How do I keep my focus prior to making breakfast in the kitchen? I find myself easily distracted. Also, how can I incorporate more protein in the morning?

Different people have different ways in maintaining their focus. As for me, I would put some sticky notes with motivational quotes around the kitchen. I also set picture of my ideal body as my wallpaper, as a constant reminder what my goal is. For protein, I take protein shake and egg. Maybe you could goggle what protein based food is available at your local groceries stores and plan your meal for the week. Make full use with whatever you have at the moment.

First- put away your phone! It is so important to focus on the importance of food- rather it’s taste. Yes, taste is important- but by putting meaning behind your food, you stay focused. For example- think” I must stay focused on making breakfast because it will fuel me for the day.” Also- by investing in plant based protein- which does not have harsh chemicals and unhealthy ingredients- one can easily add it to a bowl of oatmeal, a smoothie, etc:) good luck<3

For the first question, I have no idea. I feel hungry in the morning and automatically focus on cooking. Maybe you ate too much yesterday evening? Protein powder is a convenient approach to add protein.

Using the alarm on this app really helps to keep me from getting distracted. If I do get distracted then the alarm brings me back to what I should be doing, like making breakfast. A good way to incorporate more protein into my breakfast is by eating eggs, yogurt and nut butters.

I am not sure about how not to get distracted. I would go for a solid habit always in the sales order. Also, you can prepare breakfast the day before. To incorporate more protein, prepare eggs, bacon, egg muffins, or eat a chicken sandwich for instance.

I believe having a focus on your first step is really a great way to avoid getting distracted. For example, every morning the first thing do is to turn on the coffee machine, or heat water for tea. Basically creating a routine with few basic steps that you can do every morning. I find that usually helps stick to the kitchen routine. For protein, if you are ok with mixing in a protein supplement, I highly suggest drinking a protein shake every morning. Another good example is a quick egg scramble which packs in a great dosage of protein. Even foods like flavoured low calorie Greek yogurt can do wonders

I haven’t worked this out to perfection yet, myself, but for me it’s about not starting my daily "things" until I’m sitting down with a plate or bowl of breakfast *at* those things. So, don’t open the laptop until I’m sitting down with a bowl of oatmeal and plain yogurt. Protein inclusions are pretty easy for me. Make a point to create an auto-pass mentality regarding carbs in your kitchen. They may belong elsewhere, but not in breakfast. Oatmeal (non-packet kind) with a scoop of plain yogurt or peanut butter in it adds an interesting spin on oatmeal. Long burning carb + long burning and potent fuel source of protein = *great* start to the day. To go above and beyond with long lasting energy, grab a B Complex vitamin that’s properly bioavailable (which you’ll need to do a little research on). This routine sets my day on fire.

I have bought a big tub and have filled it with dried fruit, nuts and seeds (I make around 2-3 weeks worth at a time!) I have a handful each morning for my breakfast - it’s a quick way to add protein and takes 'no time' to make so I won’t get distracted.

I always prepare stuff for breakfast in the evening so I don’t have to do much in the morning. In the weekends I take a lot of time to prepare and eat, always eggs and some veggies, wholegrain bread, the whole shabang. During the week I try to make it simple, oats and flax seeds in yoghurt and fresh fruits.
