Is it bad to have carbs in the morning?

[Anonymous]

I had a large bowl of cereal (Kashi GoLean) and a peice of whole wheat toast with half organic peanut butter and half of it with Manuka honey. I know I probably shouldn't have had the cereal but I am going on a 6-mile run and doing weight lifting so I wanted to get some energy. I am trying to lose weight though. Should I have only veggies and protein the rest of the day after my workout? I was thinking of making a green juice with kale and spinach and snacking on celery, carrots, and cucumber. And for protein some lean ground turkey.

If you're going to have carbs then the best time to have it is in the morning. What you had wasn't entirely bad at all.

Since you're going running and doing some weightlifting, you will definitely need protein and veggies. However, you can still have complex carbs such as whole wheat bread and brown rice.

No, you're fine. Eating mainly veggies and fruit in the morning can make you really hungry in an hour or so. You should be balanced, carbs aren't the devil they're really good for you. But ground turkey with a lot of veggies seems okay! But for dinner, I try to eat rice and such for dinner and whatever protein on a bed of dark leafy greens throw in some potatoes

Nope. It is definitely not bad to have carbs in the morning especially If you will be exercising. Carbs give you energy.

There was a couple times where I only had a fruit smoothie for my post workout and after I felt lightheaded. However when I put carbs back into my diet, this problem didn't come back.

complex carbs is brain food, you need carbs, so its not bad, especially in the morning. just make sure to pick your complex carbs wisely.

No, carbs are perfect for quick energy that you needed for your workout. Carbs are your body's main source of energy, don't deprive yourself of carbs.

It's fine. Carbs aren't evil. I think look at it from the perspective of your overall calorie intake per day and keeping your sugars/enriched flours restricted.
