I'm not one to eat breakfast, I usually just get up and go. I do want to start eating a lot better and am currently training for a 1.5 mile run. I was wondering if this would be suitable to keep my energy levels high and a good way to kick off the morning. Breakfast- 2 Packets of Oatmeal w/ Cinnamon & Raisins. - 3 Large Eggs (1 Whole and 2 Whites). - 2 Pieces of Wholewheat Toast with Jelly. - 1 Banana. - 1 Glass of 2% Skim Milk. I'm 6'0", 225 lbs. I'm looking to drop weight and increase endurance. I run every morning and trying to build myself up.

Count calories. Eat under your maintenance, and you will lose weight. Depending on your body fat percentage, I'd suggest dropping ALL running until you lose most of your excess body fat. Do HIIT with a low impact movement like an elliptical or bicycle until then, and even then I wouldn't run every day. Running just isn't good on your body. From a respected Olympic level trainer.Running with a lot of extra fat is BAD, all around. You are very likely to hurt yourself. Running in general, even for skinny people isn't all that great. HIIT burns more calories (yes, it does damnit!), and is easier on your body. A sprinter will always be leaner. A marathon runner will just be skinny and have no muscle tone. Which would you rather be? The human body (and almost every animal except maybe birds that flock) was designed for short bursts of activity, not prolonged periods of if. Muscle burns more calories than any other tissue. Lifting heavy objects builds muscle. I'll let you do the math.

Yeah, I just read your other post about the run. Well, I guess the best way to get better at something is to practice it, but it could very likely cause damage to your joints. So if you plan on running on a regular basis after the test, I'd suggest losing some fat, if you value your joints. Good luck!

What kind of shoes are you using? And note when I talked about your breakfast, I was cutting the processed sugars out. The jam and the instant oatmeal has to go. You can get the stuff made with splenda if you really must have it, otherwise switch to a full fat peanutbutter -- NOT A LOW FAT PEANUT BUTTER -- those things are loaded with sugar to save the taste, and if you're active, you're way more likely to use the fat as energy and you don't get the GI spike that you get from sugar.

They beat me to it!!!! 1. No oatmeal packs. Instant oatmeal means insulin spike, which since you are running, you need stable energy flow. Get the 100% rolled oats! Add some berries and a banana with 1/4 cup of walnuts are almonds, your good to go. 2. Need more protein then 3 eggs! Try a cup of egg whites or egg beaters with one whole egg. 3. Fat free milk or cut the fat somewhere else, great for vit. D and Calcium, and a slow digesting protein with Caseinates. 4. No need for the toast and jelly, nothing there really, just sugar and more carbs, your already getting from a cup of oatmeal and a sliced banana and blueberries.

you want natural pb, not full fat.

I've personally never noticed a difference between either. I'm not one to care about fats as much as I am sugars though, more about avoiding sugar/food highs.

I was trying to keep it doable. He's not trying to attain an elite bodyfat%, hes trying to lose some weight and run 1 1/2 miles in 10:22. Not everyone can simply cut things to where they no longer enjoy their breakfast and stick to it over a long term period to where it makes a difference. And I have natural peanut butter in my house now that still has 2g of sugar in it, just the same as full fat. Also googled it and saw http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/91703.html. Sometimes you have to keep diets doable, or a person will never stick to it over the long term.

If you really want to separate the yolks (without an egg seperator) after you crack the egg, hold it upright into two pieces, one half shell with the egg in it and the other half shell empty, then gently pour the white into the empty half, the yolk should stay behind. I don't separate many yolks (unless im making a big omlett) Another tip for the plain oatmeal I like is to make the oatmeal a little wartery and mix in some protein powder, tastes great, and no sugar!

Not really, being active doesn't have much to do with what you burn for energy. Your body will burn muscle before it burns fat, unless provided with adequate aminos. It's an insulin spike, not a GI spike. Drop the fruit too, fructose is a shitty sugar.
