36g of banana and nut oatmel enough for breakfast?

NarwhalofNight

Alright so I plan on eating a pouch of 36g instant oatmeal with banana and nut, it's from quaker and only 140 calories. Now I was thinking should I add an egg? Or is this enough?

I think it kinda depends on what else you are going to eat that day but if you're looking for fuel before you work out, I heard you have to have protein too as well as fruit. I would not expect that the dried banana in the mix is real good, fresh is probably a better bet.

well, some people skip breakfast altogether. So do whatever works. Even for working out might be enough for a short (<1 h session) if you're properly fuelled from the previous night.

I would definitely add two eggs. And I would go with old fashioned or steel cut oats.

140 calorie breakfast is sad breakfast.

Would you be hungry after? If yes, eat more. If no, have it for lunch.
listen to your body!

Everyone's different. I just ate a Quest bar, yogurt, and a breakfast burrito, adding up to about 520 calories. Most days I'm more in the 400-450 calorie range, some I'm over. Everyone handles eating in the morning their own way, including not at all.

I'd add an egg; when I used to have only oatmeal for breakfast, my stomach would rumble after a couple of hours. Now, I have about 50g of oatmeal with greek yogurt (for protein). So, I'd say yes to an egg if you're not going to eat for over 2 hrs.

My breakfasts are usually about 250-300 calories.

enough for what? what are you trying to accomplish?

If your hungry after - eat more. If not...its OK.

You don't have to eat breakfast to lose weight.

don't eat breakfast, eat a small breakfast, eat a huge breakfast; as long as it fits into your calorie goal and makes you happy there is no "right or wrong"

It's enough if you're not hungry until lunch. There's no rule that's 100% true for everyone. I would advise trying it out and if you get hungry before lunch then maybe have some protein, like a greek yogurt or a boiled egg. For some people the oatmeal might be enough, but for me I know I would get way hungry before dinner time. My best advice would be to try it and see.
