In the mornings i am completly short on time. Usualy i have a quick fix of low sugar instant oat meal with raisens(i know, first problem) but that will soon be fixed with real oats and splenda. My problem comes with my protein intake in the morning. i dont have enough time to fix up some egg whites. Would you recomend a protein shake along with oatmeal, and some fruit for breakfast?

Also, i am kinda confused about 5 to 6 meals a day. To track calories, should i get everything i usualy include in my diet in the kitchen and put in the lables onto fitday? Then afterwards have a meal plan that i make that should include how much protein, calories and carbs i should consume?

I am kinda new to this so dont rag on me to bad thankyou to anyone who gets back to me, this site has helped me a lot so far.

Yes you can put everything into fitday to see where you're at - then start looking at ways to tweak that to bring it more in line with where you want to be calorie-wise and percentage-wise (fat, protein, carbs).

Instead of making the eggs fresh - try making enough for a few days... The yolks might be a little discolored after, but if you're only after the whites you should be good to go.

For added protein, try nonfat yogurt - just have to beware of the sweeteners they use. Or just get the yogurt together and make yourself a fruit smoothie (along with some ice).

Just drink a L of milk in the morning, like I do - that's about 36g of protein. Or simply buy some whey protein. It's rather cheap now. You can buy 5lbs. of optimum nutrition whey for about $30 USD.

All of that milk has a lot of carbs though too. I add some whey in my oatmeal in the mornings if I don't eat eggs.

But eggs really don't take that long to make anyway, it doesnt take much longer than the oatmeal in the microwave.
