Warning! Is Breakfast Sabotaging Your Muscle?

Mango banana protein smoothie with a handful of nuts and one fried egg every morning before hitting the gym

[@marcusfilly]

Sounds really yummy!

[@Hunterfury_44]

200lbs (90kg) person needs 90x1.6=144g protein at bulk and 90x1.8=162g protein on a cut, where are you getting your 200g protein data from? 2.2g/kg is waaaaaay(with a ton of "a"s too much)

[@andh2627]

So if we are 200 pounds but want to lose weight to 150 pounds, we should target 150g of protein a day?

[@daninglesonline1526]

I used to, now I can’t train without breakfast🎉 the workout is completely different 🎉

[@marcusfilly]

That’s so true. Fasted training has its place but being well fed for a workout hits different!

[@TheRajsza]

I'm the same. I did looooots of different fasting,-breakfast-training approaches and it just showed me that we human can eat whatever we want and whenever we want so long we want ;) Just give body and mind few weeks to adapt and there you go

[@Loelyfe748]

Im in prison its so hard to get enough protein in here...we do have ultra fit protein bars..are those good to eat?..those give another 24g in them...we have alot of mackerel.. oatmeal and other fishes on commissary

I definitely don't skip breakfast. I have two breakfasts. I have a pre-workout breakfast and a post-workout breakfast. My pre-workout breakfast is three rice cakes, 25 grams of organic raw, unfiltered local honey, Organic peanut butter, one whole organic banana, and a little bit of sprinkled cinnamon. I jump on my peloton and do a 12-mile cycle, then resistance train for 45 minutes, then have my second breakfast, which is my post-workout breakfast, which is overnight oats with one scoop of whey, protein, flaxseed, steel-cut oats, and blueberries.

[@marcusfilly]

Love that! It's great that you're centering your breakfasts around training. Keep at it. 💪

[@ItsmeStaygoldkid]

@@marcusfilly thanks man! I’m a big fan of yours. I love the podcast. It’s my go to listen when I take my walks or just driving around

[@BirdLisa]

This man’s pre-workout is 1/3 of my daily calories 😂

[@1297mc]

Can you do a video on your top smoothie recipes?

[@marcusfilly]

Great idea. Off the top of my head right now, I usually do 1-1.5 scoops of Transparent Labs whey protein, unsweetened almond milk, a handful of frozen fruit and some greens.

[@georgebesis]

Great inspiration bro keep it up

[@marcusfilly]

Thanks for following along!

[@bobdec6665]

wow you are ripped in those pics..

[@IssyWatsonFit]

Just want my mom to listen to this. 😅

[@TheRajsza]

Have no idea how someone can struggle to hit their desired protein intake. I'm 48kg (105 Ibs?) and I could easily eat 1.5g per 1 Ibs or even more. I struggle to do not go over the board :p

[@marcusfilly]

Awesome that you've prioritized protein!

[@walatalalaw]

I eat 3 tbsp mixed oats, 2tbs soy flakes, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp powdered peanut butter and one handfful of almonds, with milk and a teaspoon of maple syrup (for sweetness). I can prepare it the night before and store in the fridge, and it contains 20+ grams of protein that I can eat on the train to work

[@marcusfilly]

Love it! Prepping the night before is game changing.

[@surfingerik69]

Overnight oats is a gamechanger for me! But looking for some nice variations. Do who wants to puts his favorite overnight oats in the reactions?

[@marcusfilly]

We have a couple shorts on here with some recipes!
