Okay, you guys remember how I said when I went to Spain I ended up eating 1-2 really big meals? I'd be eating atleast 1500 calorie breakfasts.

And ever since I came back my body is still totally accustomed to having these huge breakfasts. I wouldn't be able to stop myself. I'd end up eating eggs, oatmeal, bread, peanut butter, some fruits.

And then the rest of the day i'd eat only a couple small protein/fat filled meals.

Is there any negative effects to having such a huge breakfast or is what I am doing now okay? I still end up meeting my calorie requirements and Its not like I'm gaining weight.

But my nutrition is so out of balance i end up eating a 1500 calorie breakfast then 2-3 small meals. I'm just worried taking in so many carbs all at once can have bad effects.

This morning I must have had over 100g of carbs. I feel so damn bloated that I am about to go run outside for the next hour in the 90 degree weather.
 
Have you tried controlling yourself? :azzangel:
 
Personally I would not go for a 1500 calorie breakfast with loads of carbs unless you are carb-loading for a marathon or something. If your breakfast has fructose you will feel hungrier and be tempted to eat more/or even worse be tempted to go for junk food.

It's mostly complex carbs. Lots of eggs, lots of oatmeal, whole wheat bread, natty peanut butter, couple piece of fruit.

The only difference between my old diet, and what I am doing now is that almost all my carbs are being ate in the morning. And then the next 2 meals are small meals such as Tuna, chicken or beef.

Where as before I would eat a small breakfast and then there would be carbs every meal after ( including dinner )
 
If you are happy with it see how your lifting and weight changes. If you put on a bit of fat then you can always revert to the old diet. The other problem I can see is that as the body cannot store protein, after your workout/at night you may need slow proteins like cottage cheese/casein to rebuild, whereas most of your proteins are in the morning.
 
Yea. We'll see. I'm going to lower it to 700/800 calorie breakfasts and see how that feels. And that will also allow me to eat more protein later at night.
