I just look at breakfast as another meal, sometimes i'll have steak for breakfast. If your weightlifting an hour later than just have a typical pre workout meal, carbs and protein.

Milk
Eggs
Cottage Cheese
Yogurt
Fruit
healthy carb rich cereals
oatmeal

plenty of options man. its tough to eat breakfast these days because i'd rather sleep and rush out the door to school. but if you can, just take your pick. a good breakfast can make your day a lot better.

if you don't have time, try an energy bar. I just got "Power Bars" or whatever they're called... 45g of quality carbs and 10g protein, tastes fine just take a water bottle with you cause it will make you thirsty and water helps absorption.

only an hour after you wake you go weightlift? thats gotta be a last ultimatum man, i would do everything possible to get a full sleep and still get at least 2 hours from wake up to workout.

You want to eat some quick protein and carbs when u wake up, then some low gi carbs, and before workout you want more low gi carbs. You would have to get in a routine and find out the fine line between 2 many carbs causing fat gain, and too few carbs to have an intense workout.

To answer your question directly assuming you have to do it this way, drink a shake immediately after u wake up with some whey, eat a large bowl of oatmeal in skim milk shortly after, and start sipping on some gatorade a few sets into your workout ( i recommend buying the gatorade powder, its like 10x cheaper than the ready bottles) and then grab a whey shake post-workout and eat some more oatmeal in skim milk, or have brown rice n chicken.

after you done all that i recommend a good meal including a sufficient amount of fats in the following meal.

There's really no need to remove the yolks. Dietary cholesterol has very little to no effect on blood cholesterol. Saturated fat will not kill you.

This whole anti-fat thing is insane.

30 grams of fat is a lot of fat. Those are bad numbers.

If you want NEXT TO NOTHING in calories and in mg of cholesterol..just REMOVE the yolk..
actually you are not getting all the essential amino acids from just the white, some are found only in the yoke, and theres is no topiC ALL of anyone agrees on, so stop typing like that.

also dietary cholesterol has little effect on serum cholesterol as has been said a few times in this thread, look it up please.

unsaturated fat is good for you, eggs have little SATURATED fat.

u said 30g of fat is bad :S

in a 3000 calories diet, thats only 270 calories, or less than 10%, having a diet centered around lean meats and chicken, youll still need additional fat in your diet to even meet the requirements of a 15% percentage minimum.

in a 6000 calories diet, like mine when mid bulking, it is almost nothing.

Look around. Check on google. Go to your body building sites. Ask a nutritionist. Ask a weight trainer. Ask a teacher. Do whatever the hell you want...

The whole world disagrees with you.

It's better to remove the yolk.
did i say egg whites are unealthy? i said the full protein grade of a full egg is not available from egg whites. Its not better to remove the yolk, only if you are eating enough others sources of fat all day, then egg whites are simply another average protein source. lean and mean.

B-R-E-A-K-F-A-S-T

Are you telling me 30 grams of fat (not including the rest of food eaten) just for breakfast...is not unhealthy?

take some nutrition classes and go to school, cuz you're obviously just some 18 year old jock who doesn't know shyt.
yes, that is exactly what im saying.
30 grams of fat for breakfast with all the protein you get from the eggs too, is a great start to your day. Hopefully your second meal is nice and low gi carbs.

Egg whites are easily one of the purest and superior source of protein available. If you disagree with this, you are clearly not fit to offer any nutritional fitness advice to the public...

BTW... who wants a big carb and fatty breakfast and a puny lunch...? Your argument lacks logic, practicality and intelligence.

You are clearly misinformed about the ordeals of nutrition and fitness.
egg whites alone are not as good grade protein as the full egg, some of the amino acids are in the egg yolk, dietary cholesterol doesnt affect your serum cholesterol to any significant degree, fat is good for you especially unsaturated, egg yolks have mostly unsaturated fat, and 354 isnt that much considering a big mac, wich most eat as a meal with fries and a large coke, and your breakfast should be your biggest. theres not many carbs in eggs so i dunno where taht came from
about 1.5 g carbs per jumbo egg.

