What is Great Breakfast exactly? How do you manage the menu every day so each meal isn’t interrupted?

I think it depends on how busy you are! They say eggs and fruit but if you don’t have time, I’ve also done oatmeal with peanut butter and fruit. It takes maybe 2 minutes to prepare and then I can eat it, and even pack it up on the go. Sometimes I add protein powder to the oatmeal to make sure I’m getting enough protein. Sometimes I also add Jelly if I want it to taste a little sweeter that day. So long as you’re eating protein and healthy sugars, I think it’s ok to do whatever suits your needs best.

Great breakfast is one to energize you and keep you full for the rest of the day. I used to eat little to no breakfast because a proper breakfast would "make me feel gross or overfull". But really if you take the time to have something nice and healthy and filling, then it will energize you and keep you from snacking on unhealthy foods such as chocolate or overeating at dinner, for example.

A Great Breakfast has a decent amount of protein eg. meat and eggs and low amount of sugar. Putting the phone aside helps. Or sharing it with someone you love.

I try to get a hearty breakfast rich in protein and fat, but low on sugar. It keeps me full till lunch and provides good fuel. Avoid things that make you sleepy. Balance it out with fruit. A cup of tea to kick start the day with low sugar.

Well, I would think if you want to have a good breakfast you would need to have enough carbs and portion it out with fruits and vegetables and grains.

Protein, fat and carbs. Not just carbs in the form of sugar. Make the meal simple so it’s easy to put together and not a chore or too time consuming. Also, make it a priority over what is interrupting you.

For me, a great breakfast is something that will keep me full for a long time so I don’t start thinking about food before lunchtime. You should eat foods that release their energy slowly and keep you full for longer, such as eggs, oatmeal, Greek yoghurt, seeds and nuts or avocado. Often these foods have a good amount of protein or fat and less sugar. If you’re short on time in the morning, a good idea would be to make some breakfast muffins in advance that you can keep in the freezer and grab and go, or prepare overnight oats by placing yoghurt, fruit and nuts and oats/chia seeds in a jar or bowl in the fridge overnight that is ready for you in the morning.

I tend to fall back on a hard boiled egg and cottage. That gets me about 20 grams high value protein without an excess of sugar.

Something with plenty of protein but simple to make. A simple but filling breakfast is allows for consistency for every morning.

I now drink a glass of water first thing every morning. I usually make my lunch & breakfast the night before. Breakfast: Fruit&Protein banana with PB, piece of fruit with a handful of almonds, walnuts or cashews. Hardboiled eggs …..
