Healthy Breakfast Important Meal of the Day
I admit I’ve never been a big breakfast eater. If I had it my way I’d get up, have a cup of coffee with a splash of skim milk, then another cup of coffee and be on my way. I’m just not hungry when I wake up.
But that was then this is now … I no longer skip breakfast because what I have learned is that if I want to train like a champion I have to fuel my body correctly.
Eating breakfast will not only fuel your workouts but can also help you lose weight. The best analogy I can think of is that if your body is a Fire than breakfast is like putting another log in the fire. This will stoke your metabolism to keep burning all day long. Here are some other benefits:
- Increases energy
- Boosts brain power
- Helps keep your blood sugar regulated
- Makes you less likely to overeat a bunch of fatty, carby crap as the day goes on
Here are 7 healthy, quick and easy meal ideas to start the day:
- Get creative with the ideas above.
- Make a list and shop ahead for the week so you have healthy choices on hand.
- Choose seasonal, organic vegetables and fruits.
- Go dairy free and gluten-free if you like.
- Look for low sugar/salt content.
- Substitute olive oil for butter.
- Use seasonings and fresh herbs like chives in the eggs or cilantro in the burrito.
- Have a glass of water with fresh lemon or lemon oil every morning.
