I just found this brown rice thats super easy to cook, takes 90 seconds in the micro, so its really easy when your on the go, did that yesterday with some chicken.

Started the day off right with a fruit-infused oatmeal. Potassium + Vitamins + Antioxidants + Whole grain = Energy I need to get through the morning.

 

Jason, that sounds awesome. I've heard of doing it with chicken stock as well but I've never tried it.

Today I switched up to 5 sets of 30 sec max effort bike sprints with 30 sec active recovery. Then 3 sets 1 minute out of the seat climbing with 1 min rest.

40 min kb, db and core work. Nice 1 hour morning workout.

 

why carbs only?
Furthermore you don`t need that much Fructose to fill up your liver stores
An Insulin spike right in the morning is good but less simple carbs and more complex carbs like your oats will give you a steady stream of glucose when it is digested and longer lasting energy

 

You don't realize how great breakfast is until you start eating it.

Today's was two Eggs, toast, OJ, and some strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple.

 

Oats have something like 5g prot in a half cup (dry). I dunno about rob, but I often do oatmeal in the AM with some fruit before my morning workout, then greek yogurt after. That does me alright till mid morning snack time.

I don't normally do as much fruit as shown above though.

 

I've been snacking on pecans recently throughout the day for some simple protein. I might start doing some oats for breakfast. As of now, I've only been tossing them into my protein shake.

 

So... I have a question for allyou workout buffs... I have really thick thighs from running up ramps at my job (valet for those that don't know). Do my question is this, is it possible to make my thighs more lean and not as bulky without really losing muscle? If so, what is the best way. I know it's a pretty lame question so take it easy on me.

 

How big a bodypart is gets determined by:

Genetics
How much you eat
How you work the muscle

In your case, genetics and how you work your legs are pretty much set. You can certainly try eating less to lean out, but it's not going to specifically target your legs. And where you lose or gain differs from person to person.

With all of the info out there, why would a guy want to lean his legs out? Big legs=badass.
