I think proteins are better than carbs when it comes to breakfast. Carbs are good for keeping you full longer, but, proteins are great for energy too. So peanut butter toast or an omelet with potatoes and cheese are great.

I usually prefer to eat carbs. They keep me full for longer and I need my breakfast to last me well into my workday. (And I have an active job)

No, they are not important for breakfast and should be avoided. Wrongly, many people believe they are needed for energy. Indeed, they are a source of energy but an inefficient one. Fats and proteins are much more efficient at keeping you full and slowly releasing energy.

What are you attempting to eat in the morning? Oatmeal has 27grams of carbs Skillet potatoes have 37grams Greek yogurt has 6grams. It’s kinda difficult to leave carbs out unless you are on a very strict meal plan. My philosophy on food, be conscious of the amount of food you eat, and then burn off the calories. I use my built in samsung health app to determine if I’m getting enough calories and in which food groups and nutrition values. There are a lot of app options out there that do this. I have difficulty getting enough calories in my meals each day. I burn too much. I’m 40 years old. 5'6 and 122 lbs. Don’t worry about carbs unless you have a carb addiction...then you should seek a nutritionist' help.

No, carbs or breads aren’t as important as getting longer lasting feud in your. It’s. Think about things that take longer to digest, like protein, fruits and vegetables.

Carbs make it easier for longer bursts of energy. Although I should ensure I’m getting healthier bread (wholegrains) and should see alternatives.

I like a well balanced meal for breakfast. Protein, carbs and fat. Good healthy fat. If I don’t eat carbs for breakfast I get tired really fast and then end up eating more calories throughout the day.

I prefer a high protein and healthy fats in the morning . Typically it’s coffee with butter , mct oil , gelatin, collagen, medicinal mushroom powder , turmeric. And 3 eggs.

I used to eat toast for breakfast. With butter! That was a long time ago. After a lot of reading and experimenting I always start breakfast (after coffee!) with protein. Hard boiled eggs or a tablespoon of peanut butter without the bread. I usually follow with fresh fruit. Sometimes I will have a high protein waffle with thawed raspberries on top. I feel better and have fewer hunger pangs during my morning.

I do prefer carbs for breakfast as it gives me a satisfied feeling of being full and it’s convenient is some cases. Whether it’s important for breakfast, I’m not sure.
