Breakfast and general advice

Hey all, just wanted some advice for breakfast and some ideas for different breakfasts. Currently I have 2 scoops of protein shake and 50 grams of peanut butter and a bannana Its quick easy and keeps me full till midday or so. But is this a good breakfast for someone who wants to loose some podge? Its around 600 calories..

My daily intake is currently 2,000 calories around 120 grams of carbs, 180grams of protein and about 90 grams of good fats this is for a 6ft2 96kg bloke with about 20% bfhave a desk job so not that active till I get home but I do cardio for 45 mins 3 times a week + 3 gym sessions. Hopefully when I sort mu sleepimg out ill get some morning skipping thrown in or sunday swimming sessions.

Scrambled eggs in the microwave for two or three days in a row. Alternate with porridge (without added sugar).

Then you're a body builder like me!

(not... I've got quite a bit to lose as well, like the OP, but I know this kind of breakfast is the best way to do that, it's just about being consistent and sticking with some basic principles but easier said than done :rolleyes:

Considering the macros inside those 600 cals, it looks like a good breakfast to me. Unless you're seeing no weight loss inwhich you'll wanna re-visit your diet!

Oats, 2 scoops whey, 1 tablespoon PB, with semi-skimmed milk, a banana, blended up into a smoothie = nomnomnom!!!

You both lose. Scrambled eggs should be cooked in a frying pan, not the microwave.

For content, however, that's not bad, although depending on what the OP's trying to achieve, maybe even a bit heavy. If you're trying to lose weight, there isn't much point in pummeling your kidneys with all that protein that's not being used by your body through hard weight training, so I'd ditch the whey and save the money for high quality actual food (i.e. nice chicken vs. Tesco value ****).

I'd say that's ideal. I wouldn't switch to porridge as some suggest, probably one of the worst ways to break your fast for somebody trying to lose bodyfat.

I hardly think a high protein diet would be pummelling your kidneys whatsoever when our body and digestive system have evolved specifically to process diets comprised almost entirely of animal fat and protein with a bit of fibrous fruit and veg.

- poached egg on toast, palmful of almonds, 200mls fruit smoothie / piece of fruit.

- protein scoops, banana, kiwi, peanut butter, flax seed oil - Blended.

- poached egg, grilled bacon, asaparagus, little bit of holandaise. Nuts / seeds / pb.

Ant :cool:
