for BREAKFAST... Especially if you're the type that insists on eating 8 meals a day. The truth is, you're greatly overloading your body with undigestable foods if you're eating 50 grams of whole animal protein with every meal out of 6, 7, or 8. During breakfast (AT LEAST during breakfast...) you should cut back on animal products and shoot for something easier to digest. If you're really so concerned about lack of protein (even if this is a fairly idiotic concern, because you'll be getting so much later on), get nuts and seeds. Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein, and eventually all of it will be sorted into different types of amino acids anyway. You don't have to 'combine' these foods to get whole protein, either, as your body produces many of its own types of amino acids. Simply eat fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, grains, and take your vitamin supplements. You'll thank yourself for it later, if you know what's good for you.
If you can, however, fit an animal-based ingredient into your breakfast, I would highly suggest something like tender-cooked eggs or unpasturized and well cared for fresh milk. This is also a good time to get in your fat content, especially if found in plants. Avocados, flax seeds (and oil), etc are nice sources of easily digestable fats.

Don't drink normal milk. Most of the calcium cannot be absorbed (SCIENCE), and what little whole protein is left from the stupidity of processing isn't worth this puss-filled mistake of a creation. Find yourself REAL dairy or don't drink it. You'll get plenty of calcium through proper dieting, and this has been proven without a doubt to be true. Your D2 can be found in other animal products or in yourself (literally...).

Eating only Cheerios, processed milk, and "oatmeal" (if you can call it that, really) to fuel up the start of your day is no better than grabbing a 2 candy bars and a multivitamin capsule. Follow the staple guidelines whether you're eating 1 or 40 meals a day.

Also, just stop with the cheerios. You're wasting your money. Ignore what is said about them on the box. Whatever they say goes right along with their advertisement plan, because they are >selling a product<. If you want cereal, buy things like whole-wheat biskets with light sweetener (usually something like raw sugar, evaporated sugar, raw honey, etc). Granola cereals can be quite tasty, especially with a honey coating, but are really only 'nutritious' when eaten at the right time and with the right things. Also, whole is best.

Oatmeal should be oatmeal, and not baked oats with sugar, processed and treated dried fruits, and butter. Oatmeal = Oats and warm water. Not super-heated water, but warm water.

Rice is a nice thing to eat for breakfast, but most people have been eating so much sugar for so long that they can't honestly say they can TASTE the rice by itself, and so add everything they can to make it bad for them.


Remember that breakfast is literally the most nutritiously rewarding part of your dietary day. You should, for one meal, focus on nurturing your body first and overloading it with useless animal **** second. You did make one good choice, however. You drank water. Try to see to it that you're getting good water, and not something like Dasani. If it has "added minerals for taste", then forget it. Many bottled water companies add things that will cause perceptively dry throat and other such conditions JUST to get you to drink more. They have admitted to this. If it tastes funky and it's in a bottle, it's very likely a bad brand. Try several out or buy a good water filter and drink filtered tap water.

erm......wow

[Shortyflex]

In a breakfast you want:
- Some slow digesting protein
- Some fast digesting protein
- Some carbohydrates.

You've hopefully been asleep for several hours before it and should have got through all the protein in your system, your body needs some straight away, you're probably already catabolic by this point. You also want to avoid this for as long as possible, hence the slow digesting protein. The carbs are obviously for energy throughout the day.
