    Still learning, how's my breakfast?

    3/4 cup of egg whites- P18/C1/F0
    2.5oz of lean ground turkey(tbl spoon of Chorizo powder)- P16/C0/F1
    1 med red potato cooked with tbl spoon olive oil- P3/C26/F0
    1 small whole wheat tortilla- P4/C18/F4
    8oz water

    Total P38/C45/F5

    Trying to get good complex carbs in morning for energy. Want to keep Carbs at 100 or less per day. I am still getting a diet worked out want Protein to equal about 300 per day. Only using 2 shakes per day, 2 scoops of Whey post workout with 1 banana. 2nd shake before bed 2 scoops Casein.

    This was a very filling meal tasted good enough. What do you think so far, am I on the right track?

    i think its over complicating breakfast...i like to have a lower GI carb with quick food protein.. oats and egg whites.. with no/very minimal fat.

    well its not bad.. but i prefer oats, ezekiel, yams/sweet poatoes always over any other carb. and turkey is a natural antibiotic that makes you tired so id never go turkey early in theday.

    Yea I have Turkey planned for last meal of day for sleep.

    So Red potato is not as good as sweet potato? I thought they were about the same.

    I know nothing about Oats, I guess I will have to go to the store and find some.

    Thx EaTrainRest

    go naturally rolled or steel cut oats... dont look at the macronutrient content the difference is in the GI..and yams are the way to go
