JasenGuy - 2012-05-25 9:57 AM Geez, what's the point of all this exercise if all you're going to eat is dry oatmeal and peanut butter? I'm about to kill a bagel, egg, sausage and cheese sandwich with a a side of hash browns and some bacon. Wash it down with a double shot of espresso and maybe some chocolate milk...Then maybe I'll think about what I want for breakfast.

I very much enjoy the food I eat. I don't look at food as a reward, during the week it's a tool. But I also enjoy every bit of my healthy choices and on occassion have an indulgence for fun. You can't always assume people who choose to eat helathy are denying themselvbes happiness, quit the contrary in my case.

 

LOL!! Yeah, my comment was mostly said in jest...I have a pretty clean diet as well. People always wonder how I can go my whole life "dieting", but like you, I enjoy eating healthy. And if done right, eating healthy taste much better than the alternative.

With that being said, it's the Friday before a holiday weekend and I'm celebrating...Bring on the bacon!!! 

..and beer!!!!

Might I recommend Blue Moon's  Summer Honey Wheat  beer?   Discovered it a week ago and can only say, "Oh, my."   

First meal of the day is always one of two things:

1. plain oatmeal (with water and almond milk, unsweetened) and a banana, or..

2. low-sugar organic O's cereal with banana slices and honey and almond milk.

I never eat before a regular morning workout (3-6 miles run or bike trainer).  I usually wait 30-45 minutes to eat breakfast after the workout with the thought of burning what is already there as opposed to adding something new to burn.

Breakfast today - two hard boiled eggs and 1/2 grapefruit & a few blueberries.  Monday it was a leftover salmon steak and a few blueberries.  Sometimes its Kashi, skim milk, and a few blueberries,strawberries, or banana slices.  Sometimes its a toasted PB & banana sandwich

I used to be able to workout before eating...I still can, I just run out of fuel so I cant go as far or as hard. I started eating before workouts to fuel the increasing volume. My metabolism just might be higher than anyone elses on the planet!

I basically try to eat as much as possible every single day.

This thread is making me hungry...

Pretty much the same thing every morning:

-- 1.5 cup(s) of low fat greek yogurt

-- 1 cup of Cascadia maple brown sugar granola

-- Strawberries or blueberries

-- Dash of cinnamon

-- Squirt of Stevia

Plus a couple cups of coffee and I'm good to go.

This morning, in order:

Coffee, 10 mile run, Sausage McMuffin & Yogurt Parfait, more Coffee.

Well I eat before I go to bed in the late morning......I was so bad yesterday..3 doughnuts. One even had coconut on it..yum

Usally a bowl of Kashi crunch after the morning training.

broiled a poblano pepper, removed skin and seeds.  On it:

2 eggs + 1 egg white scrambled with onions and 3 kind of peppers, cheese

topped with avocado and home made salsa

sweet potato

This morning:

Coffee, 42 mile ride, 2 blueberry waffle & 2 eggs OE with coffee.
