Breakfast question

OmgSexy · 09-16-2005, 07:28 PM

Help! I heard that it is bad to eat eggs every day (whole eggs), and I have run out of ideas on what to eat as my protein for breakfast...
I am thinking about doing the 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites, but egg whites aren't as satisfying and I don't want to increase carbs to make up for that.
The only other thing I can think of is cottage cheese and I try not to have protein shakes in place of real food.
What do you guys eat for breakfast EVERY day?

chlaxman · 09-16-2005, 07:33 PM

I have about 6 egg whites and 1 yolk, with some skim milk, and either oats or non-fat plain yogurt w/ fresh fruit mixed in.

You need more protein than 3 eggs for breakfast. I am working on getting more protein in my breakfast and will probably have a protein shake with breakfast even though I hate shakes in the morning.

Wow are you serious? 3 eggs isn't enough! EEEp that's what I have been doing these past few months LoL!

I don't feel full very long with shakes so I try to stay away from them.
Maybe I should make a fruit shake with protein in it?

What about bacon, how often do you guys eat that (if at all)?

chlaxman · 09-16-2005, 07:42 PM

I never eat bacon, but I've heard of some types of bacon being healthy, although most of them are pretty bad to eat. 3 eggs is only about 12-15g of protein, which is not enough for breakfast IMO. If you like meat, some people can have a little chicken or turkey in the morning, which would be better than bacon. Otherwise, I would look into making that fruit shake with some added protein.

Oh and BTW, having one whole egg every morning is good for you and not bad at all.

OmgSexy · 09-16-2005, 07:47 PM

Ya I don't think I can handle meat in the morning...
So protein shake is the best option.

Thanks for the input!

The bad part of the egg is the yolk as far as cholesterol, but one whole egg/day is alright.

I have them every day, just make scrambled eggs out of them with 7 egg whites and 1 yolk. I start with a little olive oil on the bottom and add spices, parsley, hot pepper, onion, sometimes a little cheese and that tastes good.

:eat:

The thing is .... if you eat whole eggs and have oatmeal a few times a day (1/2 cup per serving) doesn't the oatmeal lower cholesterol or does it not work like that ?
And I never use butter to make eggs (thank god for non stick pans).

Ihateeveryone · 09-17-2005, 11:26 AM

1 cup of oats with a cup of low fat milk, and 6 egg whites does me.

**NYCmitch25** · 09-17-2005, 01:18 PM

drink the shakes if you want... drop a 1/2 cup of oats, ice, and skim milk (whole foods).

lean beef?
chicken
ground beef
turkey sausage

Tuna, Salmon etc.
eat anything lean....

fupbro · 09-19-2005, 03:16 PM

I like cottage cheese as much as the next guy, but for some reason I can't image eating it for breakfast. Typical breakfast for me is:

1-2 whole eggs
4-6 egg whites
oatmeal (3/4 cup steel cut or 1 cup rolled, depending on my mood)
and just the right amount of this

I've been eating a variation of that for the last 2 years and haven't really gotten tired of it yet. If I could, I'd have steak and eggs every breakfast.

Sometimes I just say "screw it" and eat 3 peanut butter sandwiches. Mmmm...

OmgSexy · 09-20-2005, 04:28 AM

Yum Peanut Butter *licks lips*

I have 3 eggs everyday and my blood work is perfect. Dietary cholesterol only has a relatively small effect on your blood cholesterol compared to genetic factors. If you dont have high cholesterol now, or dont have a family tree that is riddled w/ high chol, then having 3 eggs instead of 2 every day shouldnt affect you that much.

I was at 6 whole and 2 whites for a while too.

This is comforting... Cuz I don't want to give up my yolks!

**powerman2000** · 09-21-2005, 03:31 AM

I eat 1 1/4 cups of oatmeal and a protein shake every day for breakfast. I wait for second breakfasts to eat my eggs, which I also do every single day. The protein drink is a better choice imo since it will digest faster and since we all just come off of a mini fast which leaves us in a somewhat catabolic state, the quicker we get those amino acids into the bloodstream the better.

pating420 · 09-21-2005, 09:10 AM

I have 1 scoop whey + low fat milk for protein every morning. You could try that, it gives me a good amount of protein. I have it with 1 cup of old fash oats.

Yep I have decided to move my eggs to second meal of the day, and I have a protein shake with 1/2 cup of oats, 1 scope of whey protein, 1-2 TBsp pb, 4 frozen strawberries(or a banana), and 1 cup of either non fat milk or yogurt.

I never knew how good protein shakes can actually taste until I made this post!
thanks guys! (I always thought they were kinda boring)

**BigZeke** · 09-24-2005, 01:00 AM

I buy egg white beaters. One carton = 8 egg whites. I eat them all the time, breakfast, lunch, dinner. I usually will put in one or two whole eggs. I hear the yolk actually has a lot of protein (and fat). I just try and limit my yolk consumption because I think my dad his high cholesterol or something.

That's true that unfortunately a good amount of the protein ends up in the yolk.

Egg yolk: http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-001-02s0035.html

Egg white: http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-001-02s0034.html

The egg beaters are more convenient but I can get 18 large eggs for about $1.40 so it's cheaper for me to buy the eggs.

LuxuryChic · 09-27-2005, 05:46 PM

i have oats, and 1 whole egg and 2 whites usually, but i think i'm going to switch to something like:
Skim milk, 1/2c CC w/ fruit, and 1/2tbsp PB (more convient time wise)

OmgSexy · 09-29-2005, 03:30 AM

Yum PB is so awesome!
