So I have been on and off-track the past month and can’t seem to keep it on the straight and narrow. (sighs) Well in the midst of my inconsistent behavior, I’ve been using the same ideas in the morning to try and get in high calories. My weakness is the evening time when I hardly have any energy left to cook, so the morning time is extremely important to me. To see the tutorial for all of the breakfast ideas, please visit my Youtube video here and subscribe. I usually eat these meals throughout the morning and never in one sitting. Maybe one day I’ll get to that point where I can stuff my face like this in one sitting. The best way to eat all of this is to start early with the main dish and take the remaining portion to work or school to finish. Eat the add ons (banana or energy bar) while commuting to your destination. That’s how I usually get these calories in with no problem.
