Porridge

[mr brightside]

Started having porridge for breakfast on a morning at work as part of my new 'getting back racing' calorification system. It's £1.09 a pot from Waitrose, Stoat's Scottish Porridge, comes with added brown sugar instead of removed sugar like some 'healthier' brands. Tasted nice, like porridge your granny used to feed you as a child, certainly better than a greasy bacon and egg followed by heartburn. I've asked the sarnie woman for less greasy food but she just rolled her eyes and shreiked at me like she always does when you ask for something. I think i've been getting fat on sarnies while i've been out, i reckon i've put a kilo on and it isn't muscle bulk, i'm nearly up to 66Kg now! If i carry on at this rate i'll be needing 70PSI in my bike tyres before long.

Porridge oats (cheap bag ones) Dried cooking fruit, Almond Milk, mixed nuts and seeds (Aldi) and a spoon full of Honey on race days.

No cooking or heating, can be eaten on way to a race or drunk out of a cup.

Easy and good Mr B

Good advice but add GINGER for its anti inflammatory properties essential on ultra distance

That's probably my breakfast from hell, but i can't argue with it being healthy for you.

Pin head oats - from Booths or Holland and Barrett - made with 50/50 water/oat milk, and sweetened with some chopped dates - delicious after a grapefruit, as it tastes full and sweet.

Seconded, but buy it dirt cheap at Suma or similar http://www.ecogreenstore.co.uk/index...ducts_id=20891

Add honey too or if you're really decadent (for those special occasions like Christmas Day brekkie)...double cream!!!

Nah, nah. The big, fat rough oats from Booths with 50/50 water milk (100% water in the hills).
