Easy To Make Balanced Breakfast For Body Builders
You probably heard you should eat balanced meals when you want to build your muscle. It’s pretty easy to prepare a balanced lunch or dinner with “real” food. But when it comes to a balanced breakfast, it’s more challenging.
Here’s one simple balanced breakfast idea for bodybuilders you can prepare in just 20 minutes.
Balanced Breakfast Ingredients
- 2 Chicken Eggs
- ½ Cup Of Quaker Quick Oats Dry Cereals
- 1 Glass 1.5% Fat Milk
Macronutrients
| Macronutrient | kcal | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | 80 | 24% |
| Carbs | 152 | 46% |
| Fat | 97 | 30% |
An ideal meal should have:
- 25 – 30% Protein
- 55 – 60% Carbohydrates
- 15 – 20% Fat
As you can see with this breakfast you are getting just a little bit below the recommended 25% of proteins, also a bit less than the recommended 55% of carbs, and a little more than the recommended 20% of fat. You will notice it’s pretty hard to keep inside the recommended zone with every meal. But, you can try to get as close as possible.
How To Make A Balanced Breakfast
This is a very easy-to-make recipe that can be used for breakfast or dinner. When I first tried it I used it as a breakfast. Now I’m mostly preparing it for dinner.
Step 1
Take two eggs and place them in a small pot. Fill the pot with water. Water should fully cover the eggs. Turn on the ring on your stove, so the water starts to warm up.
Step 2
After around 10 – 15 minutes warm up a glass of milk and pour it into a cup. Use semi-skimmed milk to limit the amount of fat in this meal. You can also go with even lower-fat milk to reduce the fat even further.
Step 3
Add 1/2 a cup of Quaker Quick Oats to your milk.
Step 4
After around 15 minutes eggs are boiled. Cool them down under running cold water. Peel the eggshell. Your breakfast is ready to be served.
