Posts: 38
Ive been challenged by my co worker who is a fitness guru, to do a "caveman" diet, Bassically cutting out everything proccessed, and sticking with the basics, veggies, fruit, nuts,eggs and lean meat. I am eating basically fruit in the mornings however i need somthing quick and more substancial to get me through my work outs, that last about an hour and a half in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Any sugestions?

I love fruit and nuts. A banana, some blueberries, etc. and some raw almonds or filberts. Yum!0

Oatmeal
Not sure if these 'count' in your diet:
Cream of Wheat
Yoghurt
Why don't you just eat eggs for breakfast if you're including them?0 -
Eggs!!
Eggs keep me going. If I have some oatmeal and an egg or two in the morning i'm good for a long time!0 -
Have you tried green smoothies? They're my favorite for breakfast, and a great way to get in extra veggies, plus they're super easy since you can make them the night before and put them in a travel cup. I usually put chia seeds and honey in mine plus whatever fruit/greens that sound good. The chia seeds and honey really give me an energy boost and keep me full for a long time.0

Eggs and veggies? Side of fruit?0

omelet?? and add some meat into it for extra protein to keep you feeling full.0

Cavemen didn't eat lean meat, they ate the more calorie dense fatty portions.0

I do a scramble that takes no time at all and totally fills me for a good 3-4 hours.
You may adjust the portions depending on your needs, but this is what I do:
Use a bit of PAM spray in the skillet
Mix:
1 egg
1/8 c milk
cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dill and a dash of salt
Once egg is cooked I throw in:
1oz of chopped ham or turkey
1/4 c shredded cheese
It works out to be 225 cal, 19 g of protein and 2 carbs. Not sure if you can have cheese on your diet, but it's a small amount and could be cut out. The other thing I'll do on Sundays is make a 'mini-muffin' tray of omelets for the weekdays when I'm in a hurry.
Tons of great recipes on 'the World According to Eggface' blog.0 -

Egg whites scrambled with spinach and a 1/2 cup of oatmeal in lowfat milk or water with berries to sweeten.0

I eat a couple of eggs every morning with whatever veggies I have on hand and sometimes a bit meat that is leftover from dinner. But there is no rule that you must eat "breakfast-y" first thing in the morning, either. How about leftovers from the night before for breakfast? Or a can of tuna with some olive oil on a bed of lettuce? Or some soup if you like something warm in the morning?0

Eggs. Poached or scrambled. Did cavemen use butter? Oil?0

I make my own "McMuffin":
1) Cook one strip of extra-lean turkey bacon over medium-high heat (about 2 minutes per side)
2) Take 1 large egg white and place it into a small microwavable bowl sprayed with olive oil spray or other non-stick cooking spray (your lookng for one about the same size as the muffin). Microwave 30 seconds. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until it is just set completely.
3) Toast a light mutligrain or whole wheat English muffin (pick one with 8+ g fiber). Split the muffin in half; on the bottom place 1 slice of fat-free American cheese, the egg white and bacon. Top with muffin.
This takes maybe 5 minutes to make. 183 calories, 17 g Protein, 25 g Carbohydrates, 5 g fat (2 g saturated), 8 g fiber0 -
Great ideas, Eggs seem to be the consensus, I am a grab and go kinda girl but i guess waking up ten mins earlier wont hurt. Unfortunatly Oatmeal is out, not in the plan and niether is cheese .0

Hmmm, your posts tend to be of a more smart assed nature rather then helpful btw. It was more to say no gound beef, processed bacon and what not.0 -

I actually eat egg white omelets a lot. I usually make them the night before. Then in the AM I just nuke them to warm them up again. They really do turn out great. I was surprised when I first did it. :happy:0 -
