As a Weapon of Mass Construction
Sumo wrestlers credit chanko-nabe—a chunky stew of vegetables, broth, noodles, and meat or seafood-for their girth. They down it as a late breakfast after training for several hours, and while it clearly bulks up the 300-plus pounders, the meaty mixture contains nothing controversial. (In fact, many restaurants in Japan serve a similar dish.) Protocol demands that junior grapplers cook the dish daily for the champs, who get first dibs. One famous wrestler is said to have consumed 65 bowls of it-that's about 29 pounds of beef-in a single sitting. Lucky for him, the next scheduled activity after chanko-nabe is a nap.

Just thought I’d suggest another breakfast option – The Original Weetabix Biscuit from Barbara’s Bakery offers a great source of whole grains, and Crispy Flakes and Crispy Flakes & Fiber are great for those who crave a bit more crunch. All are organic, packed with wholesome nutrition, and made without any artificial ingredients, hydrogenated oils or trans fats. More info at www.barbarasbakery.com. Thanks, Shaina with the team at Barbara's Bakery :)

Just in case you're looking for some simple & organic breakfast options for the morning, consider Van's Organic Frozen Waffles. Made from all natural ingredients, these waffles are free of dairy, eggs, trans fat and preservatives. Or, keep in mind Eggology's new organic Hardboiled Eggs or their On-the-Go Egg Whites - organic scrambled egg whites ready in 95 seconds in the microwave. More info at VansFoods.com & Eggology.com.
