Gym rat Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Not to sure if this topic has been mentioned in past threads. After my comp breakfast what I had in Wellington back fired on me by having a can of creamed rice,two small cans of wild Alaska salmon and jam due the sodium content in it not to sure of the total amount of sodium that I had in my comp breakfast. But this time around I am leaning towards something that I can eat right away or spending time cooking it. For the macros that I am looking at is high carb,low fat,low sodium ie 18mg or 19mg in it. Guys could you please give me some suggestions which would make things a bit more easy for me when I buy my carb up food when I arrive in Christchurch on the 8th?

maccaz Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 ok.why did it backfire on you? what was the negative effect of the sodium in it?or have you read somewhere not to have sodium so thats your latest idea? how about this one riceoatssweet potato im not a bodybuilder but those 3 foods fit the requirements you listed you dont need some delicious fucking treat to reward yourself and call it a carb up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainlikeafreak Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 What's wrong with sodium on comp day? It's gonna make you vascular as hell if you're in shape and give you a great pump? Also why low fat? I would instead look at a more mod/high fat, slower release meal followed by fast carb meals like rice cakes and honey etc. For Bfast steak and eggs is good and depending on your condition amping other variables some kumara could also be useful.. Or a bacon and egg sandwich lol. It honestly depends and Id look at the day as a whole rather than focussing just on meal one. gazza and pyro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Al Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Im more interested if he had the jam with the salmon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gym rat Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I have taken train like a freak advice on board and those are good suggestions including honey which I have add to my carb up list when I do buy my carb up food when I arrive in chch . Not to sure what type of honey that I will buy ie liquid honey or normal honey. Might have to compare cost difference by having a look on the countdown website or going into new world to have a look.

Bruce Al Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I personally find expensive manuka honey, jam and red salmon on vogals orgional the best. But, i use cheap pams strawberry jam. I could probably do better.What Jam do you use GymRat?Do you Prefer raspberry or strawberry or another type?

Bruce Al Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I find strawberry jam better than raspberry jam. Raspberry jam has to many seeds and they get stuck in your teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Al Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Have you thought about making your own jam? Just by making the jam you burn a few extra calories.
