DrTri Weekly Health & Fitness HomeWork - Feb 1, 2009

The most important meal of the day..... Part 2

Everyday this week eat breakfast that would make Grandma, Nutritionists, & Exercise Physiologists proud!

Here’s what to eat:

1/4 of your body weight (kg) in grams of protein
2/3 of your body weight (kg) in grams of carbohydrates
5-10 g of good fat.

Here’s the details (and example):

For DrTri ~ 200lb (91kg)
~22 g Protein
~61 g Carbohydrates
~10 g Fat

This would be
3 or 4 eggs
1 – 1 1/4 cup Oatmeal
1 Tbsp Cod Liver Oil

OR

Whey Protein
Oatmeal
Berries
Cod Liver Oil

You get the idea.....

This is a hearty meal that many people are not used to. It may feel like tooooooo much food to eat, so just make it and then take it along with you if you can’t eat it all right there in your morning breakfast 14 minute window...
Only rule is that you have to eat it within 2 hours (max) after waking...
If you workout first thing in the morning this would be perfect (it does for me). You make oatmeal with berries, cod liver oil, and whey protein, and put it into a container to eat after your morning workout... Not as warm but still warm enough to satisfy your stomach and body!!!

SO if you are already getting up 14 minutes early (or are recently practiced at this endeavor) then this should not be a problem.
14 minutes gives you more than enough time to make this breakfast.

Also, that is not ALL you can eat. I also eat (drink) coffee, rice milk, etc. etc.


Have a great week!
