I feel so much better, make better choices, and burn more calories if I eat breakfast.

My ideal schedule:
coffee with milk and sugar
carb-heavy breakfast
workout
post-exercise electrolyte drink
green smoothie with protein
big green salad with grains and protein
kombucha or iced coffee
balanced dinner

Which electrolyte drink do you use? I'm thinking of trying LMNT.

Not the PP, but I think Liquid IV has the best nutritional profile for moderate/heavy exercise or illness. LMNT has way too much sodium.

DP. I like LMNT but only use it for a long fast day. I like the salty taste. We actually need more sodium than people think. I use liquid IV energy version when teaching for an afternoon pick me up.

I'm the PP who mentioned breakfast one and breakfast two. I work full-time. Training session 1 is at 5 am, training session 2 is during my lunch break.

Put on 10lbs with peri-menopause at 50. Have now cut our breakfast to try to get rid of it. I’ve been doing this for 3 months and still haven’t lost a single pound. I am still a normal BMI but so frustrating.

I eat ALL the meals. Breakfast is plain yogurt and berries, a banana if I have them, lots of black coffee. (Oatmeal in cooler weather). I try to wait until 9 am to make it to lunchtime. My stomach is growling every 3 hours no matter what I eat. Pretty average sized at 5'4 and around 115 pounds, early 50s.

I usually exercise right after work or at like 9 pm after I've had a chance to digest dinner a bit.
