Quick and Easy Breakfast Ideas?

[AdamL00001]

I'm bulking. I usually wake up at about 6 AM, and I'm looking for something to get into my system before I get to work and eat a "real" breakfast at my job's cafeteria around 8:30 (eggs and oatmeal, or something like that). Besides chunking a quick protein shake in the morning, I need some good ideas for some preferably solid foods that I can eat that will get me to my bigger meal in the morning.

what about making something the night before you can grab in the morning? hard boiled eggs or something. I like cliff bars too when I am in a rush. all organic, complex carbs and 10g of protein.

I'll warn you: Clif Bars have a GI of over 100.
Clif Builders Bars have a much lower GI.
Just a heads up.

I usually hit up a bran muffin, banana, and large gulp of milk if I'm in a rush.

I'm majoring in art... I hope that will be me once I've finished my "required academic" courses. I hate those.

This is stupid enough that it just might work. I can just see myself picking up my can of oats and just dumping it into my mouth and hoping for the best.

How the HELL do Clif Bars have a GI of over a 100


You do realize they have claimed it as a Medium GI food and if it were in fact over 100 they could be sued. Seeing as how they are a company since the early 90s I don't think you are right




Clif Bars are great. I feel great when I have them and I DON'T crash like I do when I have actual high GI foods

Well, that was one GI test (I got it from the GI database), for a discontinued flavor (cookies and cream), so maybe you're right.
As the first ingredient is "brown rice syrup", that's the only thing that would really make me think they are, too.
I'm still only consuming them AFTER I work out because even medium-GI foods like quick oats make me tired usually. Plus, low GI carb consumption pre-workout has shown to burn through fat stores vs. glycogen stores more readily in female swimmers... I'm sure the same would apply to female OR male weightlifters.

Edit: Besides, I've always found that Clif bars don't "stick" with me very long.
