I am working out now (cardio, and weights), so I want to know what is a good healthy breakfast that \n1) Will fill me up/cure the hunger\n2) Will give me the energy I need\n3) Is overall GOOD FOR ME (ie non fattening, etc.)\n\nI'm thinking something like a couple of fried eggs, some fruit, and some orange juice? Maybe some toast too? HELP!\n\nThanks!

Carbs tend to fill you up fast and provide the extra energy. Since it's breakfast it should be your biggest meal and most filling. Normally I have 6 egg white and one yolk,  2 slices of deli turkey breast, 1 glass of OJ or fruit smoothie and some porridge or oatmeal. \n\nIt depends on your daily caloric needs. \n\nYou should have 5 meals a day - a big breakast, a healthy snack (protein bar or shake), a smaller lunch,  a snack and a small dinner at least 3 hours before bedtime. If you get hungry have a tall glass of ice cold water - it surpresses your appetite.\n\nTake a look at this site. There are caloric calculators and stories on different people and their nutrition routine. There're stories from professional bodybuilders as well - some of them eat 18 egg white in the morning with raw broccoli. \n\nIf you're gonna work out eat a heavier breakfast than on the days you're not working out...\n\nwww.bodybuilding.com\n\nP>S read the food lables for calorie info and carb abd fat info and remember the daily value if for the average joe. A bodybuilder's daily value of calories would be greater than that base on food labels.\n\nHere's a sample of my weekly diet regime:\n\nSunday \nSunday is my favorite day because I get to cheat a little from my daily diet, but I try not to over do it!\n\n-----\n\nMonday\nMeal #1 Egg white Scramble with chopped green onions and mushrooms.

I used to have a morning croissant breakfast sandwich from Carl's Jr at least 3 mornings a week. Then I looked up the information on it-580 calories and 69% fat. I stopped eating them, changed my diet, started exercising, drink water instead of soda, and have lost 28 lbs! No, no one forces the food down our throats, but they do make it look tasty and convenient. It's not their fault, though. It's our fault for falling for the marketing. It works.

you may need more vitamins, my suggestion, when you wake up in the morning, is to make yourself a milkshke, of Carnation Instant Breakfast, a banana, milk, and a scoop of Ice cream, a great way to start the morning, and gives you lots of energy, also, since you live in a hot climate, drink gatorade, instead of water, the gatorade, will help maintain, the chemichals, and nutrients, etc, that your body needs, because you lose a lot of these through prespiration, also wear cool clothing, something light, and not dark.

Fruit is good to eat after a workout.  I'd suggest drinking water instead of juice.  I also like a half a peanut butter sandwich sometimes.

Sounds good to me but if you want to change: Start eating cooked egg whites at breakfast. It will fill you up and eventually you won't feel like eating. Then exercise 30 minutes a day. Before you know it you'll be at a good weight and be able to keep it if you keep it up. Good luck.

first of all i need more info on your workout habits. in my humble opinion protien drinks are not needed. a healthy diet is manditory. chicken breast and rice works well for me, and eat enough veg to move it through your body.

my parents are both health fanatics. i, unfortunately, am not. However,  for a play i was in i needed to lose about 10 lbs to fit into the costume i was supposed to wear. I'm the type of person who hates going to the gym.. and loves chocolate.  I found myself in the same situation as you.. needing to lose the weight fast. So my parents suggested a reward program for me.. that would have negitive consequences if i didnt stick to it.  I ate about 5 SMALL meals at the same time each day, with half an hour of elliptical 3 days a week. I drank about 10- 12 glasses of water a day, and stayed away from foods high in sodium so that i would lose water weight.  I ate oatmeal as a breakfast with a chocolate flavored protein in it, which made it taste so amazing, i couldnt believe what i was eating was healthy!  I bought a dress that was too tight for me and threw away the tags as motivation.  It was different, and honestly annoying at first.. but after about the second week, i got into the habit and my body got use to doing exercise and eating semi-healthy foods and drinking lots of water. I have stayed in this lifestyle for about 4 months now, and i honestly couldnt be happier. I have energy and motivation in my life, not to mention how hot i look in that dress i bought!! I didnt think i could do it.. and it never worked before... but you can do it TOO!!  If you need motivation.. I believe in you. YOU can make it happen.

The answer is in your question. No heavy meal right before the workout! Try some fruit and an energy bar or some good(not sugar) cereal. Reboost w/some grub after your shower and you're good to go. I eat six small meals through the day to keep the metabolism pumping w/out overloading.

I've read a few articles about this before in Shape magazine.  Eggs are high in protein and will help you stay full longer.  Add yogurt and fruit to the meal or a piece of whole grain toast with peanut butter.\n\nAlso eating complex carbs like a bran or whole grain cereal or oatmeal...but make sure when you read the label on something that claims to be "whole grain" that the first ingredients are actually whole grains.  FDA only regulates that whole grain must be in the product to advertise it even if there is only a small amount.

My favorite bedtime snack are the Quacker chocolate chip Quakes. They are good for you and satisfy a sweet tooth. Just don't eat the whole bag like my husband does. I wouldn't really recomend fruit because of the sugars, but veggies are great especially for fiber. Hope your diet goes well....

I usually try to mix up what I eat for breakfast-I found that the combination of protein & fiber keep me fullest longest. I usually eat some combo of cottage cheese & fruit, yogurt, toast, eggs, canadian bacon, & french toast made with butter spray & topped with sweet fruit of some kind. If you eat the fruits with the higher fiber content, you'll stay a lot fuller a lot longer, & dairy helped me lose the last 10 pounds to my ideal weight.

Hmmm...they all seem healthy but if you must choose Id go with the Cheerios/fruit. U get the calcium from the milk in addition to the health benefits of the fruit & Cheerios. The eggs provide protein but are high in cholesterol. (One egg contains 70% of your daily cholesterol intake). I also eat turkey bacon to add some meat to my breakfast. Only 35 calories per slice & not high in fat (55% less fat than pork bacon). Fresh fruit is also a favorite of mine

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

usually excercising gives you energy. like im at school all day, and then i come home feeling really tired like i wanna pass out and sleep, but i go and exercise and i always find energy that i thought i didn't have. maybe eating a banana before your workout will help. Or take a little hour nap before you workout, it gives you a lot of energy and won't hurt your bedtime because after working out you've lost all the energy you gained with the nap. good luck.

I have a big cup of coffee ...a shower then start picking up around the house..once you start to more you get the blood flowing with more oxygen...so you are less tired..\nsome eat a big breakfast..which to me isn't really wise..as when you fast you should start off with a small amount and have something later on ...protient  and fruit are  the most important part of a good diet..\ncarbs give you a quick boost,but you end up having a sugar low within a couple hours..that can cause you to get sluggish.
