Oatmeal/ Protein Shake for breakfast

[Spidey73x]

I was jw if its ok to have a protein shake and then a cup of oatmeal for breakfast, bc I lift either at school at like 8:30 (and cant get a post shake untill after school) or ill workout after school and have an additional good pws.

I was told the mornin is next best option for drinking a shake, and its better then nothing right? Also, should i just mix the oatmeal inside the shake to save time and maybe even a bannana (if this even is a good quality breakfast)?

In all the shake would be about 1 1/2 cups of milk, 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder, and 1 cup of oatmeal:

fat 8g
carbs 70g
protein 60g

Why cant you take the post workout shake 2 school?

But, that is a good pre workout meal, maybe a bit less protein.

why would you recommend less protein?

it's his breakfast, the time where your body needs food and especially protein since it hasn't eaten in a long while...

anyways, yeah take the protein powder to school in a shakerbottle and put water and drink it at school.

i also recommend you drink the protein shake before school too, since you need it

I think 60g of protein is too much for a normal person to absorb at once, even at breakfast. Ideally, id say 30g pre and 30g post workout.

I go to school at 7, and then i wouldnt be done lifting till about 930. Wouldn't that be bad for the milk as well as the protein sitting there all that time (also i live in florida, its very warm out)?
It'd also be pretty tough to even pull that off everyday, having the short time i have between classes.

o yea....water.....been so used to taking my protein with milk, nvm. hmm maybe ill give it a try, but itd still be tough, do u think thats gonna hinder my gains a bunch if i cant do that everyday, but still eat plenty for the day?

[meathead198]

Heres what I have:

1 hr pre workout(breakfast):
50g oats
300ml milk
75g tuna= 45 carb/30prot/5fat (and 500ml water)

1.5 litres water during workout

immediately post workout
30g whey
75g oats
500ml WATER= 45carbs/35g prot/3g fat

wow that sounds great, i could probably do that if i lift only after school, but that can be so time consuming sometimes ya know? on somedays i have to lift in school cause i wont be able to later in the day. u think itll be alright if i mix it up a little bit and workout in school somedays with no pws till after school and other days workout after school with a good pws?

Its called casein protein slows absorption. Thats what the milk is for. That's why after you workout your pw shake should be mixed with water and not milk.

I still think 60g is too much, I am assuming that he weighs about 140-150lbs.

How much do you weigh spidey?

[Spidey73x]

Are u saying its good or bad that im having milk with my protein in the morning?

[meathead198]

Good pre workout, bad post

[Spidey73x]

I only weigh about 125 actually (for many reasons), so yea im already thinking i should lessen some of the protein intake, i didnt realize it was that much until recently.

[meathead198]

Heres a good macro breakdown for you

weight 125
cals 2500
prot 180g
carbs 320g
fat 55g

have 30g prot,50gcarbs pre workout
30g prot 40g carbs post workout

[Spidey73x]

o dang, thanks man really appreciate it. i can go over calorie intake since im tryin to gain tho right?

[meathead198]

That breakdown is based on what you need to gain weight. probably about 1lb a week. If you dont gain weight, eat more. Remember at least 6 meals a day!

I agree the milk and oatmeal would slow down the digestion sum but 60gs is too much....

Cut it down to like 30g's of protien.....then but 2 scopes of whey in a shaker take it with u to school do your workout and have the other 30g's of protien right after

at least thats what I would do


but oatmeal for breakfast is def a top choice
