Why pancakes?

big_byrd52 · May 7, 2003

Why does everyone say to eat pancakes for breakfast the morning of the show? Is there some reason or does it just sound good? I would rather have some sweet potato bread(sweet potatos, oatmeal, and a banana) or some hash browns scattered, smothered and covered from Waffle House.

I am guessing because its a mix of simple and complex carbs, is fairly dry, but u could eat just about anything that fits that description.

I am 10 weeks into my pre-comp diet, and getting extremely lean already. This past weekend, I had to work late, I had been on low carbs for a few days so was definitely depleted. It was 3AM, I was so freakin hungry I stopped for breakfast at a diner. Got some scrambled egg whites and a short stack of pancakes. I drowned them in syrup! It was like heaven! The next morning when I got up (6 hours later) I was so much more vascular, full, tight, cut, almost like I was ready to go onstage then!
I will be hitting IHOP after weigh-ins the morning of my show.

i personally dont agree on that pancake thing, but if it works for you body go for it.

Thats why im asking, i dont even really like pancakes. i figure anything with a mix of carbs and dry would do the trick.

dreaming of pancakes

I counting the days: 16 and I am eating pancakes. I think that if you reduce Na that last week and dry out the pancakes and sausage that Wylde recommends helps replenishes Na in addition to carbs, and helps with pumps and vascularity.
I know opinions vary on this, but I am planning on reducing sodium as much as possible from Monday until that preshow breakfast. I would like to hear opinions on this...
Thx,
