Whats for breakfast? (Page 3)

Actually, that's not true (that you'll always burn the same calories). You can increase/decrease your basal metabolism by undereating. Your body thinks its going into starvation mode and thus decreases its calorie burn to compensate. So yes, to a degree you can stoke or depress your metabolism.

Half a pack of Gu Chomps before morning workouts.

Greek yogurt with granola and blueberries and a glass of chocolate milk afterwards.

Occasional Egg McMuffin when I feel like I earned it!

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!!! 

Now that's what I'm talkin about!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

I hope that's a whole tobacco cigarette, or at least steel-cut?

alas it is a wonder bread ciggie

I do a reverse pyramid for food intake -- enormous breakfast, middle sized lunch, smaller dinner.  it's worked wonders for me both physically (from 240+ to 170 while training) and mentally as i still get to have a huge meal.

That saying of breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper.

today:  massive 3 egg omelette with bacon, cheese, mushrooms, green peppers, almost full plateful of hashbrowns, then 2 slices of sourdough toast with butter

I LOVE to eat.  I get to eat like a huge satisfying meal everyday

My lunch today will probably be a small sandwich and maybe a yogurt w/berries if i feel like treating myself

Dinner will be very light, small piece of chicken and vegetables

You forgot dessert. That's an important part of the pyramid that too many people overlook, and its really starting to pis* me off!

LOL, with my pyramid, dessert will be 5 raisins

Calories is a measure of energy.  It's got nothing to do with how you are processing fuel.  You still need the same amount of energy, even in starvation mode.  The difference is you have to steel the fuel from other sources, like muscle, because your body wants to store fat instead of burn it for energy while in starvation mode.

OK, so we will agree to disagree on this one!

Bowl of peanut butter puffins and a Cliff Builders bar.
