Breakfast Sweets
I have mentioned this before but it's worth repeating. If you need more
calories in the morning before a workout, I like sweet potatoes. These
are a suitable high glycemic load food and they taste great along with my
bowl of fruits, nuts, and leafy greens (with some meet or eggs on the side),
I like to lightly bake a few of the sweet potatoes ahead of time, then slice
them thin and fry them up in some olive oil in the morning when I am going to
ride my bike to work. There are plenty of other ways to add more energy
density. Other foods to consider are bananas and avocados which I also enjoy
for breakfast.
The advantage of these foods over cereal is of course, no acid loading. Sweet potatoes provide energy density but do not result in the leaching of calcium from our bones which the acid loading indicates. In a recent newsletter, Loran Cordain mentioned that, although acid loading is one of the less proven aspects of the paleo diet emphasis, more and more research is confirming this hypothesis. For example, Here is an essay by one of Cordain's colleagues which appeared in the AJCN.
