what do you eat for breakfast? give me the meal and your stack if youβve got one!
i have protein boosted granola with blueberries, plain yogurt, and a little honey. i chase this with a multivitamin, biotin, magnesium glycinate, 200mg caffeine, 250mg theanine, and a good ol protein shake.
My #breakfast :
- hard boiled egg
- 1/2 a handful of unshelled walnuts
- small pouch on StarKist tuna (70 cal, 17g #protein)
- cottage cheese
- 1/2 an avocado
- water
- black #coffee
... for context, my youngest daughter says I have no joy in my life.
... and honestly, it tastes pretty good.
When I was a kid, my dad used to eat cottage cheese by mixing it with mayonnaise... which I thought was just about the most disgusting thing I had ever seen. Based on these experiences, I assumed I did not like cottage cheese.
Decades later, I tired it. Not really too bad. But I can definitely understand the inclination of not liking cottage cheese.
@david_kehm hmm maybe I'll get into it one day.
The mayonnaise I don't think I'll manage in this lifetime though!
Tuna for breakfast is a bit off the beaten path... but it just seems like a very efficient way to deliver a decent amount of protein with a lower calorie count.
Trying to avoid those processed foods.
I've made peace with the fact that there is no convincing my teenage daughter that anything I do makes sense... but I remember what it was like to be a judgemental teen.
@david_kehm no reason not to, really. I don't get why breakfast skewed so sweet or fatty when those are the last things we need first thing in the morning.
I'm gonna get into it. Nice open-faced tuna sandwich or something. #teamtuna #granolagang
Option 1: 2 eggs scrambled with extra egg whites on one slice of white buttered bread.
Option 2 (there are no eggs): 0% fat greek yog, berries, honey, 25g granola (I can't be trusted to free pour the granola).
Option 3 (when I don't want to be near eggs): 40g Marshmallow Mateys cereal and a banana.
ALWAYS with: Aeropress coffee with whatever unsweetened plant milk is cheapest.
Used to have omega 3s and collagen but don't any more. 2g creatine before a workout though!
@nicelady 25g of granola is perfect. My free-pour is consistently 35g, though.
I haven't seen Marshmallow Mateys in a long time. I'm not American, so that plays into it -- but some of those malt-o-meal cereals are great.
Do you have a carton of whites?
@tom Mateys are quite a recent find for me. I'm in the UK and picked them up in Farmfoods on a whim and love them. Definitely couldn't have them every day but from the back of most of the packs "healthy" cereals often aren't much better than the "kids" stuff so when I want something sugary in the morning I just go all out!
Yeah I have a bottle of whites in the fridge. Probably add about 50g based on how long it lasts.
Glad I'm not the only one with the granola π₯£
@nicelady holy smokes! I didnt know they weren't only in the US.
When I was a kid my Mom was disgusted by the cereal options and decided that we might as well have Lucky Charms, since all cereals were trash and about the same health-wise. Terrible stuff... but still magically delicious.
I do Nature Valley granola, which is absolutely no better on the surface.
More cereals should come in bags. #granolagang
@tom Aw man I do really miss the days when I thought those Nature Valley bars were some sort of healthy superfood. Might try their granola next time.
If you're in the UK and want some Mateys then B&M is the place! Farmfoods seem to buy about 5 boxes at a time so I made a big mistake recommending it to half my social circle.
