What Physique Pros Eat for Breakfast | Steven Cao's High Protein Egg Scramble
hey what's up muscle and strengthIFBB Pro Steven Cao here from BPI today
I'll be showing you guys what I used formy pre contest breakfast so I'm sure you
guys well be cooking today
when I'm prepping for a show I try tokeep things very you know creative that
way I don't get tired of eating the samefoods so I try to mix things up and
throwing like little things to make ittaste better so first thing I'll be
doing like a handful of spinach for the mostpart I have a coach that actually
manages my diet and I just follow whathe puts on the plan and I'll add in
little things to make it taste betterbut for the most part I'll be following
the plan usually even if I'm notprepping for a show the food will be
pretty much the same but I will havemore carbs like I'll throw in some rice
cakes with maybe some peanut butter justto have more food because you know I'm
not in the deficit but for the most partmy offseason and pre-contest diet is
pretty much the same it's just morecarbs or the lesser carbs and just
varies always use a scale when I do theegg whites just to make it really
accurate
Oh 10 ounces I just throw it in therejust add 10 ounces of egg whites and
then I'll do 3 whole eggs you know thenI'll do one serving of this it says 2 ounces
per serving so I'll do the same thingI'll just weigh it out just like this make
sure you tear it so it's on zero andthen you just pick add just put a lot
actually
you just stir it up a little bit I'lltry to make it like an omelet so it's
like it's pretty big and usually I'lleat this meal and then I wait about
maybe up to three hours and then I'llhave my pre-workout meal two to three
hours depends on how I feel but thisshould hold me off for a few hours I
always try to make my breakfast mybiggest meal because typically I would
do fasted cardio when I first wake upand then you know my body's literally
just starving for foodso right away I try to get in a really
dense meal right after I do my fastercardio while this is cooking up I'll get
my oats ready so that way both here atthe same time I usually just do a packet
of this cinnamon and spiced oats andthen I'll add just a tiny bit of water throw it on a
microwave for about three minutes
so this is pretty much done it's kind oflike this I try to make it look
like a omelette but sometimes it doesn'tcome out that way so be like I like
scrambled eggs and then this it says 28grams per serving pour it right over the top
just like this so just to make it just alittle cheesy er because it makes the
eggs it's better I'll just put it rightover the top I like to do these little
tricks just because it's moresustainable when you're dieting
especially if you're doing like a12-week prep for a show you want to be
on a diet that you can maintain for along period that way you can keep up
with it I feel because I've done prepsbefore where especially like my first
show I would put no seasoning there justbe like just straight-up plain and for
me mentally it gets tougher because Ijust it doesn't taste as good you
know and just doing these little thingsit makes it takes like 10 times better
and it doesn't really have that bad ofan effect it's pretty much along the
lines of what my coach wants me to use
when I did my first show I was cluelessabout cooking to be honest with you and
then as I did more shows you know Istarted watching more YouTube videos on
how to cook certain things and he's gotreally creative with it so it makes it
actually a lot funner too especially instead of just eating plain old food I like
to you know mix it up and add certainthings and for my oats I like to add a
little bit of some ground cinnamon justto make it taste better I'll be adding
half a scoop of I say HD so it's about25 grams per scoop so half of this will
probably like twelve point five grams ofprotein I just do for the taste this it
makes it taste a lot better when I make myoats I'll put a little bit more water
than usual that way it's more runny sowhen I add you know a half a scoop of
protein it makes it mix a lot better andit just tastes a lot better too it's
more volume whereas if I were just putit's like a lesser amount of water with
the oats it comes out really dry andjust really hard and not that pleasant to
eat so those are just like little tricksthat make it no taste better
alright guys when I eat my eggs I wouldlike to add like you know some kind of
sauce to make it taste better tootypically I wouldn't cut out you know
sodium at all when I prep for show isactually more essential for me because I
it actually keeps me full so I'm runninglow in sriracha
but I'll be adding a little bit ofsriracha to my eggs just to have you
know more flavor to it and as far as youknow it's the sauces as long as there's
no sugars and carbs or fats if it's justpretty much like you know zero calories
you'll be fine I'll also be adding somewith
pink saly I'll actually be adding it tomy oats too just to have a little kick
to it but yeah this is my breakfast
