Why Pinneapple?

[chinnythehu]

My morning shake,
1 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries
1/3 cup oatbran cereal
1 cup broccoli
2/3 cup milk isolate powder

I've been advocating more consumption of fruit than conventional bodybuilding wisdom dictates for years.

broccoli in your shake? how does it affect the taste of your shake? i'm sure it gives it a nice green color.

lol 1.5C of oatmeal is alot higher in carbs that 1C of pineapple.

1C of pineapple has 19 carbs and 2 of them are fiber.

It's also psychological. Mid-morning is a potential danger zone for many people. It's the time of day when they still have a few hours of production needed before lunch and they're beginning to think about things like how bad their job sucks and so forth. Pineapple provides a mild spike, can satisfy a sweet tooth, and is unusual enough to be diverting. You can still hate your boss, but now it's easier to be a glib mofo about it.

mine says 1/2 cup - 17g of carbs........therefor 1 cup is 34........_ 1.5 c of oats = 115g carbs......bit too much for anyone. I'll nix it down to 1 cup, of both, plus 6oz chicken.....sound better?

Helps aid protein digestion.

No, follow your trainer's advice to the letter (no slipping, remember?). Buy a CoC or similar and do some grip training at your desk to burn off your energy reserves.

Enzymes

Does a body good.

Papaya is another interesting food.

Yes , Bromelain is the digestive enzyme in Pineapples. Also pineapples are loaded with sugar, so eating sugar with protein is generally a good idea. You might wanna use some Glucorrel R with that though as pineapples have alot of sugar. Infact I think it's the highest GI fruit there is

Oatmeal is low GI , pineapple is high GI. There is a huge difference in eating glucose then eating complex carbs...

It really doesn't change the taste much and I'll even mix two cups into a shake for a protein and fat meal(with ground flaxssed and fish oil capsules). I hate veggies and it's the most tolerable way for me to consume them. I tend to down my shakes quickly, which helps.
