Question about breakfast

[Robb235]

i know alot of guys swear by eggs in the morning, but what about pancakes? i've had either pancakes or waffles every day for breakfast since i was probably 13 (i'm 19 now). i always thought that it gave me a good source of energy in the morning, but how does this breakfast stack up to a boxer's breakfast? i usually have a tall glass of grapfruit juice or orange juice as well. sometimes a banana or yogurt.

The thing about pancakes and waffles are the carbs. You have a ton of carbs in a pancake alone when you add syrup or fruit that goes way up. You do need carbs for energy. You want good ones though the advise you would get from a nutritionist is whole wheat pancakes with sugar free syrup. Doesnt sound that great, but there not too bad. Think HIIIIIIgh protien and good carbs to start your day. Consequently you do want the bulk of your carbs to come at breakfast so you wouldn't be killing your efforts with small portions and do use the sugar free syrup.
