Fruit and Diet

[Sassy69]

You can also mix the protein mix INTO your oatmeal. You can also substitute some turkey patties, hunk of chicken, etc. Its hard to think of Meal 1 as something other than "breakfast food", but whatever provides a good protein source is a viable meal component.

You don't have to have "breakfast food" like eggs for breakfast..... have chicken/rice/veggies or leftovers, etc..... Or find some new ways to make the eggs....

Check out the sticky above "Recipe Thread!" or Obiwan's "Yummy" Thread in the Muscle Food board -- some good ideas abound....

I agree. I get sick of eggs, too - and will have a salad with a can of tuna + tomatoes, etc for breakfast. (I brush my teeth again afterwards. )

What's everyone's opinion on combining fruit with a cutting diet? Good/Bad/Indifferent? What types?

I generally avoid fruit while dieting, but if you must, I believe their are 2 times in the day when liver glycogen is needed the most (fruit is good at replynishing liver glycogen). First thing in the morning, or immediately before your workout.

Shadow, fruit is not ideal PWO and is in no way superior to dextrose. Fruit may be sugar, but despite this, it actually elicits a very low insulin response.

No one said it was ideal Broly...I said that if you must have it when dieting po is the best time of the day.

am on an empty stomach certainly isnt ideal as am cardio is the theme


...and the question wasnt about insulin spikes...it i a question of finding an appop time to eat fruit because of its taste and palatability

I wish fruits post workout with whey would be the best choice for cutting

 

[Sassy69]

I wish ice cream (specifically mint chocolate chip) post workout with whey (or whatever) would be the best choice for cutting.
