I am agree that proteins are important in the morning. Personnaly I’m on a low carb diet and eat some eggs with a salad for the breakfast
Personally I can’t imagine skipping breakfast - I wouldn’t be able to focus in the mornings, and would become so cranky by lunch! But understandable that sometimes it’s unavoidable, or just easier. I’d always say start the say with some simple protein based meal, whatever suits your diet - bulk cook some of your favourites to grab and go! Good luck :)
I used to not eat breakfast and since I started eating a good and healthy breakfast I feel more energetic and awake the whole day.
Your mind needs food .. so you get energy from food and protein takes more time to be digested into your gut than carbs so pls would you eat some protein meals in the early morning to keep you fill and focused ? Oatmeal with fruits ....eggs and cheese and vegetables Oh yummy
I’m bad at eating breakfast. I believe it’s good to have something in the morning whether that’s protein or not. The first step for me is to eat something then slowly transition onto protein once I’m in the habit of eating in the mornings.
I used to do the same thing, I would have a glass of milk and some biscuits. Though it was enough. Once I started having breakfast, I felt more energetic and I could stay focused for a longer time.
I think that having a healthy breakfast with some protein is a great way to start the day. It tends to give me much needed energy and the protein helps to keep me full and not overeat at lunchtime or graze before dinner. I try and get a decent breakfast in at a reasonable time every day, but with my early starts for work (3:30am), it is a bit early in the morning for me to get a meal down, so sometimes my first meal isnt until 12pm. It is a lot like a 16:8 fast pretty much daily, but if I know work is going to be full on for that day i will have a small handful of nuts to tide me over. It is completely what works for you, your body and your schedule, but I feel it is important to have that first meal of the day healthy with protein, to set yourself up for a day of clean eating.
I think this is true. I do struggle with eating in the morning as well but I started drinking coffee/tea first and then have food.
That’s true, also consider your body type ie either you’re an ectomorph, mesomorph, Endormorph which determines the amount of carbohydrate you need for a good energy reserve and deter unnecessary snacking. read more on the subject.
I skipped breakfast everyday for years. It feels convenient when you are rushing out to get your day started, but that is shortsighted. Learning to grab even a simple breakfast helps solve several problems for me. First, it motivates me to get up a little earlier as I started looking forward to this meal. Second, it helps me be more productive when I get started on my work. Third, I am making better choices for lunch since I am not as hungry. And finally, I am not as snacky in the evening since I have a good breakfast to look forward to.
