What do NBA players eat for breakfast?

[Living Being]

My wife doesn't like it when I eat cereal. She says I need to eat a more wholesome breakfast. So lately I've been eating eggs and bread.

What do NBA players eat, considering they are elite athletes? Shakes? Pancakes?

[brantonli]

As an example, here's Steve Nash's diet:

Here's how my day usually looks.

Breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day.... along with lunch and dinner. I feel if your diet is consistent and well balanced (think long term rather than short term) it isn't so important what you eat right before you play or the night before because your energy levels and recovery will be on target from the quality of your previous three to seven days of meals.

-Gluten and wheat free cereal, sliced almonds and almond or rice milk. (If you don't have the sensitivities I have look for a high fiber cereal. At least 4 grams of fiber.)
I will also have a whole fruit smoothie or an apple, banana or orange.
Green tea.

Lunch. A salad with grilled chicken or fish, vegetables, raw nuts and dried fruit.
I will also have fruit afterwards.

Dinner. Grilled or baked fish or chicken with vegetables. Sometimes I'll have brown rice.

And I think quite a few NBA players (especially stars) have their own chefs.

[keep-itreal]

pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs. Fruit smoothie. I imagine

it will always amaze me how can anyone eat eggs for breakfast, really. here in spain you either have some cereal, cookies or maybe some slices of bread with olive oil, and some fruit... something like that.

I know futbol players eat fruit and cereals for breakfast

[Joshumitsu]

Really? I didn't know that. Eggs for breakfast is a huge American tradition.

It gives you a good amount of proteins in the morning.

Btw, do you guys not eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, too? Just wondering if Spaniards do. Because from what I understand, the French don't eat PBandJ sandwiches.

Tortilla? Or is that for lunch? I've visited Spain often and Tortilla with bread for breakfast is good!

I recently saw a vid of what Kyle Korver eats for breakfast.. I'm at work, so I can't go search for it, but I believe it's this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfwrOIWFuEE

If that's the vid I'm referring to, his chef fixes him avocado, bacon.. crazy stuff in there. A lot to eat for breakfast. More like a dinner salad really.

Eggs are delicious in the morning.

Yeah, Korver and Noah's chefs have several videos up. Fresh fish is good for meals but ya, can't really afford 13 dollar a pounds fish for everyone every night ya know?

That's 1, but also I most (or all) of us don't have personal chefs that can take 30 minutes to 1 hour to cook a good meal. ok, it's not that hard to bake or grill fish, but often cooking takes preparation (and specific grocery shopping) etc.

Whats wrong with frozen fish? Thats cheap and healthy. Dont have to be a chef lol.

I came back from vacation weighing 170 pounds which is to much for me.

I decided to eat fish for dinner everyday cerial for breakfast and just did a snack for lunch.

Lost 20 pounds in a month.

(Of course I play basketball and was running ontop of that)

And as i type this im thinking I should get back to working on a better diet again lol. im 160 wish isnt bad about 5'9 I look good with a shirt on I look like im built lol but if i take my shirt off my stomach isnt in the best of shape. not bad but the **** do people keep their stomach in line? lol never had a good stomach.

[blablabla]

Frozen fish? Nothing wrong with it, but I don't like it much. When food is frozen it always taste a bit differently, either to dry or to wett-ish. I like my food fresh (except for frozen fruit in shakes and stuff). Cooking isn't an issue, finding the time is, eventhough baking some fish doesn't take much time. Money's not an issue as well, you can get several kinds of fish for cheap.

Damn, that's some personal stuff :oldlol: Who cares bout having a good looking body, as long as you feel fit and strong and don't look too sloppy. Exercise and eat good. Maybe you got some old fat, that's not easy to train off.

[SunsCaptain]

Well i mean we have nutella but they dont serve it anywhere you have to buy it. The only place that would ever have nutella is your home.

Where do you live In Europe?

I want to move to England and manage a golf club and then be able to travel

i live in ireland

if i were you i wouldnt want to move to england, or northern europe, unless you dont mind the weather.

it sucks, but its cool to be able to travel to all different countries around europe pretty easily. france and italy are both awesome

[maybeshewill13]

Pretty sure Americans are the only ones to eat that shit lol..

I love rain I live in arizona.... 110 degree weather isnt fun lol.

Yeah I have been to France and Italy I will have to work on my foreign languages though =/ One reason I would choose to start with England to live lol.

[chips93]

languages are tough

i studied french for 6 years in secondary school (irish equivilant to american high school) and i was pretty good at it, then i went to france about a week ago for easter holidays, and could barely speak a word. most places have decent english though, so its not too bad.

i know a friend of a friend who went to work in germany, and didnt speak the language and hated it, just felt really alone, not being able to communicate with people.

[SunsCaptain]

Ill just use a british accent when i go to other countries.

Im sure it will sound terrible to an English ear but to people who speak another language I will sound like another english bloak with an odd accent.

Then they cant hate me for being American.

:lol

Its a love, hate relationship.

The rest of the world hates us to be popular but loves us secretley.

I get it. :D

If it's wild caught, and frozen, that's fine. Farmed fish, frozen or fresh, is some nasty ish. You don't want to be eating that.

I stick to wild caught canned salmon. Sardines, and herring are cool too, though I haven't had either in a while. I would love to buy fresh wild caught fish, but it's just too damn expensive. I have no idea why.

I'm surprised Nash's breakfast is so low in protein.

i can never taste the difference between farmed or wild fish

all the same to me

[NumberSix]

Pieces of shit? :confusedshrug:

We eat peanut butter, and we eat jam. But jelly is a jiggly dessert.

[Kujo]

It's more about how farm fished are maintained, and what they eat. There fed man made fish pellets, feces, corn, etc. It's just gross. Their not eating there natural diets, so their high in omega 6 fats, and low in omega 3 fats.

I do agree with you taste wise, it's hard to dell the difference with most fish, though I can with salmon.

[SunsCaptain]

Ive never been a fan of PB&J sandwhiches

But

Peanutbutter and Honey sandwhiches.....YES!

Mmmmmmmmmm

once you put some stomach fat on it's hard to get it to go away. I used to be a really serious swimmer and now that I don't do that anymore I've had to work really hard to keep a flat stomach. I'm 6'0 165 for reference

We dont eat peanut butter sandwhiches in Puerto Rico. I never even heard of that blasphemy before I came to the US of A:lol . I love it though, its delicious.

I seen americans put that sh1t in their chicken and I am not even kidding.:roll:

[Phong]

french people dont even have regular sliced bread, they just have baggettes instead :eek:You can find sliced bread in any french supermarket but who would want to eat that instead of a freshly baked baguette and viennoiseries?

[Hittin_Shots]

Just makes it similar tasting to satay.

[stephanieg]

I once saw a video of Big Baby eating pancakes and spaghetti in a single meal. I thought I was gonna get diabetes just from watching.

Man, I would have no energy and be starving and there's no way I get nearly as much of a workout as him. Must be a huge salad.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Most likely similar to a full breakfast what we usually eat. Eggs, HashBrowns, Ham, Waffles/Pancakes, you name it.

[Killbot]

Surprised no one said *****. yet.

Yeah lots of NBA players eat like crap. Like when they show clips of them before games eating pizza, hamburgers, or a plate of fried chicken. I wonder how much better some of these guys could be if they didn't put garbage in their bodies all the time.

[Godzuki]

whatever they serve at strip clubs...
