Mint tea- made with fresh mint and cardamom.


Very refreshing, sugared or not.

I need this kind of advice, too. I've been feeling tired recently, with no idea where it comes from. I sleep enough, eat enough, eat decently AFAIk and yet my brain doesn't function effectively, nor can I get up to do stuff. Weird one, maybe it's because my digestion needs to adapt back to this cuisine, but then I've returned more than a week ago already.

Tonight I need to type as many pages of this home project as possible. So I'll cook pasta (spaghetti) with vegetarian sauce (onion, garlic, zucchini, red wine, tomato). With it I'll have green tea (Oolong probably) and then see how good I am.

As far as exercising is concerned, I do go to the gym, which is alright for me since I'm more into building uzp muscle, NOT losing fat.

Apolyton Food/Cuisine threads

Eat oatmeal for breakfast or failing that bring some with you in a container and eat it at lunch, if you think the taste is boring add a little honey, cinnamon, berries or something. Oatmeal is incredibly good food that will last long in your stomach and it's cheap.

[Ecthy]

Lasting long doesn't really matter. I want to gain some weight too, so eating more is OK. It's supposed to put me and my brains on the feet in the first place.

[Footie Mad]

Oatmeal is full of good carbs and minerals, as well as good fat that will help you put on the muscle. A breakfast of a bowl of oatmeal with something protein rich on the side like low fat spread cheese on wholemeal bread is a very good muscle building breakfast.

Try a non-creamy (i.e. Minestrone) soup with your lunch.

[Ecthy]

Oatmeal muesli is quite popular here, I just never fancied the boring taste of it... even adding honey and banana gets a bit dull after time.

What does the minstrone etc. soup do?

[Sandman]

Well, it perks me up. Bits of pasta and vegetables of a tomatoish persuasion, Must be the carbs, I suppose.

[Ecthy]

I understand.

Water is to be boiled any time now, the oolong is aboutto be prepared. Then begins the longest marathon typing event in human history: Ecthy's 4th History Home Project: Arnulf's interventionist policy in Greater Francia.

ARE YOU NUTZ??!?!?!

Baked beans are ALWAYS welcome!

[Sava]

I love baked beans, but that's breakfast blasphemy!!!

[Ecthy]

Never realy had baked beans. My breakfast is usually:

- two slices of toast with honey or nutella (or equivalent thereof)
- one slice of dark corn bread with some cheese and one tomato in slices on it
- one egg (boiled)
- one pear/apple/banana, depending on what's in the house
- all this with a glass of orange juice and a cup of tea (for breakfast this is rooibos, nothing special)

Between breakfast and lunch I will have sandwiches of the same dark corn bread with ham/chicken (1 each), cheese and a leaf of lettuce.

This is the ideal anyway, there's always single components missing etc.

my breakfast:

one Jimmy Dean Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit



with a glass of Minute Maid Raspberry Lemonade



and after breakfast I enjoy coffee in my 16 oz travel mug with a little bit of non dairy creamer

Your breakfast seems... different from healthy.
