What's your favorite breakfast cereal?

[SpaceMonkey]

Breakfast cereal is for suckers.

It has it's places- it's actually a pretty decent option for growing kids, and people specifically needing to carb up, but not for relatively inactive adults.

My housemate was doing a pretty serious cutting cycle a couple of months back (eating way below maintenance with near zero carbs/fat) and was also still running 15-20km each sunday for his long run. On a saturday he'd have a re-feed day to get his glycogen levels back up before the run, he'd scoff about 2/3 of a large box of nutri-grain! It worked though, he kept his running distances up and dropped a lot of weight (he's gone from 145kg a year or so back to around 100kg now).

It would be interesting to see where he's at in another six-months.

Generally speaking low-carb diets just aren't sustainable.

You just cannot survive purely on protein, you will get liver failure.

He'll be fine, he's eating at maintenance now, his diet is pretty relaxed but he's running 50-60km a week so he can afford it to be. He was dropping the weight doing 2-3 week RFL cycles.

Four krispy kream doughnuts and a latte with skinny lowfat soya milk.

Watch it, soy can do terrible things to you

Soy is a controversial one. The Okinawans currently have the highest centenarian ratio on earth and they eat a lot of tofu and both their men and women have an above average level of sex hormones which is one of the reasons they live so long.

I eat All Bran for breakfast most days. The honey almond one, tastes good.

I step it up to either crunchy nut cornflakes or nutri-grain when I am carb loading. Maybe fruit loops if they are on special.

I don't seriously think there's anything wrong with soy, I just don't eat much of it cause I love dairy!

I tried natural yogurt in the mornings but its pretty gross.

I have quarter bowl of muesli, quarter bowl of sports plus, one sliced banana and light milk.

Is that ok?

I tend to eat a couple or so eggs, maybe a bit of yoghurt, a can of salmon or tuna and a piece of fruit like a banana for breakfast most days.

I cook some oats, mix in a scoop of choc protein powder and raspberries, so good

 

[abpanther]

I find it weird to eat eggs with no toast, you just eat them on their own?

I'd have breakfast with you anytime

Chopped apples, cocoa powder and oats goes alright too.

Pretty healthy breakfast, salmon for breakfast is actually a really good way to go. Keeps you sharp.

Is oats literally like 1min in microwave?

 

[Cliffhanger]

Yeah.

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, especially if it's post work out.

Working out or running in a fasted state makes everything taste so good. I imagine it's like what food tastes like when you're high on weed.

I usually just have a shake for breakfast these days.

250ml lite milk
250ml fat-free natural yoghurt
1 scoop unflavoured WPC
1 tablespoon psyllium
1 raw egg
1 tablespoon powdered oats (if I feel like I'm gonna need some extra carbs for energy)

Usually enough to keep me going til midday.

 

[abpanther]

Does that have any taste?

I buy the quick oats and just go by the cooking times on the box. Thaw the raspberries on a separate plate too
