Breakfast of Champions? (Read 972 times)


I look my best blurry!

    I want to know what all of you "champions" eat for breakfast.  I am going grocery shopping today and I want to expand my healthy breakfast menu.  No sausage, egg and cheese biscuits, PLEASE!

      I have three breakfasts that I switch between right now:

       

      - 2 eggs scrambled

      - pile o' fruit - right now it's strawberries and bananas

       

       

      - 3 pieces canadian bacon

      - oatmeal

      - smaller pile o' fruit

       

       

      - smoothie made w/ yogurt, whey protein, flax seed oil, frozen strawberries, milk, half a banana

      Upcoming plans:

      Tahoe Rim Trail 50 M (July 16)

      Hot To Trot (August)

      Woods Ferry 24 Hour (Labor Day weekend)

      Georgia Jewel 50 M (Sept 24)

      Pinhoti 100 (November 5)

        Well, I am not a champion but I will share my breakfast which I just finished. A big bowl of Kashi GO LEAN CRUNCH cereal with non fat milk. It is high fiber and higher protein that almost all cereals out there. On weekends, I eat more after a long run and treat myself if I go out for breakfast. I love pancakes and unfortunately "syrup". BAD!

              I have been eating two breakfasts.  First prior to run and second  following my run.  On days I don't run in the AM I eat most of it all at once.

               

              ~ Oatmeal w/ honey and walnuts

              ~ 2 Hard Boiled Egg Whites

              ~ Cup O Coffee

               

              RUN

              ~ Mango/ Banana

              ~ Yogurt

              ~ Whey Protein powder

              All Blended Together

                Best Present Ever

                  steel cut oats and raisins with a grated apple and/or a bit of peanut butter or toasted walnuts and/or unsweetened apple butter.  Peanut butter on whole wheat toast. Egg, spinach, cottage cheese omelette.  Quinoa with fruit and walnuts sometimes.  Shredded wheat with raisins, and, for some reason, unsweetened soymilk (otherwise I don't use soy milk, but I prefer it over cow's milk with shredded wheat.  No explanation for this.)  Greek yogurt and homemade granola or honey and fruit. Muesli and yogurt and a grated apple.   Boiled eggs and fruit.     All with many cups of coffee.

                   

                  This morning I came back from running 10 miles and my husband had made french toast with whole wheat bread (he bakes all our bread) for the kids so I had  a slice of that with apple butter on top. It was very yummy.  He'd put vanilla and cinnamon in with the egg and milk.   On Sundays, we almost always make whole wheat buttermilk pancakes for the kids.  I don't usually have them, but they are good, and we usually have leftovers that we heat up later in the week in the toaster oven.

                    You need to combine carbs and protein for breakfast.

                     

                    1/3 c Oatmeal with scoop chocolate protein powder, chia seed, and peanut butter.

                     

                    Frosted mini-wheat with scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder.  You can combine this any cereal (keep sugar under 15 gm)

                     

                    Whole Wheat pancakes - with added banana, chia seeds, protein powder, sugar free syrup.

                     

                    Protein shake with banana.

                     

                    Also, you should constantly be feeding your body protein.  Snacks should include a carb and protein as well.  Protein keeps you satisfied and your body uses it for repairing muscle and tissues, and red blood cells.  Aim for maybe 20 - 30 gm of protein per meal depending on your size and activity level.  I aim for just under 1 gm per lb of my body weight consumed in 5 - 6 meals/snacks per day.

                      ...

                       

                      Also, you should constantly be feeding your body protein

                       

                      No.

                       

                      You need to eat FOOD for breakfast. And you should constantly be feeding your body FOOD.

                       

                      Protein is not food.

                      I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

                        I just drink a pot of coffee. I'm not sure if Trent would classify it as food, but I do.

                          Coffee >> Protein, w.r.t. being food.

                            Once I had a cinnamon crunch bagel from Panera, although calling that thing a 'bagel' seems just wrong. It has a big clump of cinnamon sugar in a depression on one side, so It looks much more like a bialy.

                              You need to combine carbs and protein for breakfast.

                               

                              No I don't.

                              What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

                                My favorite breakfast is steel cut oats with cinnamon, walnuts, blueberries, flaxseed and a little fat-free milk.  It keeps me full all morning.  When I am running a lot of miles I add some peanut butter to it.
