Breakfast

[Jay76]

How important is eating Breakfast? heard mixed reviews. What are your thoughts?

I eat big scoop - way overflowing tablespoon -of peanut butter. I think it's good to avoid the discipline sapping hungries 2 hours later if you just skip it.

Bill,

For the upcoming CST Seminar, which is most grueling, would you eat the same? I guess you would, this is a stupid question. I am no longer concerned with losing BW. I weigh 99 kgs. I am concerned with adding muscle, but not sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. What are the "guidleines' to follow?

Chris,

Not a stupid question at all. For the philly comp I ate exactly what I eat every day. scoop of PB at 6 am. At 8 on my way to meet the PKC guys I got my venti dcaf mocha w/ heavy cream and sipped it over the next couple hours. It was still only 2 sets, so no reason to adjust.

But, your going to be doing alot of volume. If your on a fat adapted diet it won't matter much, you always have plenty of fuel. If your not, you probably should adjust. I would advice having some kind of big protein drink - with some carbs if that's your diet, that you can sip throughout. That will keep you steadier without the negatives of trying to load up at breakfast.

Regardless of weight issues, the fat adapted diet allows you to adapt to different workloads, training times etc...since your not working out of a pool of glucose as your blood sugar drops. At this point though I wouldn't eat anything your not used to.

I agree with Bill. I experimented with adjusting fuel around workouts, but found it was way easier just to have steady fuel and then I could do whatever, whenever for the exercise part. If I know a hard session is coming up I eat a little more beforehand.

so steady fuel for me is regular meals, breakfast too.
