Other says that in the morning you should eat like a king and in the lunch should eat like a prince and in the evening should eat like a servant
However much makes you feel full, but not so full you feel sick. Most important I think is to keep the foods in your breakfast varied. Include fruits/vegetables and cut back the amount of carbs/protein if necessary (to not overeat, I mean). I definitely feel the difference in my body on days I have lots of vegetables in the morning to when I don’t.
I think that varies by person. If your breakfast leaves you feeling heavy and tired, you might want to try eating something lighter. However, if you’re regularly hungry an hour after breakfast, try eating something with more fiber and protein that’s a bit more substantial. Personally, I usually can’t eat much in the morning. I’m just not very hungry most days. Sometimes, I just grab a banana. Other days, I wait an hour or two after getting up, and then go for a bowl of multigrain oatmeal with dried plums, walnuts, and bananas. If I’m really hungry, I might do a breakfast sandwich, but that’s rare.
An ideal breakfast will be enough food to keep you full until lunch, while also balancing carbs & starches, protein, and fats. For example, eating just pancakes is not a good everyday breakfast because it is mostly carbs and fats, but eating a pancake and also an egg allows for a better balance. For me, I need my morning breakfasts to be fast and easy as well, so I usually will eat an egg and some kind of fresh fruit or smoothie.
Breakfast is something that starts your day. When you wake up from my long long sleep of near about eight hours (if you want to be healthy you must sleep eight hours) you are completely less with energy and to boost your day and lose the fatigue that may degrade your day you must take a healthy breakfast. This breakfast, of which you’re asking about does not depend on anyone, you must take enough food at the start of your day to feed your hunger ... 😄
However much makes you feel full and happy and healthy to get on with the day! Listen to your body and it needs, and try to at least get your fruit and fibre in!
It depends on what you are eating. Two eggs max are recommended only per day. It’s more about eating a balance and as I’m in my 40’s just enough to feel satisfied and get me through to the next meal.
I have to force myself to eat an egg and fruit in order to get my body going for the day. I think you should eat just enough to give you that kickstart you need!
Enough to keep you going but not so much that you feel stuffed or sluggish. Adjust for your metabolism and other personal factors.
I vary it depending on my time on the weekend when I have more time I will eat a larger breakfast including protein like eggs, uncured sausage or bacon, or salmon or trout a good steal cut oatmeal and fruit seeds and nuts. On the week days it’s fruit, seeds nuts and either oatmeal, a bagel or yogurt.
