I'm always a lazy ass in the morning, and a lot of times i have class earlier in the day as well. Is it okay if i eat some wheat toast and have a shake in the morning then my following meal make some eggs and such? I'm a newbie so I apologize if it's a dumb question, just trying to learn the ropes haha. Thanks everyone, hope the training is going well!

The toast and whey is OK, but I wouldnt do it all the time.
I make my pro pancakes every night and heat them up in the morning. This way there is no chance I will have to scrounge for something if I am short on time.
I know alot of people do oats + a whey shake. I do this sometimes.

Thanks for the response. I don't eat toast all the time, like you said a lot of times i'll eat oats or grits ... now my following meal should i throw the eggs in there? and just continue and eat like tuna with greens and a potatoe or some chicken etc?

It totally depends on your overall goals, what you are doing that day, and your overall daily nutrition.
What you eat when is all about the "big picture".

Eggs are a good protein source to have at anytime of day. Its funny how we only consider them as a breakfast food! A typical low carb breakfast for me would be.... 6 egg whites 4-6 oz. lean meat one half grapefruit or one serving oats if I'm not on low carbs.

For me, there is no better way to start the morning than a can of tuna. Honest. Brain food some people call it. Healthy, fatty acids, all protein and a pretty good dose of it too, compared to eggs. Do I think the protein in eggs are better? Sure, but I can eat those later in the day when I have time to cook them. Can of tuna you just pop open, pour some steak sauce on it, or hot sauce (pick your poison) and eat. If you want some carbs, then the toast is fine, or oatmeal. Since I am a lower carb dieter, I just have the tuna and a link sausage or some bacon. All washed down with crystal light, and all can be made in less than a minute without any preparation. Usually, these days though, I'm up at 4am or earlier, and I need to be out of the house ASAP, so I just make a shake and drink it on my 15min drive to work.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I really appreciate the help.
Youngblood- that doesn't sound too bad to me. I can choke down that tuna anytime of the day, why not in the morning as well? Get some good protein in me, mix it with my grits - i think im going to start doing that. Thanks a lot!
Hope everyone's training is going well, take care everyone.

You could also try adding some egg whites and sweet potato to the tuna and fry it in a little olive oil-thats a nice filling breakfast!

Beckie, he said he wanted something fast. And when he spoke of that, he didn't mean for it to come back up out of his mouth faster than it went it!!! #pukeb9vn#

Well I personally wouldn't put tuna anywhere near my mouth for fear of that happening but I do it with salmon and it only takes a few mins..and as for an egg white omelette #pukeb9vn#

You also have my benediction ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Seriously, it's fine! You have some protein and a complex carbs source which is what you need! For sure, if you tell me you are in a pre-contest mode, I wouldnt suggest you the toasts as you carbs source, but for a regular clean diet, it'smore than correct! Mo
