Never miss your breakfast!

Breakfast really is ‘The Most Important Meal of The Day!’. But only if you eat well throughout. The benefits of eating a good solid breakfast are lost if you then don’t eat until late at night. So, control your diet as well!

Your breakfast is your starting point. It gives your energy level, as well as your metabolism, a kick start, and gets you into gear. By eating your first meal of the day, breakfast, when you wake up, you are ensuring that your body and brain are getting the nutrients and minerals it needs to function effectively.

You should be looking at getting between 25-30% of your daily calorie intake at breakfast. By eating a good breakfast, with a high level of both carbohydrates and protein you are allowing your body to re-fuel and re-build, with the added effect of reducing hunger through the day due to the high level of protein. This is because protein, in general, takes a lot longer to digest than carbohydrates, and therefore is in your system for a longer period of time. This in turn is a very effective tool when trying to lose weight as well as gain muscle and bulk up.

Overall, breakfast is a must!
