Suitable breakfast substitute?

[Viper]

Morning ladies.

On a morning I like to sleep for as long as I can and minimise the time spent between getting out if bed and getting in my car.

I've got loads of protein shake from MyProtein lying around somewhere. Would that be a suitable substitute to having breakfast?

I can make it the night before then drink it in the car :cool:

Eugh I don't recommend drinking a shake you made more that 15 minutes ago, never mind the night before!

I'd love an easy tasty breakfast with lots of protein. My problem is I get bored of breakfast too quick! Go from toast to muesli to sugary cereals to porridge to nothing to coffee to scrambled egg lol. I know I need the scrambled egg out of that lot but I can't eat it every day! But I don't feel a shake is enough, I prefer to have proper food in me rather than just a liquid.

Morning tart.

What are you trying to achieve ? Can't really suggest something until I know your goals ?

Hmm, fair point about making it the night before. Didn't think that through.

I'm not doing it for muscle growth or any kind of gain other than sustenance.

I just thought it should fill me up and is nice and quick

Would suggest getting up 10mins earlier so you can prepare something.

2 boiled eggs (you could boild them the night before if you don't mind them cold), wholemeal toast, apple, pint of water

oatmeal porridge with low fat milk, banana, pint of water/fresh orange juice

raisin bran flakes, low fat milk, banana/apple, protein shake, pint of water

fruit salad(can make this the night before) protein shake on the way to work

couple suggestions off the top of my head

[Viper]

Those 10 minutes could be spent in bed though...

The fruit salad option sounds good, without the fruit salad part ;)

Boiled eggs would be fine. Don't think my colleagues would approve though. They make me shit. Lol

[McGuire86]

Just suggesting basic requirements of good proteins carbs and fats. You could just get a Macdonalds drive through breakfast lol.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Course you could take a meal replacement shake that takes about 1minute to make but there's no substitute for real food mate.

Tell me what sort of foods you like and I'll scratch my head abit more

[Viper]

I like meat. Meat on toast is good but I can't eat that in the car :(

Since I as at school I've barley had breakfast!

[McGuire86]

Why can't you eat it in the car? 5mins to eat it before you get in then lol.

Go to the supermarket, get some chicken breasts, turkey breasts, butchers sausages, bacon, eggs, fruit and tortilla wraps and some salad.

Night before grill whatever meat you want for the next day (don't fry) Then do up some wraps which will take about 5mins to eat.

Sausage/bacon and boiled egg. Turkey/chicken and salad. And a piece of fruit along with a pint of water. Job done

[Viper]

Lol i won't eat it in the car because of crumbs!

Wraps are a good idea though!! I can eat those in the car :A:

Wouldnt suggest a liquid breakfast but if thats what you want to do Id get some fine oats in there aswell. You can get shakers that store the powder and water separate so all you need to do is pick up the shaker and mix on the go.

Shakers Ive used like this are:

Smart Shaker (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SmartShake-RED-protein-drink-shaker-smart-shake-/150708381868?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Vitamins_Suppleme nts&hash=item2316eb68ac)

and

Shaker Pro (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Sport-Life-Shaker-Pro-40-Protein-Shaker-Bottle-Always-Fresh-Protein-Shake-/270867878423?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu %3DUCI%252BUA%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D270859188741%252 B270859188741%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D49093600 74152233200)

The last one you only need to twist and shake. That should save you 30seconds :y:

Only problem is fitting the oats and whey protein in. Might be able to squeeze 50g of oats and 30g of why. Personally Id just put a scoop of why in then fill the rest of it up with oats.

smart shaker is mint, ive had loads of those, handy for keeping things in ;)

try get the big one though(harder to find) :y:

[McGuire86]

I've got about 10 shakers now, keep getting them free with mutant mass lol. Latest one I got has a massive ball shape spring loose inside, what is this for ? :S

[blackie_2k5]

mixing

free shakers are generally shit tbh, leak like fuck, have had a few fair ones though

[McGuire86]

all mine have been alright tbh

[b0t13]

lol the spring thing stays inside the shaker, it mixes the powders lol !

ive always used this type and the one with a grill at the top and both work fine, and do the job, no need for fancy shakers really

and viper stop being a lazy cunt! pop tarts are the best thing ever if you just want something easy to chomp on that taste nice :D

[e8_pqck]

just put scoop of oats and scoop of protein in shaker dry. Then in morning, add milk/water and shake as you're walking out the door. JD!

Go to bed 20 minutes earlier so you have time in the morning. If you cant be arsed to get up to make breakfast then you will always be a skinny fat cunt. Stop looking for shortcuts and get on with it!

Interesting that he could make a judgement like that without knowing me. Lol
