gold that's like water after competition
hey what's up muscle & strength steve kuclo here with team allmax
bringing you part 2 of what bodybuilders eat for breakfast excited to be here
with you guys to show you what I eat you know right now it's I'm not necessarily
dieting for a specific show but I eat pretty clean it's what I eat on a daily
basis and it always changes just a little bit I mean you know if my weights
not moving whether I'm trying to bring it down or up you know I may be adding a
few ounces of meat or a few more egg whites or a couple ounces of oats here
and there and I'm going to show you what I do a little bit of techniques and just to kind
of eat an efficient fast but very good breakfast
I pour about three to four ounces of oats by themselves then go throw a pack of
that on top as my pallet has changed I would say that I use less sweetener than I
did when I was younger and I just eat a lot simpler you know I don't know if I'm just
getting old and like this is so routine that it's not like I have to trick
myself into eating this way just right now it's pretty easy just to know my
routine foods that I eat I'll get the frying pan warmed up lately I've been
doing about six to eight ounces of beef with mixed in my egg whites so I made
some ground beef already so then I just throw some ground beef in that or I cut
up some steak that I precooked instead of you know cooking it every morning if
I'm in the morning I'm kind of still half asleep I already have it cooked
throw it in there just to kind of warm it up and then I'll cook the egg whites
and mix it in with it you know I'll do I usually do about one to two eggs so
obviously have to get out the condiments the favorite I'm sure every bodybuilder
every fitness enthusiast favorite thing ever is low sugar ketchup and you know
my old little dirty secret spray butter and then I'll be doing a little Ezekiel
toast with it just to get some extra carbs in me I like the cinnamon raisin
Ezekiel toast my weight you know floating in the high 280s right now and I
compete around 275 so to drop about 10 pounds isn't going to be a whole lot of
effort as far as have to you know be killing it on cardio and having a diet
super hard so right now it's you know I still eat the same foods all year round
so not this big drastic change where I have to go from you know eating
you know waffles and pancakes every morning to I got to eat egg whites and oats you know it's
like this is just what I like to eat and it's just second nature so it's what I'm
doing pretty good at eye balling it so I'll do
about six to eight ounces and that was six ounces right on the money so I'll be
good with that today throw that in the toaster
I do about 6 to 8 ounces of these as well which is it's close to a cup again
I'm pretty good at eye balling it because I've been doing it so long I
always like to measure my food whether I'm dieting or offseason if I don't know
what I'm eating and then I just decide ok I need to start monitoring my food
and it what is it how much am i eating we're at that point where that my body
will start responding to dropping the calories ultimately so is it if I'm
eating a cup of egg whites and six ounces of beef I know hey maybe I cut down 6
ounces of beef to 4 ounces and that cuts out you know roughly 60 70 calories
right there and then you know maybe drop my egg whites a little bit to half a cup
just for it so I'm giving an example and that way you know hey breakfast I'm
down 150 calories just by knowing how much food I eat on a regular basis I do
hot water out of my little coffee maker for my oats this is a quick way of doing it
that way you know if I'm in the morning and I'm just cranking out my food not
worry about making this gourmet meal I've throw some hot water in there and
I throw it right in the oats and just these are done I'm going to throw them
on my good old chi net paper plate I mean if you haven't done this yet you're
going to want to do yourself a favor and save yourself some dishes I don't like
to eat off glass plates if I'm you know obviously if I make a nice meal I will
but chi net is the secret because I eat it and throw it right in the garbage my
fats are lower and that's pretty much what I've been doing the last year with
George he doesn't he's not super high in fats and we go a little bit higher on
the carb which is good they all serve their purpose you know when you cut your
fat ultimately it feels like as you're getting farther in your contest prep you
may have two or three hundred grams of carbs but if you have no fat your brain
primarily runs on fat and you realize like I'm losing some brain function it
feels like and that's kind of the dieting brain where just being reduced calorie
reduced fat you feel like you know you're a little bit forgetful a little
bit tired and that's just due to low body you know low body fat and low fat intake
sometimes just having a cheat meal or having like a
burger a fatty steak man you feel like wow I feel great but just little things
you see how your body changes and reacts as you change your diet and be real
observant to what you're doing and that's kind of one of the secrets to I
like to tell people is you know everything is a learning process with
your body that's ready that's ready the toast just rung that it is ready I don't
know about you guys but I am a stand-up eater may sound weird or you maybe do
it too but half the time I say if I stand up and eat I just eat right here
in the kitchen
all right guys there it is that's my breakfast makes you guys subscribe below
