Breakfast Shakes?

Ty! Yes, I am female, I think I will just stick with regular skim milk
in it, after it's cooked.

I guess the attraction to instant oatmeal is it's "just add water"
properties. I've never had it.

Thanks for your help!

Tomorrow's breakfast: 1/3 C. oatmeal (dry measure), 1 boiled egg, 1/2
banana + coffee. Sound a lot better then cheerios? 🙂

OK, but you should not exclude essential fatty acids...flaxseed oil,
fish oil, borage oil, etcetera...from your breakfast shake.

that is going to give me a good protein and fibre boost.

It's best to supplement fiber seperately, by a few hours, from
nutrient intakes, especially fat soluble nutrients, to avoid the
binding of the nutrients by the fiber.

Is soy milk sufficiently high enough in protein for me to avoid using
whey protein? I haven't used the protein powders before, but if
that's the best thing to put in a shake then I could try it.

Whey should be consumed, not only as a protein source, but for other
health-promoting reasons.

My breakfast shake:
20 ounces water
scoop or two of chocolate whey protein
tablespoon chocolate drink powder (shut up! I like chocolate)
tablespoon greens powder
tablespoon flaxseed oil
teaspoon fish oil
a few grams creatine
handful frozen mixed berries

You need all the chocolate to cover up the [censored] taste of the fish oil!

Why don't you use skim milk rather than water?

Or yogurt?

And much better to get the fish oil in tablets where you don't have to
deal with the taste, or the mouth feel. I was putting flax oil in mine
for a while, but it's just too slimey.

Altho a fan of old fashioned oatmeal, I must say there is no comparison
between plain Cheerios and LuckyCharms/Frosted Flakes other than they
are all called breakfast cereals. The first ingredient on the label for
Cheerios is 'whole grain oats'. For a cup of cereal at 110 calories you
get 4 grams protein/22 grams carbs of which only 1 gram is sugar, and 3
grams are fiber! (btw 1/2 cup of Quaker oatmeal has 4 grams fiber)Also
altho there are 2grams fat, there are zero transfats(which are in alot
of breakfast cereals) Stick with the basic Cheerios, not the flavored
ones, and there is no reason not to eat these.

Shredded wheat is still better. 1 cup is 6 grams of fiber.
Shredded wheat and bran: 7.9 grams of fiber.

Hay is better still. 1 cup hay = 1 cup fiber.

Enjoy.

I buy the fish oil gel caps at Costco.

But maybe David has cravings for the taste of fish in his shakes. I'd say
that means he's deficient elsewhere in his diet. hmmmm......what ever could
that be??

A bowl of oatmeal (real oatmeal) and a whey protein drink with some
flaxseed oil in it is a great breakfeast for those who are time
challenged and want something simple. I've been eating this
breakfeast for a long time now, even during periods of time when I
wasn't able to train. No other breakfeast compares for me. My blood
sugar is nice and stable after the meal and I don't get cravings for
lunch until it is actually time for it. In addition, the whole
breakfeast takes five minutes to make. You can cool off the oatmeal
really quick by throwing some frozen blueberries in it and get some
antioxidants to boot.

On another note, ditch the Cheerios, like right now, as in go into
your kitchen and throw the box in the garbage. Sure, they are low in
"sugar" but the carbs are so refined and the fiber so low, you might
as well eat lucky charms or frosted flakes instead. At least they
taste really good. Almost all of those breakfeast cereals are pure
trash unless you are carbing up after being on a ketogenic diet.

I like oatmeal. But it's so hard to cook. You have to keep your eye on it
all the time when you cook it.

Soy, especially "refined" products like Tofu are bad for human males.
They promote the strong generation of estrogens, severely lower
testosterone, and basically cause sperm to self destruct.

Sounds like urban myths right? Well, I checked MedLine and there are
several rather conclusive extracts which demonstrate a HUGELY strong
correlation. How strong is HUGELY strong? If you drop a few objects
after hearing people mention that gravity theory, you can get a good
grip on gravity being a factor in the "falling"... this is about the
same level as that gravity thing.

Look at the Nagata C, Takatsuka N, Shimizu H, Hayashi H, Akamatsu T,
Murase K study (if ya couldn't tell, they're all Japanese names, and
it's a Japanese study, published in English), or the recent stufy by
Professor Lynn Fraser of King's College London (in England, if there
was any mystery).

Soy is the equivilant of taking weak birth-control pills all month long
(remember birth-control pills are 20+ placebos and maybe 2-7 actual
strong estrogen pills). As such, it's not suggested.

A LOT of people are reading saying "That certainly explains a LOT about
Japanese (or other oriental) men"... And theories now abound about
height, facial-hair and other secondary sex-characteristics, behaviour,
etc...

I use the steel-cut Irish oatmeal (McCain's is the all-time best brand,
in the metal can) and it does involve practically standing by the stove
for the full half hour stirring the stuff. But the payoff is worth it.
To maximize the bang for the buck, do it only once a week; make enough
for 7 breakfasts. Stick them all in rubbermaid or gladware in the
fridge and reheat in the micro, adding frozen or dried fruit to each
portion, and perhaps a little water to fix the consistency.
