Breakfast?

[ajej4780]

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day and also one of the most difficult for me. Made so mostly by my inability to get up early enough to fix a proper meal. So here is my question: "What did you guys have for breakfast today?" I need some variety in my meals and maybe you guys can give me some ideas. By the way, I had a meal replacement shake for breakfast because I was running late.

Always Hungry,

James

I'm boring. I'll usually have a MET-RX Colossal/Big 100 or a MET-RX Protein Plus Bar for brunch. It's easy, the macros are good, and they taste good.

EDIT: Forgot to add I also take 1 scoop of Amazing Grass Superfood in 16oz of water mixed with one packet of Crystal Light. Good stuff.

Don't over think it

Why is it one of the most important? It's not necessary. Hit your numbers however it works for you. If you can't do breakfast, don't.

[powercage]

didnt have any, too early to cook

This..
I just drink a coffee
Hit your numbers and allocate your macros/calories based off what works best for you
at the end of the day 3 meals, 4 meals, 6 meals is your personal preference.

whatever keeps you on track, dedicated, and consistent is what matters most, not if you eat oatmeal and eggwhites at 9 AM or 9 PM

eat whatever you want if you want beef and pasta at 9am go for it, if you want protein sludge and fruit then eat it. If you want chicken and rice eat it. Vary your meals to prevent burning out of eating the same stuff over and over and use different spices/seasonings/sauces to help add variety.

I love those things. All the flavors a great. I probably have 5 different types of protein bars on my counter. I have to have variety, especially in the morning.

[WolfBeast]

Combat Crunch Bars
Pro-oats
Make eggs in bulk the night before, and have eggs and toast?

[Big_Spaz]

8 Egg Whites and 1 Whole Egg (Scrambled)

Large Banana



is my staple

I don't agree with a lot of the responses here, and a protein bar loaded with preservatives and Saturated fat is not a good long term solution.

Get a whole wheat bagel and put peanut butter on it and eat it's you drive to work. Or make a bowl of cereal and sprinkle strawberry protein powder on top. Or rice cakes with peanut butter and honey.

Those options are all quick, and the bagel with PB can be made the night before and wrapped in a paper towel and zapped in microwave for 15 seconds before eating to make it better.

Sorry, let me elaborate. Its one of "my" most important meals. I usually feel pretty awful when I don't eat breakfast. Something about getting something on my stomach first thing that helps me get going. When I skip that first meal, I spend the rest of the day trying to catch up.

These sound like some great options. I will definitely try the bagel and PB!

Never thought to make my eggs the night before. I'll have to try that.

[VO2Maxima]

I had a couple of PB&J sandwiches this morning. Only instead of peanut butter, it was actually protein nut butter, made with walnuts and protein powder. I could eat that stuff with a spoon.

[euro7muscle]

5 whole eggs.

[Misctake7]

1 whole egg
6 egg whites
1 rice cake topped with peanut butter
Overnight oats

[JackMan017]

Today was a protein shake. Lately it's been trade offs of these 3
- egg white omlette with cheese, veggies, and possibly some chicken
- plain, non-fat greek yougurt with sf/ff vanilla pudding and frozen berries
- protein shakes
I'm a breakfast guy, really hard for me to go without it. Good luck!

First thing I have when I get up, is a whey shake in water.

Then fix my egg sandwich which is:
sauteed green peppers and onions, one whole and a few egg whites in a 100 calorie sandwich whole wheat thin bread topped with jalapeno cheese.

Then I have oatmeal with natural PB

[ChesterGillette]

This morning I had a P28 bagel, toasted with 2.5 servings of Philadelphia jalapeno cream cheese. Yummy.

[danielmoo]

For me personally, this is what I "fix" for breakfast every day before class -

2 scoops BSN Syntha-6 (currently Choco PB)
16oz almond milk
2 Kroger Multigrain Waffles

Comes out to be ~700 calories, 74g carbs, 50g protein, and 17g fat for the breakdown. Keeps me full for a bit, but it's not too heavy of a meal either.

6g Saturated Fat isn't what I consider "loaded". Come on now. Especially when saturated fat has been proven to not be detrimental to ones health.

"sandwiches" more than one? lol. Oh I love nut butter. What brand do you get?

5 whole eggs.

Boiled or scrambled? I find that I can eat more eggs if they are scrambled, but I do love boiled eggs.

1 whole egg
6 egg whites
1 rice cake topped with peanut butter
Overnight oats

Variety! I like this. That omlette sounds good. My biggest problem is time. So I rarely make an omelet and when I do it is usually not very creative.

sauteed green peppers and onions, one whole and a few egg whites in a 100 calorie sandwich whole wheat thin bread topped with jalapeno cheese.

That egg sandwich sounds delicious...you should post us a picture of that. =-)

Oooh is that cream cheese hot? I love Jalapeno flavor but not so much the heat.

Hmmm...where are all of the calories coming from? Are you using syrup?

[VO2Maxima]

[QUOTE=ajej4780;1396868863]"sandwiches" more than one? lol. Oh I love nut butter. What brand do you get?/QUOTE]
Four.
And I either buy P28 or buy whatever kind of nuts I want and grind my own.

[danielmoo]

400 calories from 2 scoops of S6
+
120 calories from 16oz almond milk
+
180 calories from 2 waffles
=700

[Starkk]

Half a dozen eggs, some chicken sausages and some Kodiak cakes



If you're in a rush, though, do some proats or whatever and then eat them on the way out the door. Super easy

[mtpaquette]

I rarely eat breakfast, or before 4pm, even though I wake up at 9-10am. If I do I usually have 4-6 whole eggs and 2-4 slices of toast. A lot of times I'll have a Kroger brand Carb Master yogurt (check them out good macros and lots of flavors), and occasionally I'll throw in some bacon or something.

[TrainerTone]

My go to breakfast is 1 cup of Oats with a scoop of protein powder

[OT2000]

Have to eat breakfast crew.

Usually 3-4 hard boiled eggs, 1 Fa-ge Plain Greek yogurt and 1/2-1 avocado. With some coffee.

Sometimes it's a quick shake to go. On my days off and with my family, we eat breakfast somewhere. I usually get some fried eggs with grits or oatmeal. Sometimes with French toast as well.

[llahhsoj]

Bacon and eggs usually if I decide to cook. Prep time isn't really that long. Most days I use a packet or 2 of prepackaged flavored oatmeal and a protein shake.

[NEBinAK]

I alternate but in my Arsenal is

Raison bran with a protein shake or yogurt

Oatmeal with coconut flakes and cherries sweetened with honey and a protein shake or yogurt

Breakfast burrito consisting of 2 eggs 2 sausages and an ounce or so of cheese

Ham and cheese omelette or if I'm feeling fancy a prosciutto and cheese omelette

Those are pretty much all I ever make myself, my wife does pancakes and French toast and stuff like that. We also usually have a dozen or so boiled eggs in the fridge.

[Misctake7]

What are overnight oats? Did you make them the day before?

You're a rep and haven't heard of overnight oats? Where you been bro?

Take the dry ingredient of oats and protein powder and mix in bowl. I add small bits of cashew milk at a time until it's just a little more watery than protein sludge. Stick in fridge for several hours(usually the oats absorb fully in about 4-5 hours. Just pull out of the fridge and eat. If not enough milk is used and it's too thick, just splash some more on top and mix. It's usually nice and creamy and makes the oats soft.

[FormulaLT1poweR]

Oatmeal and protein powder. Doesn't take long at all.

More time (weekends, etc) scrambled eggs and a shake.
