Why 30 Grams of Protein at Breakfast is a Game Changer

Love the egg cups!

Awesome to hear it!

I'm a bit confused about strength training and the timing of breakfast. My current schedule is to get up between 5-530, do self care (including oil pulling, brush teeth, drink warm water with fresh lemon, etc), and then I tend to stretch and exercise (3 days cardio on rebounder and 3 days strength) beginning at about 6-630 with a peaceful walk afterwards, weather permitting. My breakfast is at about 8-830. I do not eat anything between the end of dinner (~630pm) and breakfast. Am I sabotaging my strength training efforts by eating at the wrong time? I'm mindful of protein and get at least 90g per day but usually more like 110 or so. Reference: I'm 48, have a very small frame, and weigh about 115lbs. I am perimenopause. Thank you. ❤

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Protein intake overall looks good. I'd ensure you hit that protein within 30 min of strength training so likely 6:45am or so, 7:15am as latest goal.

@@naturallynourishedRD ok, thank you for your response. :)

30grams. Let’s go!

[@naturallynourishedRD]

YES team protein!

When you say breakfast, are you meaning the first meal of the day, or literally within two hours of waking up? I've learned seafood is a great breakfast/first meal; especially, the more stronger fish, like sardines. It tastes better. Then, I'm adding eggs with meals, as much as possible. Thanks for the ideas!

[@naturallynourishedRD]

We're talking within first 2 hours of waking. Even 1 hour of waking. Yes, sardines are awesome! You might be interested in this recipe. The whole family (even kids) like them, you can make a batch and freeze them for reheating as well. www.naturallynourishedrd.com/thai-sardine-cakes/

We literally mean within the first 2 hours of rise to prevent catabolism of muscle

[@dimitrinaslavkova3560]

I am 50 kg, do I also need 30 g protein for breakfast?

[@naturallynourishedRD]

If 50 kg (110lbs) is your ideal weight then that means you should get 110 grams of protein. We're saying eating 30g of protein that would make it easier plus 30 grams of protein provides about 3g of leucine which will help build muscle. So you don't need it but it makes it easier for sure!

Always pushing THEIR products-ANNOYING

[@carolinemcallister1473]

Lots of YT'ers have their own product. They mentioned theirs at the end. That's not "pushing".

[@naturallynourishedRD]
