How many calories in your breakfast?

Probably a good thing to have a big meal after the workout. I would be starving all day if I did a morning workout without eating a bunch. Eating like this in the morning probably doesn't make much of a difference in overall nutrition. Everything balances out. You'll just end up eating less later on in the day. Really, more people should eat like this. Most people eat almost nothing until dinner and then snack all evening. Better to have a few real meals through the day instead of getting all of your calories after 5pm.

Personally, I'm not much of a big breakfast guy. I love breakfast food, but I don't get hungry until I've been awake for a while. I'll usually just have a bagel or some sort of pastry. On weekends when I get to eat a bit later, I'll have an omelet and home fries or something like that.

My typical breakfast lately has only been about 650 cal of oatmeal, plus however many cal of brown sugar. But once a friend of mine mistook how much dry oatmeal to make with how much prepared oatmeal I eat, and as a result I think I ate about 3000 cal of oatmeal. That was the only time I recall skipping lunch.

You need a good breakfast... it's the most vital meal of the day. Personally, I generally have three strips or patties of either turkey bacon or turkey sausage and a bowl of some non-gluten hot cereal, always with berries and sometimes milled flaxseed. Occasionally eggs with veggies or a tofu scramble with turmeric (an excellent spice). A cup or two of joe as well, organic and black.

I eat almost the exact same thing every morning. Maybe ill mix up different fruits and sub eggs with yogurt, but for the most part its the same. And I eat at the exact same time every day. 6am-7am, no earlier no later no matter the day. Consistancy keeps me at a steady weight and feeling better.

I have

1/2 cup oatmeal

honey

fruit (banana and strawberries this morning)

1/2 cup egg whites mixed with onion and mushrooms

nuts mixed into oatmeal

That totals around 400-500 depending on how much fruit/nuts I eat.

I also don't understand how people dont eat alot before they run. I get up at 6am to eat because we have practive at 8am every morning, and if I dont get in around 300-400 cals before a hard track workout, I get way too fatigued by the end. Girls on my team who just eat a bar or banana always piddle out by the end and my coach is always asking them "did you eat breakfast?" EAT WELL, ENOUGH, AND CONSISTANLY AND YOUR WORKOUTS WILL IMPROVE DRASTICALLY PEOPLE!

according to that, 400

How many calories are in a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, 2 hashbrowns and a large OJ (and a few handfuls of jelly beans)? I'm guessing around 1500?

1 banana

1 slice of toast

1 cup of coffee with milk and sweetner

damn... a pound of fat free cottage cheese sounds like a freakin lot

its a healthy breakfast, quality protein, can't go wrong with oatmeal, cottage cheese is good for you with the calcium and protein.

better to eat a big breakfast, especially post workout rather than starve yourself only to binge eat on junk right before bed.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, seems like you're eating healthy.

It's really only 2 cups of cottage cheese, which isn't all that much. I probably have about 1.5-2 cups of dry (prepared) oatmeal as well, which really is probably heavier.

One banana and one orange, Monday through Friday.

I believe the importance of breakfast is overrated, it should be proportional to your calories burned. If I ran in the mornings, then I would eat a lot more.

I usually have a couple bowls of a healthy-ish cereal with skim milk (lots), a glass of OJ or fruit juice, and sometimes a piece of toast with jelly.

Cereal = ~400

Milk = ~150

Juice = ~120

Toast = ~150

Total: ~800 kcal.

Sometimes I'll have a bagel and less cereal, or oatmeal instead of cereal, but the aforementioned is the standard.

I generally only run in the morning a few days a week (3-4mi morning shakeout for doubles), workouts are in the evening. I do have a heartier breakfast/brunch after Sunday long runs.

1 bowl of cereal(1 1/2 - 2cups)

about a cup of skim milk

1 scoop of peanut butter

2 cups of oatmeal

1 cup of yogurt

an orange while I'm walking out the door

so somewhere above 800 calories?

if I run in the morning it's the above + a cup of chocolate milk before I jump in the shower and possibly a granola bar with the orange

It's zero. Your thousand calorie breakfast is about my daily total. I carry about 30% body fat. See what old age does to you.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's a LOT more than 800 calories

1 bowl of cereal(1 1/2 - 2cups)= 200 calories about

about a cup of skim milk= 100 calories ish

1 scoop of peanut butter= 100 calories

2 cups of oatmeal= 600 claories

1 cup of yogurt= 150 calories (if its non-fat)

an orange while I'm walking out the door= 80ish calories

You're in the 1100-1200 claorie range buddy.

how many calories are in pieces of shit?

I don't see how people can run in the morning, especially race, without eating something, but I guess everyone's different. I used to never eat breakfast, but that was before I ran and didn't need as much energy. The amount of food you eat is going to depend on how much mileage you run, but you may want to space out your calories. Like eat something small before your run and maybe you won't eat 1,000 calories in one sitting when you get back. I'm not saying you have to do this, but you could try it if you don't like how you're feeling with the way you currently eat. But everyone has different metabolisms, so do what works for you.

My #1 breakfast requirement is coffee. If I am running in the morning, I drink coffee 1-2 hours before I run. And I'll eat something light (100-200 calories) like a packet of oatmeal or a piece of toast with jelly. If there's enough time before I run, I'll eat a banana too. It just depends on how full I feel, or want to feel. A little while after I get back, I'll eat something else like yogurt. If I'm back from a long run, I'll eat a bigger breakfast like pancakes or French toast and a couple of scrambled eggs, but sometimes that pretty much covers lunch too because I'll be so full.

Usually I just run in the afternoon or evening these days, so a typical breakfast for me is a bowl of Kashi cereal, low-fat milk, banana and coffee. So about 400-500 calories. I like to eat small meals and snack lightly throughout the day. This keeps my energy up and doesn't get me so hungry that I overeat in one sitting. This way I hardly ever feel stuffed or sick. I feel like I could go for a run at pretty much any point in the day.

mine is about 200 or 0 depending on how i'm feeling

I usually have between a 1 and 1 1/4th cup of oatmeal(350), a cup of 1% milk(110), 2 tbsp of natural peanut butter(200), and a bunch of random fruit I am in the mood for. (200)

so around 700-800 depending on the day
