What to have for breakfast and days off?

Question

Hi there!

I was just wondering what would be a good thing to eat for breakfast if you're looking to lose weight? I know heaps of people say to avoid carbs.. and you should go with eggs and bacon or sausages.. but I'm curious, would it affect me a lot if I were to eat cereal?

Also, with exercise, is it true you're meant to take 1 or 2 days off to give you joints/muscles a rest and let them regenerate etc?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Don't avoid all carbs..just the bad ones. Eat a whole grain cereal and fruit. I dont call eggs and bacon healthy or a breakfast to lose weight.

Answer 2

Well this morning I had a low fat yoghurt, with a tablespoon of muesli sprinkled over top, with two amonds, cut up pear and a banana.
Other days a good thing to have is porridge, as it will keep you full for a long time with its low glametic index, or whole grain toast with a low calorie spread on it. I have Marmite, cause there are no calories, but I think you can only buy that in New Zealand or Australia. Good luck!

Oh and cereal is alright if its not coated with sugar. Cornflakes or Ricies should be fine, or wheatbiskuits.

Answer 3

Eggs are okay if they are boiled or poached.
Avoid Oily things like bacon or susages.Toast and a glass of Lemon juice is what I recommend.Avoid sweets! Or at least cut down on them! I recommend that dietarys eat a pickle shortly after they get up! Yes that's true about excercise! If wanting cereal Special K is best but put diced fruit with it instead of sugar and milk!

breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make it the most healthiest in order to keep you going throughout the day until you sleep.
Day One: i eat granola cereal, milk, tea, and some fruit, and a multivitamin

Day Two: yogurt, olive oil, pita bread, tea, some fruit, and a multivitamin

Day Three: coffee, grilled cheese sandwich, buttered toast, some fruit, and a multivitamin

Day Four: toaster pastry(trader joes brand are better than poptarts), tea, multivitamin, some fruit.

Day Five: jam and bread on toast, tea, some fruit, multivitamin

Day Six: bagel and cream cheese, tea, some fruit, multivitamin

Day Seven: Cookies and tea or Cookies and milk, and some fruit and multivitamin.

here is variety for breakfast meals that i eat. notice: i omitted meat and eggs because i am a vegetarian.

Making sure that you are adequately hydrated is the most important rule for breakfast. During sleep the body continues to process calories through breathing, turning, etc... The body at rest will continue to work internally. See the link below to learn more about thyroid function. It is important to know if your body is processing (metabolizing) properly. It is a simple blood test often taken along with a cholesterol test. Speak with your physician prior to engaging in any drastic changes to your diet. It can affect your health dramatically.

Answer 6

yes you have to cut down on your carbs, try milk cereal and egg white.

and yes it is absolutely true to give your body some rest for the muscles to regenerate and build lost tissues. evaluate your complete diet and not only breakfast if you want to loose weight. try getting in more protein if you workout....

Answer 7

noodle omlettes are always good and healthy for a good jump start on the day. Carbs i think is what is in pasta, and you need them to give you your boost during your work out, and Yes you should take a break 1 -2 days off is acceptable

Answer 8

Go ahead and eat cereal--just not the super sugary kinds like froot loops or cocoa puffs.

Also, if you want to help your muscles after a workout use Glutamine.

Answer 9

Eat some multi grain bread, orange juice and a half boiled egg for your joints.

Answer 10

never avoid breakfast !! instead of avoiding food , try having a balanced diet and have food in small portions.

The day off is for letting ur muscles grow.
