Shredded Wheat - What's your opinion?

AYung · 01-14-2006, 09:06 PM

What do you guys think of Shredded Wheat? I have been eating it for a while for my first meal. I am currently bulking also. And do you think it could replace oats?

I like shredded wheat, the fibre is good and low in fat i believe

The only problem is it's very low in protein. If you like a cereal in the morning try Go Lean by Kashi. It's one of the best I've found.

That cereal looks great. But right now I only have shredded wheat as a cereal option. I always take the shredded wheat with skim milk though, just to ensure adequate protien and add on a complete amino acid profile.

Meal 1 is when I eat shredded wheat, and the meal is like this:
-30g Dyamatize Elite Whey
-90g Shredded Wheat
-500ml Skim Milk
-2 cups Green Tea

Should be fine then. I try to get most of my protein from food sources but you do what you have to.

I eat Total Protein, if I want to eat cereal in the morning :bigthumbu

AYung · 01-14-2006, 09:56 PM

When I run out of SW, i'll try to look for those cereals at the supermarket.

That one isn't available in Canada.

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 01-14-2006, 10:02 PM

Sorry to hear.... Total protein is okay, but I feel like a chipmunk eating it it kinda takes a long time to chew. Other then that its pretty good.

AYung · 01-14-2006, 10:07 PM

It isn't available? Damn.

Where do you buy your Kashi DF?

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 01-14-2006, 10:34 PM

My mom used to eat that stuff AYung, she'd just pick it up at a grocery store. I'm sure most every grocery store has it.

AYung · 01-14-2006, 10:34 PM

Oh, alright. Thanks.

What kind of protein is in there? A lot of cereals that advertise more protein have soy as the main protein source.

You can bet it's Soy. I don't know how you would make Whey flakes?

Soy isn't as evil for bb's as it's made out to be.

I've heard that soy can increase estrogen levels.

I know several competitors who eat plain shredded wheat bisquits either at breakfast, or during the day as a complex carb source, even during contest prep. ( make sure you don't get the Frosted kind )

Shredded wheat bisquits are easy to trasport and quick to eat which makes them easy to fit into any plan. ( Although, they are a bit dry )

I like them during bulking periods with skim milk and splenda.

As DF said, shredded wheat isn't high in protein, but I actually prefer my foods to be as simple as possible.

In other words.. it's just fine with me if one food is high in complex carbs but low in fat and protein..... sweet potatoes, rice, etc.. And one food is high in protein, but low in fat and carbs.... chicken, egg whites, etc...

You just need to include a protein source too.

Shredded wheat and good high protein shake would be a good bodybuilding meal alomst any time of the day!
