I am currently in Fink Ironman training mode and trying to think about diet and nutrition. I tend to do a bit of training in the morning and usually go for an oat based cereal/muesli afterwards with some dried fruit as its portable and can be eaten at work if neccessary.
The problem is I then tend to snack on the cereal as its so easy to eat when im in the house!
What do people tend to eat for breakfast? Any good alternatives? Im up for trying something new...
Has to be accompnied by coffee though!!

I usually have greek yoghurt and fruit (usually 2 clementines).
But after an early morning Fink session, I need a slice of wholemeal toast too, as I am starving
Most mornings a cup of coffee
Pre a long run I have porridge or bagel with honey
Museli topped with mini shredded wheat. Sometimes with toast and marmalade, sometimes without.
Pre-LSR or ride or race I'll scoff porridge. I used to like porridge a lot, but have really gone off it since starting this exercising crap.
Nuked chow mein as well and cheeseburgers are a well used favourite along with the full fry up. Sometimes as well as.
If you mean race brekkie, well, boring old couple of bananas, plus an eat natural cereal bar for anything over a half, no cereal bar for anything under.
IM brekkie, cold tin of rice pudding with a handful of raisins & coffee.
See, I can be sensible....
3 weetabix
sugarpuffs for the weekend
If im not training until the evening and not feeling too trashed from the night before i might have a thin beef steak on spinach, or if im doing a turbo / run in the morning ill have scrambled eggs on toast with chilli and spinach
Cold porridge left over night in the fridge (uncooked) with honey for the weekend
On a non work day - porridge with dates/raisins/apple and lots of honey
and plenty of coffee
I tend to do any exercise first thing in the day, so before I eat at all, though in the recent cold weather I have taken to bringing a cup of tea into the garage with me to drink while I turbo!
If I have done something a bit longer at the weekend I try to have the above before I exercise, then go gently ballistic on recovery drink, chocolate, anything I can find afterwards!
Apple, Melon, Pineapple, Blueberries with a sprinkling of Granola and greek yoghurt
I am full
Definitely a case of MTFU! Next you will be drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows in and powdered glitter on top!
A little more respect for your elders is required from you!

Tried this today, it was yummy with loads of lurpak
Edited: Bloody link !!! Anyway it was Soreen Toastie Loaf !!
If I'm swimming I will have a banana first then fill up on Muelsi or Bran flakes
If I am running, biking or doing a brick session, I will go out empty and then have my porridge with Jam or Honey after.
Drinks, Strong coffee, Green tea and Cherry active
dynawhat?
Isn't that the magician on tv?
I am very much down with the kids on technology.
Dynamos were great, you used to cruise up to a junction on your bike, just when you wanted people to see you, and the lights would slowly dim...
