Upon Waking:
2 scoops Whey/Casein Protein
2 cups water
1 cup whole raw milk
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1-2 cups oats
2 tablespoons Walnut oil
1/4 cup Peanut Butter
1 tablespoon raw honey
This tastes like the best oatmeal cookie you have ever eaten, this also doubles my post-Serge workout shake.
While drinking my shake I prepare 4 eggs (scrambled) with Spinach, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese.
Make some fresh ground coffee with a French Press and you have a most satisfactory breakfast experience.
4-6 whole eggs
couple slices of medium cheddar
low carb ketchup
1-2 scoops protein w/ 1 tbsp flax seed and 2 tbsp olive oil
8-12 oz oj and 8-12 oz milk
5 fish oil caps
or
1 cup oats
2 scoops chocolate protein
4 whole eggs
cinnamon
1-2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp flax seed
(this makes damn good pancakes)
2 tbsp peanut butter on them
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup syrup
8-12 oz milk and 8-12 oz oj
5 fish oil caps
Try having oatmeal pancakes for breakfast. They’re fast, easy to make and very tasty. I used to have them when I was dieting down for shows up to three times a day, since they kept me full and satisfied, but didn’t have a lot of calories and could be made quick.
Ingrediants:
1/2 C liquid egg whites
1 whole egg (if you prefer)
1/2-1 cup oatmeal (dependant upon your carb requirements–and quick oats work better)
1/2-1 cup wheat bran (This is wheat shell with very little calories, as it is just the fiber portion mind you. Look in the bulk food section.)
1-2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Mix all this together in a mixing bowl. Get a skillet nice and hot while doing so, on Medium heat with some cooking spray. Add all of it in one big portion. Flip when bubbles form on top. Serve with no sugar syrup, or splenda and extra cinnammon.
Also, you can make it fluffier by adding low fat butter milk and 1 T. baking powder.
On week days, I don’t usually have a lot of time. So, I usually go with something quick like a big bowl of oatmeal, blue berries, strawberries, cinnamon, honey, and almonds. I chase that down with a tall glass of milk.
I have a second breakfast / snack at around 10am that’s about 800 calories worth of pb&j sandwiches on wheat bread with another pint or two of milk.
On the weekends, I have more time to mix things up with omelets (turkey, cheese, and veggies), home-made breakfast burritos, home-made stuffed strawberry french toast, bacon, etc.
First off,a pint of warm water with a squeeze of fresh lemon in there,
It’s great for flushing toxins out and preparing your liver/digestive system.
I’m also currently experimenting with adding a dash of apple cider vinegar.
Follow up with a 3/4 whole-egg omelette with a slab of mature cheddar cheese folded into it and melted,
with quick-fried tomatoes or a can of plum tomatoes.
served with wholemeal toast or a bowl of unsweetened muesli or porridge with a sprinkle of raisins.
If I don’t feel like cereal,or want something lighter carbs-wise,I’ll have a huge slab of watermelon and some raisins later on.
Either way,I have a spoon of ground flaxseeds too.

Or if my stomach is a bit peaky or I’m training early,I’ll have a vanilla protein shake-no top brands here,It’s a cheap-ass one from Holland & Barrett-yes,it’s 90% SOYA protein (Oh,shut up!) and its got vitamins plus papain and bromelain (digestive enzymes) say what you like about soya protein,but with all that,and it was half-price (Ã?£3:50) you can’t go wrong-I prefer whole foods anyway,it’s more of a back-up,I don’t buy in to a lot of products and supplements anymore.

Ahem… so err… no kippers then?
(Someone had to.)[/quote]
Ha ha,nice one!
Well,not every morning,they are not as cheap as they used to be and they stink the place out,but yeah,sometimes I ‘smoke me a kipper for breakfast’.
Kippers and porridge is a damn fine breakfast,a couple of servings oily fish and some quality carbs first thing?
magic! if I owned a gym with a cafe area,I’d serve it and call it the ‘Highland Breakfast’ I bet some of those Scots at the Highland Games knock back some of that shit in the A.M.!
Cap’n Crunch. Truly, the weight lifter’s greatest ally.
No really, I eat a lot of eggs too, but when I want to break the monotony, my breakfast could include oatmeal, berries, fruits (usually an orange), natural peanut butter, ham, low-fat thick slice bacon (with the grease napkin’d off), or cottage cheese. Then again, I’m a fatty fat fat fatso so I’m on a cutting diet which is quite boring. =)
1/2 - 1 whole cup rolled oats
teaspoon honey
scoop or two of vanilla protein
cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
assorted fruits/berries (I mix it up)
usually 2-3 scrambled eggs on the side
sometimes I have chicken sausage instead of the scoop of protein, or instead of the eggs
