There's no such thing as breakfast. Bacon, eggs and toast can boost your testosterone levels, and you'll enjoy it too!

What is the best breakfast for people who want to build muscle and be strong and healthy? Meat of fallow deer, bird eggs, fermented dough and carmellia sinensis leaves dipped in hot water.

What on earth am I talking about, you ask? It's nothing more than the American breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast and a cup of coffee.

I understand most Americans don't look like the prototypical fitness promoter, but this is a perfectly healthy breakfast - if you prepare it right - and for bodybuilding it is excellent!

Details

Eggs

  • Lots of protein. We can agree on that, right?
  • But eggs also contain cholesterol, which is necessary for testosterone production.
  • They also contain vitamin D, B12, selenium, riboflavin, and huge amounts of leucine, which plays a monumental role in protein synthesis.

Bacon

  • It may be considered synonymous with bad eating, but bacon is actually one of the healthiest foods.
  • It is of course rich inprotein and its fat is harmless, if not even healthy.
  • Almost 50% of the fat that washes off when it is cooked is oleic acid, which is the ingredient you worship in olive oil.
  • The rest is stearic acid, which is saturated fat, but the body converts it back to oleic acid
  • Both bacon and eggs contain relatively high amounts of arachidonic acid, which, although sometimes inflammatory, plays an important role in testosterone production.

Toast

  • Not just any toast, but sourdough.
  • Sourdough is made by exposing the dough to millions of lactobacillus bacteria, which creates an extremely nutrient-rich bread.
  • Fermentation also breaks down all the gluten, which makes quite a few people happy.
  • Such bread then contains almost no phytric acid, allowing the gut to absorb most of its nutrients.
  • Fermentation has also changed the molecular structure of the bread, lowering its glycemic index.
  • Toasting only enhances these changes.
  • Spread some butter from grass-fed cows on toast, which contains a lot of linoleic acid (CLA).

Green tea or caffeine

  • Coffee has many health benefits, but green tea is even better for bodybuilders because it burns fat.
  • It will also kick you up just like coffee, but without the added anxiety.

Notes for the end

Yes, eggs, bacon, toast and coffee is an American cliché. But at the same time, it's a breakfast that makes sense, especially for athletes. Here's some advice in closing:

  • Have 4 to 5 eggs (each contains about 6 grams of protein).
  • Have at least 2 to 3 slices of bacon (each contains about 3 g of protein). Make sure it is organic bacon.
  • Spread good quality butter on toast, ideally from grass-fed cows.
  • Steep green tea leaves in water for at least 5 minutes. Take fish oil with it to boost its weight loss effect.
