Describe your best breakfast!

Angelike01

Hi everyone,
I visited many nutritionnists internationally and each one has its point of view of the best breakfast to gain weight. My favorite ones were:
1. Banana-med 8"+100gr musli+2 yogurts/skim milk
2. Two slices of whole-wheat bread+1 egg+honey & olive oil+1 banana
What can be added to these meals? Do you think it's enough? Share your opinions please

First one sounds yum (although if you want to gain weight, why skimmed milk? Whole would add a few more calories without really filling you up any more). Second one upsets me with the combo of honey, egg and olive oil, but I can see that might help you reach your goals.

I like avocado, bacon, eggs and tomatoes on thick sliced toast. With a banana smoothie. I don't need or want to gain weight at the minute but that's what I enjoy after a long run first thing in the morning. It's about 800-900 calories.

Full fat greek yogurt with granola/muesli and fruit can probably turn out quite calorific too. Sometimes I make sausage, egg, spinach and cheese muffins too and they're good.

My breakfast is boring but I love it: Greek yogurt every day. Sometimes I get fancy and make chilaquiles or clafoutis, and then I eat yogurt later. Lack of variety helps me stick to my diet.

Greek yogurt only? Does it help you gain weight?
I just googled chilaquiles, you must be Mexican! If you can eat that in the morning, then I salute you!

Actually, she put plain/skim milk, I had the option to choose where I come from (Morocco), people are used to eat whole wheat bread with honey & olive oil. It's very good for us, brings a lot of energy for the whole day! As for the egg, I fry it with a little bit of olive oil and add salt and cumin. You should try it, it changes the taste completely
I also put eggs with tomatoes and add bell pepper, onions and cheese on sliced toast. Its great with mint tea! One question: do you eat something before exercising?

I might have to try that out of curiosity.

I don't, but I would've made sure to eat a big dinner and probably a snack just before bed the night before so I'm not hungry when I wake. Sometimes I have a glass of juice if I fancy it before heading out.

I love granola, 100g has over 500 calories without the milk.

Do you add yogurt to it? It seems not enough on its own.. Granola is amazing when you make it as a yogurt parfait with granola, fruits, and mapple syrup/honey!

LOL I thought the same thing - "why the hell use skim yogurt if you're going for the full experience?"

Well, I had a BIG breakfast today. I made a nice burger with mince turkey, an egg and vegetables on a bagel.
On its own it doesn't seem too bad...except I was reaching for another bagel right after. That's 500 cal right there.

It'll be a while until I get bagels in the house next, I think...hhahaah

If you add Nutella or almond butter to your yogurt, it does. Otherwise, it's just a high protein, filling breakfast. I eat the full fat kind, but it still isn't especially fattening. It's all in how much you eat. Chilaquiles are breakfast food! Some Mexican climbers made it from leftovers on a trip we were on together.

Will it be too much asked if you tell me the recipe of your homemade yogurt? I always wanted to avoid industrial food which is full of conservatives. Also, what seeds are you adding? Thank you dear!

I pretty much have the same breakfast whether I'm bulking, cutting or maintaining - 2 slices of toast with peanut butter and jam and a coffee with milk. You can eat whatever you want for breakfast (or nothing at all as long as you make it up the rest of the day). It's all about your overall intake being in surplus so whatever helps you get there

pbryd

Two fried eggs with a dash of hot sauce, wrapped in a tortilla.

Eggs, sweet potatoes, butter (easy way to get calories) and any kind of beans.

Sweet potatoes in the oven or do you have your own way of cooking them?

2. Kashi creal with almond milk and a quest bar

Did you make this diet or was it given to you by a doctor? 6 eggs+grease is not too much for you?

Although I would probably leave the tomato.

"Cheng special" 6 egg omellette - one yolk, RGY peppers, onions, tomato, brocolli, cilantro - grilled separately, diced mushrooms with cracked pepper and hot sauce.

There is nothing wrong with this breakfast. If the person is trying to gain, it's a good way to get calories. And if they are active, it's possible they have to bulk at 4000+ calories. So it would be in their best interest to have stuff like that.


Personally, during my cut, I eat a P28 protein bagel with peanut butter. Or, I will eat 2-3 eggs, 4 egg whites, salsa, chopped onions and red/orange/yellow peppers, 1/4-1/2 cut of shredded cheese, with a side of bacon and if I have it, guac on top of my omelet.

I normally have the same breakfast most mornings which consists of;
4 scoops of full fat milk,
3 scoops of oats,
1 scoop of grounded flaxseed, millseed and sunflower seeds,
banana,
tablespoon of jam/jell o
tablespoon of honey.
Tea with full fat milk.

Some mornings I also have 20 grams of turkey slices or a small tin of tuna or turkey sausage.

I'm not trying to gain weight, but this was a pretty amazing breakfast. If I were bulking, I'd double it.
