What’s your first meal of the day ??

[anfee]

Monday - Friday (eat at work) I have 16oz whole milk, 2 scoops protein, 3 bags of brown sugar and maple oatmeal!!

Saturday - either eggs, sausage, toast, and chocolate milk or what I usually have during the work week.

Sunday - 3 or 4 sausage biscuits from McDonald’s. I don’t know why, but these are my guilty pleasure. They go hard.

When I'm not in a cut I'll throw a cup of mushroom and some spinach in with the eggs too.

Does anyone drink water in between meals?

Supposedly if water is consumed during a meal it dilutes stomach acids, so in theory it takes longer for the meal to be broken down. I’ve never gone to this extreme but I’ve heard guys putting down 8K+ calories a day use this and wondering if someone here has?

If one is having trouble with stomach acid then digestive enzymes would be the offset. Supplement with a good digestive enzyme.

If someone is skipping water during a meal from fear of diluting stomach acid ... you would have to be drinking a shit ton to change the ph balance lol. Sipping on water won’t change this. Imo.

Per John Meadows:

If you find you’re having digestion issues, such as staying full too long or feel overly bloated for an extended period of time, chug water 20 minutes before meal and don’t drink until 20 minutes after the meal.

I’m just reiterating what he said in my own words. He said he’s not sure why it works. May have to do with diluted stomach acid, enzymes, water retention, etc. He also mentioned he normally only utilizes this with clients pre-contest.

I started implementing it and it works for me, especially for the extended bloating. He also says to still make sure you’re drunk 6+ liters of water a day, which I drink at least that much. So since you’re taking out 40+ minutes of drinking time every meal, you have to make sure you’re really getting water down between meals.

Technically it's a shot of pre-workout I suppose. Right after I'm up, before the shower and another after. No food until after I hit the gym.

Then it's usually whole milk / whey. Maybe leftovers if I've got any in the fridge.

It should be noted that I usually don't get up until around noon though. Not at all hungry and usually not wanting to cook.

Yup. I don’t think carbs first thing AM is beneficial to anyone who doesn’t need them there for that reason or who isn’t training AM. The longer you go without large insulin spikes the longer your tissue burning “switch” can stay on or can come back on sooner (insulin shuts down catabolism which everyone forgets is how fat loss happens too, not just the dreaded muscle loss).

When I shifted carbs to PM I felt better all day and body comp was better.

Man this is exactly what I was thinking!
Carbs pre workout, carbs post workout, and the rest of the time, lean protein and dietary fats.
You were the one I think, that was being very selective when consuming carbs, that I read in another thread.
Went looking for that thread again and couldn’t find it.
But regardless, I like what you had to say about carb timing.

Couldn’t be me lol, I eat carbs at every meal because I was adding cals constantly to stay growing. But I do 100% feel better when I keep carbs out in the AM. It just doesn’t support my current goal of adding stage lbs.

Lol, well it sounded good at least.
But like I said, he was timing his carbs, and I like that thought process!