What is with this misconception about cholesterol? So what if so many eggs contains such amount of cholesterol. Numerous studies have proved that dietary cholesterol has no effect on blood cholesterol. Infact, dietary cholesterol inhibits the production of cholesterol by the liver.

Killapetehog, did you not notice that picard specifcally said he wanted a high calorie breakfast? Eating whole eggs will give him that.

30grams of fat for breakfast is unhealthy? Oh dear, oh dear. Do some reading.

As for consulting nutritionists; the majority of them talk out of their arses. They still claim that saturated fat is 'bad', ignoring all the studies that have shown that there is no correlation between saturated fat and heart disease.

Yes, egg whites are good for protein, but whole eggs are better for vitamins, carotenoids, fats etc etc.

It doesn't matter what you eat for breakfast as long as it has enough protein, low in fat, low in sodium, and complex carbs if you can.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

thats a good point to bring up, overall weight gain is the real culprit, and trans-fats, those are real bad boys i aint even touching.

Re: Different views

Ha ha. A guy asks for suggestions on eating an excellent breakfast. I tell him to get egg whites. It's just an opinion. They're both alternatives...I keep stating over and over and over that EGG WHITES are the purest form of protein without the needless calories, fat and cholesterol. Bodybuilders prefer to choose egg whites over whole eggs because you obtain the purest form of protein without the needless fat, cholesterol and calories.

People have argued over this for decades. Whole eggs or egg whites....it really depends on what you want...If you want the protein without the fat...go for egg whites. If you want the B vitamins...with the fat...go for yolk. However, regardless of how we argue...they're both different ways of looking at it. Some people like whole eggs...some people like egg whites...they're both healthy in different ways...

However, if you say 30 grams of fat for just a breakfast is NOTHING...I have to disagree. 30 grams of fat accounts to more than 30% of your recommended daily value of fat. Want some numbers? A Big Mac is notoriously known for it's amount of fat..and it has 30 grams of fat. It's no lie. Check the stats...a Big Mac has 30 grams of fat..Personally, I wouldn't want to eat something that has just as much fat and calories as a Big Mac for breakfast...Here's some more numbers...


Double cheeseburger at Mc Donalds: 23 grams of fat
Quarter Pounder with cheese at Mc Donalds: 25 grams of fat
Big Mac: 30 grams of fat
Large French Fries: 25 grams of fat
10 piece of chicken Mc Nuggets: 24 grams of fat
Jumbo Jack: 35 grams of fat

Even Rawblood knows this.....30 grams for a breakfast isn't something to overlook. This is why Rawblood has suggested eating something lighter for the 2nd meal....

Rawblood and I have different views about eggs and egg whites...and it's perfectly understandable...Some bodybuilders and nutritionists want whole eggs...some want egg whites. ...It's a matter of opinion. However, even Rawblood knows that 30 grams of fat(same amount of grams of fat as a Big Mac) isn't something to overlook...which is precisely why he suggested eating a lighter 2nd meal...

Look at it this way. Rawblood suggested eating the eggs whole....and eating a light 2nd meal...

I suggested eating egg whites....and eating a huge lunch..

The argument about egg whites and whole eggs will continue to go on....but please understand that 30 grams of fat for breakfast...isn't something to overlook...
==================================

This goes out to the original poster of the thread...

I know you asked about breakfast...so I just wanted to help out.. If you want to know the amount of calories you should take to reach your ideal weight...take a look at this website. It's helped a lot of my friends out...

Killapetehog, there's a wealth of information at http://www.theomnivore.com/ about high-protein, high-fat, moderately low-carb, (~100g/day) diets. The guy who runs that is an independent researcher and gathers information from any studies he can find.


I eat virtually all of the foods you listed, but include the fat. If low fat works for you, that's fine.
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.
