Breakfast

[palffyfan]

I just started CKD (3rd day) and I was wondering when I should eat breakfast...before or after cardio and how much time in between?

after am cardio. and eat a big breakfast, i always eat 3 eggs and 4 pieces of bacon but i should be eating more like 5 eggs and 7 pieces of bacon.

I usually eat my breakfast 1 hour before cardio... but I normally run like 3-5 miles, then do about 30 minutes abwork, then workout/lift about 60 minutes. So I know that I will burn off breakfast by that time, plus I can't take my Multivitamen on an Empty stomach, as I throw up every time, and I mean every time, that i do.

I think its up to you, but if you have enough energy to do Cardio before Bfast on a CKD and without any supplements in the morning, more power to ya. The CKd diet yields awesome results.

damn lee, you eating the yolks on those? ... nway, what I sometimes do is whisk up a block of soft tofu, add a little cayenne pepper, a little hot chili powder, a little black pepper, and even some basil sometimes, fry it up in a pan lightly coated with olive oil.. get 2 peices of whole wheat toast, glass of soy milk... and what do you have? about 28g of protein.. not bad. -without the cholesteral/saturated fats-

I'm not gonig to bother to start another CKD thread, SI i'll just hijack yours

Why is it important to cycle the calories every day. I'm gong by Mr X"s spread sheet. For example; why on one day eat 125g of fat and 176g of protein. Well the next day, the ratios change?

Damn i hope its not that important. I just spent 2 hours working out a diet I'd hate to have to adjust it for all 6 days!!

I don't know if it's important. I just want to know why.

Im still a newb but this is how I understand it...Day 1 involves a lot of fat to get u into ketosis, then there is an increase in protein in days 2-3 when one gets the most excercise in then days 4-5 require more fat as your muscles are deplored from glucogen and need more energy...feel free to prove me wrong
