4 egg whites, 1 whole egg, lots of spinach, some tomato, some green chiles, some salsa = omelette or scramble

Something like this if I have time to sit down. Otherwise, some variation of a fruit/oatmeal smoothie- today it was strawberry, banana, blueberry.

Isn't too much spinach bad for your kidneys or something?

I have 2 different breakfasts that I eat regularly.
1) bowl of cereal (either raisin bran or mini wheats) w/ skim milk and a banana
2) 3 whole eggs scrambled w/ 2 slices whole wheat toast and a banana

both come out to around 500 cals

I'm pretty sure there's something in it that isn't so hot for your kidneys, in large amounts. Not like laboratory large, more like a couple or few pounds a week large, I think. Don't remember the particulars. I think maybe it increases the chance of stones or something? Eh, can't recall.

My breakfast depends on my time, but I have difficulty eating in the morning so I have to result in a liquid breakfast. I will grind a cup of raw oats, add a scoop of protein and maybe a little bit of extras if I feel like it and mix it with water.

I won't sugar coat it, sometimes its a challenge drinking it as you don't know wether to swallow or chew but it gives me what I need and I can follow with a meal of whole food shortly after.

Wynton, i'm pretty much in the same bag.

At home i like to go with a healthy cereal, a glass of juice, and sometimes a peice of fruit.

If on the go i go for a fruit salad and a fruit juice.

I've also read during the cutting phase that you should start your day with a glass or two of water. Can't remember where i read that though.

During bulking phase i eat more cereal, always have the fruit and a large protein shake.

oh man i love breakfast. I have perfected this routine;

I eat an omelette with havarti cheese, mushrooms, spinach, 4 egg whites, 1 omega egg, and some paprika sprinkled on the top. I cook the vegetables on high heat in a tsp of olive oil, then i remove to the plate. this is when i start on my oatmeal (usually like 3/4 cup of oats, on low heat the whole time the omelettes cooking, then i add like half a punnet of blueberries once the omelette starts and blend them into the oatmeal with a wooden spoon, add cinamon and nutmeg and a little splenda). When the pans really hot from the vegetables I add little bit of butter and a little bit of olive oil, and keeping the heat really high, i wait for it to turn nut brown then pour my egg mixture in (eggs + about a tablespoon and a half of warm water); then as soon as it starts to cook a bit, i add the cheese, then the vegetables; once a crust has kind of formed, i fold one side over into the middle, then the other side over into the middle.

Then sprinkle paprika and pepper on top; the outside of the omelete is crispy and the inside is gooey and delicious; this is the perfect start to the day for me. Sometimes i add a spoon of yoghurt to the oatmeal.

Usually I drink a pot of black coffee and about 600 ml of water with all this.
