I either eat a good breakfast, a banana or no breakfast at all. If I do not eat a breakfast I think I tend to snack more throughout the day. When I eat a good breakfast I feel better about my morning. Also because it means that I got out of bed early enough to start my day not in a rush.
A good breakfast gives you energy and fills you up to deal with your morning until lunch. A bad breakfast will not keep you from feeling hungry or worn down before your next meal. While just coffee alone for breakfast may give you that boost if energy you need to get started, it will not last and you will make bad food choices all day without a good start
Making sure we give ourselves the proper fuel at the start of our day allows us to stay alert and active in a sustainable way. Without proper fuel (no breakfast/sugary breakfast), we are setting ourselves up for a crash midday, only souring our daily lives with grogginess.
A rainy, cloudy day can be cheered up by a colourful plate of eggs or fruit attractively arranged to tastefully tempt you to eat healthily from the start of the day. A sunny, bright sky just invites you to take those plates and bowls outside to eat!
I find that I’m in a better mood if I’ve eaten a good satisfying breakfast. It also helps to not go through the day hungry!
For a start it sets you up by thinking that you can make good decisions. That makes it easier to make good decisions about food throughout the day. It also gives you the nutrients you need to have the energy for your work and play, and keeps your blood sugars balanced so that your mood is stable. That will affect all your interactions in a positive way and mean you get more positive energy from those around you.
It sends a signal to your body, first thing, that you are looking out for it and that you will take good care of it again today.
If you eat a poor breakfast, one with high sugar, such as doughnut, your energy will spike, then a few hours later you will crash. When you crash you search for anything that will give you a quick spike again: maybe those candies on your office desk. It just leads to a whole day of low energy.
A good breakfast with protein will give us energy that will last longer into the morning. We won’t have an energy crash and slump shortly after eating. We’ll feel able to move into the day, rather than get the wind knocked out of our sails early on.
It gives me energy throughout the morning. I really can’t get out of the house without breakfast because i get hungry immediately.
