If you are like me, it will take you some time finding out what is the best breakfast you can have if you workout in the morning.
I sometimes had too little food, others too much. At times it seemed like I could not digest it. So these are a few of the things that have worked for me:
Oatmeal:
1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 cup of water. Microwave for 3 minutes. I then add blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
My oatmeal breakfast worked nicely for a while, but it didn’t provide me with enough calories to get me through my workout, so I moved onto:
Canadian Bacon and Eggs Bagel:
2 slice Canadian bacon, 2 eggs, 1 whole grain bagel. 1 cup of juice. 1 apple.
I have been having a variation of this breakfast one and a half hours prior to my workout and it seems to be working out for me. I don’t feel heavy or hungry.
I should note that this breakfast might not be appropriate for those trying to lose weight or watching their cholesterol.
I have been working on creating a simple calculator that will allow you to approximate the number of calories your body needs every day. That was the easy part. The problem is that I could not upload it to the blog. If you are interested let me know and I will email it to you… or you could wait and I am sure you will see it here (I know I won’t stop until I can upload it).
