“Now it’s time to get my first meal of the day. Like I said earlier, I’ve had the same meal every single morning for the past 10 years,” he shared. “My last show I got down to 1,800 calories and it was so, I’m 6’0″ so I was sluggish man. Didn’t feel good. Right now, 2,300 calories a day.”
- 3 Whole Eggs (19 grams protein, 1 gram carbs, 14 grams fat)
- Egg substitute (or egg whites) 1 Cup (24 grams protein, 4 grams carbs, 0 grams fat)
- Avocado Oil
- Old Fashioned Oats 1 Cup (10 grams protein, 54 grams carbs, 6 grams fat)
- Blueberries 1/2 Cup (1 gram protein, 9 grams carbs, 0 grams fat)

Why Did Jeff Seid Choose These Ingredients?
Eggs — A powerhouse of nutrition, eggs provide high-quality protein and healthy fats. The protein supports muscle growth and repair while the fats provide sustained energy levels.
Egg whites — A lean source of protein with minimal fat. Helps preserve muscle mass with added calories.
Avocado Oil — Rich in monounsaturated fats, avocado oil offers a quick energy source, aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, promoting better performance and recovery.
Old Fashioned Oats — Slow digesting carbs allowing for a steady release of energy. Oats contain fiber, which aids digestive health and regulates blood sugar.
Blueberries — Loaded with antioxidants and natural sugars. Offers a quick energy boost and helps manage exercise-induced oxidative stress.
Salt — Replenishes electrolytes through sweating while helping maintain proper hydration and muscle function.
Pepper — Mild anti-inflammatory properties, helps support overall workout performance and recovery.
Typically, Seid enjoys this meal with a variety of vegetables but opted to keep it simple.
“Usually I’ll have vegetables in here, I’ll have like peppers, onions, spinach, mushrooms, didn’t bring it up, little different today. But, I also like to have frozen stuff versus fresh, the only preference for that is I’m doing the same thing every single morning and blueberries would get moldy and stuff and it’s a little bit easier.”
“This is going to be my pre-workout meal, going to eat this and get good energy,” he shared.
