Any interest in a fitness forum on here?

But ya, you need a ton of protein and low glycemic carbs, and healthy fats(omega 3, 6, and 9) to keep the body properly primed. And for a firefighter, you want the correct macro and micro nutrients.

Theres more to fitness than the body, the mind has to function properly too. breakfast really is the most important part of your day, and consistently eating a healthy breakfast will promote fat loss (because I hate the term `weight loss`).

Breakfast should be your biggest meal.

Agreed. How does the saying go, for breakfast eat like a king, for lunch, eat like a prince and for dinner, eat like a servant... Something like that.

Ya, except you should eat 6 times a day, not 3.

Mix it up, cook, flip, cook, add low fat cheese, fold over top, allow it time to melt/cook, remove from pan, add salsa as desired. Two whole grain toast to top it off, with whatever you normally drink in the morning (except pop, which I know you dont drink at all)

Healthy, nutritious, and filling.

I just had that for breakfast. I will see how this works out for me. Any other ideas would be great as well.

Thanks

I dont know if it will help any but it might help with ideas for food but Mypyramidplan.gov is a good tool for meal planning and such.

Egg beaters are a convenient way to get egg whites, but you don't get any yolk, it's just dyed yellow to make you think there's yolk in it.

I have a banana for breakfast. Sometimes 2.

Fried ham (in Pam) is always good, AAgain with toast. oatmeal is the best carb source you can get. Mix it with blueberries or whatever fruit you like.

Most of the firefighters around here prefer cocaine for those tough days

I like Pappetti whites or Egg Beaters "just whites".

I think the yellow fake yolk stuff is gross tasting and textured.
