Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s easy to skip if it’s not part of your routine; if you are trying to maintain or lose weight, make it part of your routine. Of course the quality of the meal is important. Breakfast jumpstarts the metabolism and sets the stage for your energy stores for the day. I’m a big fan of big breakfast often including a fruit or vegetable with protein and a whole grain. If you are not a morning person, plan ahead to make sure you make a great start to your day.
Below are a few ideas to keep in your back pocket:
Avocado Toast:
- Multi-grain bread
- Avocado
- Protein of choice (bacon, smoked salmon, egg or multiples)
Overnight Oats
- Oats
- Milk
- Frozen berries
- Spices like cinnamon or sweeteners like honey
Morning Muffins (can bake a dozen!)
- Egg
- Cheese
- Yellow or green onion
- Protein of choice (bacon, sausage, ground beef, seafood
Sandwiches
- Egg McMuffin at home with protein of choice
- Nut Butter and Banana
