I keep hearing that I should avoid bread and dairy products (among other things), with that, I just wondered what you guys have for breakfast because I usually have wither 2 slices of toast or a small bowl of cereal with milk.

Is this small amout OK or should I avoid it totally?

Well it depends what you are trying to accomplish. Cutting or Bulking?.

Whatever your goal Breakfast is an important meal.

If you are cutting (losing fat). You need to get the metabolism going, so never miss breakfast. Milk and bread as part of a calorie resricted diet is not a problem. I use semi skimmed and wholemeal or rye bread. It also depends what you have with it.

Natural peanut butter, contain good fats and protein.

Cereals ? fine but choose one that isn't full of sugar. Oatmeal, shredded wheat, Weetabix, Museli without added Sugar. Have some protein too like eggs or bacon (grilled).

Most of all enjoy breakfast and fill up so you dont go hungry within a couple of hours and then go binging.

If you are Bulking, well I am about to start a bulk in Autumn so I am not the best for advice there, and look forward to reading other views.

My breakfast over the last three days:

Bowl of GrapeNut flakes with soy milk and a sliced banana on top, or

French toast made with whole wheat bread, whole free-range eggs, and all natural (no sugar-added maple syrup), or

3 whole scrambled eggs with peppers, onions, and jalapeno peppers mixed with 1/2 cup of shredded organic potatoes with 4 oz of buffalo sausage on the side

:)

Wow, a lot of people eat eggs for breakfast !!!

I have a protien and complex carbs shake w/semi skimmed milk.

Protein Shake (~350 cals, 35 g prot):
1/2 Cup Quaker Oats (27 g carbs, 5 g prot)
1 Scoop Pro-Rated Chocolate Protein (22 g prot)

I am cutting and usually have:

3/4 cup egg beaters
1/2 cup oatmeal w/tbsp honey
2 boca sausage links

I workout first thing in the morning and usually eat this an hour or so after my PWO shake(whey,oatmeal,banana,honey)

5 dl low fat (0,5%)youghurt

on which i put on the following;

cinnamon
artificial sweetner

1 dl (33 gr)crushed linseeds
1 dl (33 gr)rye flakes
1 dl (33 gr)wheat sprouts
35 gr whey protein powder


protein: 78,5 gr = 50%

To fill up the lack of carbonhydrates I eat a few pears during the first hours of the day.

1.5 cups Kashi Heart to Heart cereal with 6 oz almond milk and 1.5 oz blueberries
2 slices stone ground whole wheat toast with 2 tbsp almond butter
12 oz orange juice

A banana if I have any.
Chocolate protein shake made with water and a bit of peanut butter.

Various things I eat for breakfast:

Oatmeal (maybe a few raisins and/or nuts added in, plus Splenda)

Egg Beaters (or similar); sometimes with one or two regular eggs thrown in. About once per week, I'll eat 4-5 regular eggs scrambled or as an omelette.

Peanut Butter on 100% whole wheat toast. Plus a banana or "fruit only" jam.

Whole grain, high fiber, low sugar cereal of some type -- like Wheat Chex or Fiber One.

My breakfast is usally 700-850 calories. I don't cut any corners for that first meal!

I don't know how people eat Oatmeal, I can't stand the stuff personally.
Although, I do find it usefull for mixing raw with eggs and such.

1 carton of simply egg whites (7 whites)
1 whole omega 3 egg
salsa/mushrooms/spinach mixed in

1-2 bowls of oatmeal/splenda/atkins syrup/blueberries/cinnamon/molly mcbutter.

Yum :drool: :drool: :drool:

1cup quaker oats
1cup skim milk
1cup whey protein shake (mixed with water)

50g, Oats
100g, Cottage Cheese
100-150g, Fruit (today it was pineapple)

1 cup of raisin bran with 1 cup of 1% milk.
30 min later. 2 scoops of All the Whey protein powder with 20oz of water.

Bran helps keep me regular and I'm full all morning until 11:30 when I have my snack.

Breakfast is my favorite meal, it consists of:

3/4 cup of All bran
3/4 cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch

1 omelette made with, 1/3 cup of Egg whites, 1 whole egg, 2 pieces of xtra lean turkey, and a slice of non fat cheese

2 cups of skim milk

this makes out to about 625 cal with 55p / 90c / 11f

if anyone thinks that this is not a good breakfast, let me know please, i like hearing others inputs... thx

Pancake made of 1/2c raw oats (quick is my preference, but whole is OK), 1/2c egg beaters, and 1 scoop ON vanilla whey, topped with 1 T homemade cashew butter and Maple Grove farms sugar free maple syrup.

Awesome, IMHO.

1 carton of simply egg whites (7 whites)
1 whole omega 3 egg
