Eat Your Breakfast!

You know what they say- breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I have gone back and forth with fasting through breakfast and eating breakfast, and I have found that what works best for me is to make sure I am eating SOMETHING. When you skip breakfast, you are basically keeping your metabolism in "sleep mode". You want to wake it up as soon as you can so it starts working for you!

BENEFITS OF BREAKFAST

• Increases Metabolism
• Helps to maintain/lose weight
• Enhance your mood
• Stimulate Intelligence
• Enhance your immune system

I find that days when I eat breakfast, I am able to control my hunger more whereas days I skip, I find myself eating way larger portions at night..spacing your calories out throughout the day rather than eating them all right before bed gives your body a chance to burn through them.

Here is my challenge for the week-eat something every morning. I don't care if it is a shake, eggs, meat, oatmeal, whatever...just try it. You should try to make sure to get some protein in there since protein helps keep you full longer and preserves muscle. Below is a super easy go-to breakfast for me with recipe that I eat AT LEAST 3 times a week. The pic isn't the best..I should probably work on taking better food pics :)
