Breakfast...

Ruggedbull Posts: 18 Joined: 2003/06/23	2003/07/29, 01:07 PM I am curious to know what people eat for breakfast and how they get their protein in. I am normally on the run in the morning hour...I have been doing a meal replacement shake..but looking to do something else. Any feedback would be great!!

You are very insulin sensitive then, plus most probably in a catabolic state from the overnight fasting. A good fast acting liquid whey is a good choice for some quick protein and to get you out of the catabolic state. Having a complex carb with it for some sustained energy is a good choice also. Like oatmeal, and even some cottage cheese which is slow digesting protein(gels in the stomach) for slower release of amino acids. Eggwhites is also a good choice. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron

The protein in the Myoplex is fast acting, so therefore that part of it can be good, but I would not rely on it alone. A better choice may be some simple whey protein for the quick acting source, and it will be beneficial(healthy) also to have any of the food choices mentioned in the postings above. They are solid and nourishing, and a good way to start off your day. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron
