What’s your first meal of the day ??

[FourOneDeuxFitt]

Just curious when you guys are on a time crunch or when you wake up early enough to throw together REAL food what’s your go to first meal?

Just looking for new ideas/combinations...

Today for myself since I had a little extra time from my gf being loud as fucking Sasquatch getting ready for work I mixed it up a bit from my normal shake:

1 everything bagel
2 whole eggs
1oz mozzarella cheese
2tbsp garlic hummus

Side shake:
2 scoops whey iso
1.5c blueberries
1/2c dry oats

 

[Mac11wildcat]

1 carton of egg whites
2 pieces of whole wheat toast w/ 1tbsp peanut butter each
5oz granola w/ a splash of milk

Schedule necessitates it being a larger meal. ~1450 cals

This is after ~1L of water on the way to work

 

[maxmuscle01]

Two slices of Dave’s Killer bread(powerseed)
3 eggs with 1/2 avocado with Franks red hot sauce.
2cups Fairlife whole milk

 

[TideGear]

4 scrambled eggs with cheese
2 slices of pork jowl bacon

Nothing excessive bc I'm not in the gym atm

 

[Perrin Aybara]

At the moment:

5-7 pieces of turkey bacon
3/4 cup of oatmeal with two tablespoons of peanut butter, a banana, and 1/4 cup of granola

I wake up extra early every morning so I can take my time eating and getting ready for work.

It seems like you're all making sure to get some carbs in at breakfast. Is this a bulking thing or a constant?

My carbs meals are dictated by the amount of carbs I eat a day. When I’m maxing out my intake they’re in every meal. When I’m prepping for a show they start being stripped from meals furtherst from training first until nothing but intraworkout carbs.

So for you there is nothing significant about eating carbs first thing in the am? You only do it to help reach your desired number for the day?

Yup. I don’t think carbs first thing AM is beneficial to anyone who doesn’t need them there for that reason or who isn’t training AM. The longer you go without large insulin spikes the longer your tissue burning “switch” can stay on or can come back on sooner (insulin shuts down catabolism which everyone forgets is how fat loss happens too, not just the dreaded muscle loss).

When I shifted carbs to PM I felt better all day and body comp was better.

Thanks for the insight

the last 3 months have been a little different but generally I'm into a half pot of black coffee, 6 whole eggs and a few more eggs in liquid eggs, some cubed ham or something of the like mixed in the eggs and 2 slices of DKB.

as of recent its been 1.25 cups of dry oatmeal, couple cups of greek yogurt, and a protein shake (50g approximately) and a half pot of black coffee

edit - pussy. always trying to get some pussy with breakfast. probably getting it 20% o the time during the workweek. Don't tell my wife.

 

[MindlessWork]

2-3 eggs on bagel, coffee and banana.

200 grams of eggwhite + 1 whole egg.

[T-Lab]

8 oz egg whites, collagen, one scoop isolate. I’ll add my instant oats back in when done with this cut.

 

[Samsquanch]

I don’t have much time in the morning, so liquid egg whites, scoop of whey, banana, 1/2 cup oats, tablespoon of peanut butter all in a blender.

@Mac11wildcat

I definitely agree with your statement about pushing carbs not only closer to workouts but also pm. Body composition becomes MUCH tighter when doing so. I find that when I do that and for breakfast stick to just fats and protein it makes a huge difference. If I weren’t trying to add weight right now I may have only but a 1/2c dry oats with my breakfast in training days. Other than that it’s all centered around my workout (pre,intra,post).
Also, I legit FEEL better with less carbs first thing in the morning.
