Breakfast of Champions

Question

About 8 years ago, I was probably 10-15 pounds overweight but and had a bit too much body fat...&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I started eating 2 bowl of oatmeal every morning with a scoop of protein powder for breakfast.  &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I&#x27;d stick with a high protein lunch and dinner with steamed veggies during the day adding a snack before both of those both meals.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Before bed, I would also eat another bowl of oatmeal with protein powder.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I had always lifted weights 3-4 times a week but hated cardio and I still don&#x27;t do much cardio...&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I&#x27;ve been at my perfect weight ever since with about 5-6% body fat and a great physique...I think the food you eat is much more important to body weight/fat then what cardio excercises you do...&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I hope this may help some of you guys out!

Right On !!!!&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I eat the oatmeal cold right out of the box with milk and banana like a bowl of cereal.

It&#x27;s a lot more difficult to increase the calories out than it is to decrease the calories in.It sounds like this worked great for you, but for most people oatmeal and protein before bed wouldn&#x27;t be the best choice. Oatmeal and whey protein do raise insulin levels (ok in the morning, great after workout, but not so great before bed). A better choice is cottage cheese and casein protein before bed. Both are carbs and protein, but casein proteins are digested slower.

Yeah i think It depends to the individual in regards to what works for them eg. aim, as in their goal wether it's fat loss/weight loss, muscle gain etc. I have a friend who is overweight and he started doing cardio daily and lost a lot of weight but still ate junk.

It's great that this works for you though, anyway to help you get healthier!! Congrats

Although I&#x27;d swap the oatmeal before bed to say a protein shake or some low fat cottage cheese mixed with protein powder. &#xD;&#xA;You don&#x27;t want to be taking in a serve of complex carbs right before you sleep
