Breakfast!!

  • I was wondering what is better for breakfast for weight loss high fiber or high protein. thanks
  • My favorite breakfast right now is a single egg on a fiber one english muffin. Yummy and filling until lunch time.
  • Both. Like Calicofox implied.

    I have a bowl of oats with dried apricot and dried fig, washed down with a can of sardines and a can of smoked oysters.
  • What's more important, the sun or the moon?

    Well put.

    It's also a matter of whatever combination works for you. Some people would say "neither" and need a big bowl of carbs in the morning. I don't eat breakfast, but when I do, I know I need to go heavy on the protein. Figure out what works for you and keeps you going longer.
  • Either high-protein or a combination of high-fiber and protein. To reduce an insulin spike, one should eat at least half the grams of protein that are in the carbohydrates. Example: if you are eating 30 grams of carbs, then be sure to eat with at least 15 grams of protein.

    This is really interesting. Until, like yesterday, I used to eat a lot of honey (like 4+ tablespoons) with my salad but never really noticed a weight gain. However, I did eat that honey with A LOT of protein (about 1.5lbs of fish/seafood and an egg).

    I have since given up the honey to try and drop a few more pounds.

    But your note was very interesting.
  • The breakfast things that make me feel the most full are steel cut oats and bacon - whether eaten alone or with other things. I can't figure out how protein affects how sated I feel yet, but fat definitely makes me feel full.

    Carbs usually make me hungrier than I started, but steel cut oats are a clear exception. Last time I ate oats for breakfast I didn't feel hungry until almost 7 hours later. I usually measure out a quarter cup uncooked, then add 4x as much water, although I can't remember if I had a double serving that day. It's been over a week since then.

    Well, good breakfast is most important to stay fit and healthy. For healthy breakfast there are various healthy foods with full of nutrition or fiber just pick anyone according to your diet or preference. If you want low calories food, then you can consult with any nutritional guide they will give proper fitness program.
  • I plan my breakfast in a way that (a) it's filling (b) it's easy to do in my morning rush (c) it helps me manage one of my biggest challenges - needing to eat frequently while at work

    So what I do is take 2 boiled eggs and a smoothie to work. I have just the egg whites and that keeps me going from 8 to 10 am

    The smoothie I sip on through out the morning (it's yogurt, a dash of grapefruit juice, and a banana) - That allows me to last till lunch. The creaminess of the yogurt helps me feel satiated. You could experiment with the smoothie ingredients so that it's low calorie enough to suit your plan
