Breakfast ideas...

JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2005/05/19, 05:58 PM I'm trying to find an alternative for breakfast . Trying to switch my diet up in hopes of triggering some fat loss. That said is there any other awesome breakfast foods that are different than the staple oatmeal and egg whites, that's just as good for you? or maybe cutting back my oatmeal from 1 cup to 1/2 cup and adding something else in to make up for the lost calories. I think the egg whites are fine but i can't really think of anything to replace them with, thats as lean and pure protein as they are. I was thinking of may some hashbrowns made from sweet tater's or something like that for carbs. Any ideas would be much appreciated:dumbbell:

I like the sound of beans, maybe a healthy bean burrito, wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla with beans, eggwhites and some ground beef or ground turkey would probably be the healthier choice. Oh yeah are refried bean bad? they just tatse so goood! Thanks for the ideas.

Let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. In the morning, add 1 scoop of chocoalte protein(or more if you desire), and cut a banana in slices on top. It is pretty awesome. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Well I got the brown rice and almond in the fridge for tomorrow morning. I noticed that it cut ot my protein and replaced it with carbs, is this good because carbs are protein sparing?
