Morning breakfast! body catabolic, should i....

[Slaiv]

be ingesting some simple carbs?

i read in several magazines that when you wake up in the morning, since you body is catabolic, you need to take in about 30g pro and about 40g of fast dig carbs (such as vitargo, gatorade, etc..)

i was just wondering if this was true guys?

should i eat fast dig. carbs in the morning? u know, rice cakes, cereal, etc..?

tjhanks!!

Yes, after your cardio. Oats, brown rice, yams...etc.

I have some fast and some slow. Some people even believe in shooting slin in the morning with breakfast. I only use it PWO if I do at all.

But anyways I usually have 100-120g carbs in the morning. I will get 2/3 of it from oats or cream of wheat and some from fruit. Whether it be bananas or some rainins in my oats. But I wouldnt have gatorade or vitargo for the simple reason that it doesnt fill you AT ALL. You can drink 1000 calories worth of gatorade and not feel like you ingested a single calorie. Between my first and second meals there is the shortest time span simply because my body starts to crave food much faster because my metabolism is kicked off after the first meal of the day. I TRY so hard just to wait 2 hours for my second meal. If I had gatorade I would be eating again in 15mins and thats pointless. You wanna at least feel full especially if you are cutting.

How do you afford that"I eat 5 every morning with 1 cup of oats and it seems like I'm buying eggs 3 times a week.The cheapest I find eggs in the states is $1.24 a dozen of large which doesn't sound like very much but I also have alot of bills too.

Well I guess its all perspective: $2.00 for 12 eggs and maybe $0.75 for a cup of oats? Thats a cheap meal, imo
