When asked about breakfast, I realized I have changed my breakfast habits over each decade. I was wondering what your go-to breakfast is? Seems like most people I talk to do one of the following: 1) Skip breakfast, grab the coffee, and go. 2) Do oatmeal with fruit (add boiled egg or yogurt for protein) - my favorite since 40yrs old 3) Go with eggs (bacon or sausage) Where are you on this spectrum of choice? I asked the same question of @nickbarringer.phd.rdn who was helpful with data as well as adding depends on goals, age, health condition, weight management issue...etc. Maybe you have a different breakfast choice? What is yours? Read full article: https://www.military.com/military-fitness/oatmeal-vs-eggs-or-should-you-skip-breakfast

When you go to bed tonight, remember that a group of young men will be staying up all night training in the cold waters off San Diego. They will continue this constant movement until Friday, around noon. Use their efforts to help you get up out of bed tomorrow and get to work - whatever that work is. Here is my hell week story (as well as the year prior to that week of preparation): After reviewing my article archives -- and, more specifically, my Navy SEAL-related articles -- I realized I have written about how to get to BUD/S and what workouts will help you make it through BUD/S, but I never wrote about Hell Week. I received an email this week asking about my Hell Week. It reads, "Stew, do you think SEAL training Hell Week is still as hard as when you were going through BUD/S?" Of course, any old frogman will tell you his Hell Week was the toughest ever, but I have to say that I have seen several Hell Weeks since I graduated from BUD/S in 1992 and they still suck. After talking to some recent BUD/S graduates, we shared Hell Week stories that were as similar today as they were 20 years ago. This article is going to try to explain to those who have not been through Hell Week what it is like and why it is one of the most successful tools in Navy SEAL training in determining a student's desire to serve. First, My last two years of preparation: My last two years at the Naval Academy were spent busting my butt preparing for SEAL training. My 1991 USNA classmates who wanted to go to BUD/S totaled about 50, yet there were only 20 slots. We trained together often during those years prior to graduation. After hearing stories from the USNA Class of 1989 and 1990 BUD/S students as they progressed through BUD/S, we got excited to challenge ourselves like our mentors did.
