Not sure what you mean 'refined better'? Looks pretty good to me

1/2 cup blueberries - 0/20/0

Easy!
Not sure why anybody would want to consume 100g carbs unless you're only eating a couple meals/day.

I am currently trying to keep my carb consumption to morning and pre and post work out.
I read that that would be the most effective use of the carbs.
That's why the large portion in the AM.
Is that a bad philosophy to follow?

Not necessarily. What's your current goal? Please don't say 'add muscle and lose bodyfat' - that's everyone's goal, lol! I mean - what's your current primary focus?

I want to get my bf% down. I have quite a lot of muscle mass I believe so my major primary goal is to shed the bad weight.

Then post up your full stats and daily diet. Just discussing your breakfast really isn't going to do you much good.

I was going to post as I ate kind of thing. Sometimes sales is tough and I get busy so posting has to take a back seat! I have not been able to plan out my diet completely yet. I'm hoping to be able to get it together this weekend.
I had a shake Syntha-6 from BSN
22g P 6g F 15g Carbs 200 Cal

Drop the whole wheat and switch to Ezekiel bread. Replace peanut butter with almond butter. For your shake, replace milk with almond milk. Add rolled oats, Greek yogurt, egg whites, almond milk, banana, throw in blender. You won't need oatmeal.
Drink shake 30-60 min before Ezekiel bread if you can.

Was just reading up on Ezekiel bread sounds interesting I will have to give it a try. What is the purpose of drinking the shake 30-60 minutes before the bread?
Just had a Pre-WO Meal
Asian Chicken Stir Fry with Rice
37g Protein 5g F 94g Carbs 560 Cals
Leaving me at 113g Protein, 34g Fats 209g Carbs, 1460 Calories for the day so far

Two reasons. My first "meal" of the day is largely protein based before anything else; carb-based comes after. Second, the protein shake I recommended may be 800-1200 cals depending on what you include or omit. At 800-1200 cals, you may not be able to consume the whole thing if you've already eaten (breakfast) before.

800 - 1200 calories the high end of that would take me to nearly half of my daily caloric limit. Is this something I should be considering for shedding bad weight?

What is your reasoning behind this? Their macro profiles are basically the same if I'm not mistaken.

Curious as well. Personally I wouldn't have either of em' in this meal, but I see no appreciable difference for one over the other.
New Member
Is the breakfast itself bad? what if i had that and just removed the 2 slices of bread?
Knowledgeable Member
Yes, correct. They are similar depending in brands. I've seen some good peanut butter brands with comparable macros and calories but not all are the same. From a health standpoint, the fats are supposedly better in almond butter and antioxidant values are higher so from a purely health index, it is a healthier choice.
Some of the fresh organic almond butters in Organic stores are of better quality with less sugar and carbs but if you're comparing shelf brands, the benefits of one over the other are inconsequential. When bulking, peanut butter will offer a marginal benefit as will almond butter when cutting.
In all honesty, I prefer the taste of peanut butter for sure, but I have switched to almond butter for the supposed healthier benefits. On weekends though, I usually make a peanut butter smoothie or PB&J protein shake. Friggin delicious!!!!!
The same is true of yogurt in my shakes. Plain Greek yogurt is a great additive. Low in carbs, higher in protein than other yogurt brands BUT if I'm leaning out, I will only add it once or twice a week to keep my shakes leaner.
