Good breakfast?

[Clubber Lang]

I am 24 years old 6' 220 with a gut. I am trying to lose some body fat. Is this a good breakfast for me:

Days I don't workout that day:

1 scoop of whey in 8 oz. of water
3 whole eggs
multi vit, 500 mg vit c

Days I do workout that day:

1 scoop of whey in 8 oz. of water
5 egg whites with salt
1/2 cup of oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon mixed with Non Fat dairy beverage
multi vit, 500 mg vit c

I think that on the days that you dont work out you should cut back on some of the fat so instead of three eggs maybe 2 whole and 1 white and you still need some carbs so eat some oatmeal that day as well. Because your body will use the protein to refill glycogen instead of contributing to your muscle gain.

Im 5'8 and have a gut and I do up to 10 egg whites every morining. Why even eat the whole eggs? I do 1/2 cup of oats every morning too.

1/2 to 2/3 cup of oats (dry) is a must. Cut the fat and add the carbs.

Here is my diet layout:

1)Breakfast 5:15-5:30 am (days I workout that day)

1 scoop of whey in 8 oz. of water
5 egg whites with salt
1/2 cup of oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon mixed with Non Fat dairy beverage
multi vit, 500 mg vit c

Breakfast 5:15-5:30 am (days I don't workout that day)

1 scoop of whey in 8 oz. of water
3 whole eggs
multi vit, 500 mg vit c

2)Lunch 10:30 am (I eat at work)

Turkey sandwich
or (alternating with)
Tunafish sandwich

3) Pre Workout (days I lift) 3:30 pm

Chicken breast with some pasta or some vegetables

Dinner (days I don't lift in place of Pre Workout meal) 3:30 pm

1/4 cup of whole natural almonds (26 pieces)
Steak broiled with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray, steak spices, garlic salt, salt, and pepper
or (alternating with)
16 oz. boneless salmon fillet (preferably Wild Alaskin) broiled with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray, garlic salt, salt, and pepper and 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil poured on after cooking

Post Workout 5:30 pm (days I lift)

IMMEDIATLY AFTER MY LAST SET

Whey protein shake and dextrose 50 g pro 100 g dex

4)Post-Post Workout 6:15 pm (days I lift)

1 3-4oz. chicken breast with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray, marinade, salt, and pepper
pasta
500 mg of vit c

Evening Meal (days I don't lift in place of PPWO meal) 6:15 pm

2 tbsp of natural peanut butter
1 3-4oz. chicken breast with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray, chicken spices, salt, and pepper
500 mg of vit c

5)Bedtime meal 8:30 pm

Micellean protein shake (2 scoops, 40 g of protein) with 2 cups of Non Fat dairy beverage and 1 tbsp of flax oil with lignans

Sleep 9:00 pm

I will also be drinking 2 gallons of water a day

I will be lifting weights 3 times a week (m,w,f) and doing cardio (boxing) 3 times a week (tues,thurs,fri) sat sun are rest days although I'm probably gonna start doing some sprints on sundays come spring time.

So my question still stands, on the days I dont workout is 1 scoop of whey in 8 oz. of water, 3 whole eggs, multi vit, and 500 mg vit c a good breakfast?

Or should I stick with 1 scoop of whey in 8 oz. of water, 5 egg whites with salt, 1/2 cup of oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon mixed with Non Fat dairy beverage, multi vit, and 500 mg vit c on the days I do and don't workout?

Actually I was thinking a better breakfast would be to have 1 scoop of whey in 8 oz. of water, 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg, 1/2 cup of oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon mixed with Non Fat dairy beverage, multi vit, and 500 mg vit c.

What do you guys think?

I think the first breakfast is better and I think everything else looks pretty good except i would get rid of the pasta and put in some oats pre-workout and maybe add in some more veggies through out the day. What is in those marinades you are using because sometimes they can have a lot of sugar.

 

[marshallmadman]

I would drop the 100 grams of Dextrose. That ain't nothin' but sugar. I got news for you, contrary to all the "research", it's doing absolutely nothing for your gains.

 

[Clubber Lang]

I heard it helps shuttle the protein into your muscles post workout.

It's just my opinion that the excessive insulin response caused by dextrose is counter-productive to your goals at this time. Once you get your body to where you want it, then you can add it in. Like I said before, I really don't think the real world results of dextrose are nearly what the hype originally was. You have to remember that most of the hype over dextrose was due to it being the main ingredient in Cell-Tech.
