Breakfast
-
What are some of the breakfast habits of the fatbusters?<br />
<br />
If I am doing cardio in the morning then I will go to the gym first and have breakfast at work - toast or porridge sache usually.<br />
<br />
However, while it is ideal to do weights in the arvo, it is not working out for me, so I will have to do it in the morning. I think you really need to have breakfast before that, so I need something really fast, but that also works really fast as I will need to draw on those carbos immediately.<br />
<br />
Musli is good, but takes a while to eat. Maybe whole grain toast?<br />
<br />
What works for you guys? -
I generally dont eat breakfast, bad I know, but normally I start work at 5am so getting up an extra 30 minutes earlier isnt really that high in my want to do list. I try not to exercise in the mornings if not because I dont like to exercise on an empty stomach but by the same measure I dont like doing cardio after Ive just eaten. <br />
Im not that into my weights at the moment because Im focussing more on fitness but it used to just be a couple of bananas or a milkshake before I hit the gym when I was doing them -
I've only been going for a week now, but my breakfasts are pretty quick (take about 10 mins to eat)<br />
<br />
I have about 1 cup of muesli with no milk and a protein shake to wash it down. Boring, but I have noticed a huge difference in my energy levels throughout the day by getting into the breakfast again. -

Yeah, a bit of milk can do you the world of good. That's what I try and tell the girlfriend anyway.<br />
<br />
For me it's trying to find a balance between something that is quick to prepare and eat, but also substantial enough to get me through a weights work out first thing in the morning. I think you're right Bart - weetbix might be the way to go.<br />
<br />
Mickster, what do you mean muesli without milk? You mean just crunching into it?<br />
<br />
RB, that omlete sounds primo - you should open up a shop. Milkshake would probably be a goer too. -

I would eat all the profits and then have to rely on someone like Jerry Springer to do a special show on me where he could embarrass me on national TV by arranging to have me cut out of the building and transported to fat camp. -

Couple of pieces of toast with vegemite, cuppa tea and half a glass of OJ. Gym then a protein shake at the end of my sesh and a banana at work.<br />

<br />
And you can get through a pretty sweet gym work out with that Bones? -

Yeah I just dig straight into it. I don't like skim milk all that much so I just pour a bowl of cereal and start munching. I plan in buying some vanilla protien and trying that as milk when I get through my current container. -
I know someone who puts all of his breakfast in the blender then drinks it while driving to work.<br />
<br />
From memory it has something like<br />
<br />
1-2 scoops of protien<br />
1 cup of oats<br />
some fruit (such as strawberries or a bananna)<br />
and skim milk<br />
<br />
Never tried it myself so I cant tell you whether it tastes good or not. -
Protein shake first thing, swallowing down creatine tablet and fish oil capsule with it.<br />
<br />
Train to work.<br />
<br />
Just before i go into office i go to local cafe and buy a bread roll with two sausages and a cup of tea.<br />
<br />
Awesome.
