Oh! breakfast
..All of us know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day,but opinions can vary when it comes to what
should we actually eat first thing in the morning.Somebody would
recommend cereals,somebody fried eggs with bacon,I know there is people
who eat nothing else but fruit for breakfast,and then those bodybuilders
who would just drink 1 liter of eggwhites mixed in water (yak). But how
should ideal breakfast look like..?
I personally advise to eat good amount of protein
for breakfast.It doesn't matter if you are working out or not,your body
needs protein to build muscle,and it actually needs much more protein
than you can imagine.If you are interested in weight loss here is some
good news-resting metabolism increases about 20% if your breakfast
calories are at least 30% of protein.The problem is,most of the people
don't eat enough protein nowadays.You should get around 80g of protein
per day depending on your weight and level of physical activity.In
average,people consume only 40-50g/day.
So
I would go with few hard-boiled eggs with beans and spinach for
example.How many eggs?Depends on your size again,generally you can use
your fist as a measure-for
me,that means 2 eggs :) (2 whole eggs=about 12g of protein) Why beans?
Any legume-beans,lentils chick peas etc. contain a lot of soluble
fiber, protein, carbohydrates, folate and iron.What about spinach?
"One
cup of raw spinach contains 27 calories, 0.86 grams of protein, 30
milligrams of calcium, 0.81 grams of iron, 24 milligrams of magnesium,
167 milligrams of potassium, 2813 IUs of Vitamin A and 58 micrograms of
folate."

What
if you have difficulties with eating eggs early in the morning? You
have two options-you learn to eat them,take your time,it might take
couple of days to proceed this :) There is plenty of ways how to cook
eggs,and I am sure you will find the one that suits you best.You can eat
eggs in form of omelet,pancake(oh really ?!) fried eggs,scrumbled
eggs,poached eggs..
Option
number 2 is-get the protein from some other source-this might be
cottage cheese,quark or if you really can´t eat anything solid,have a
protein smoothie!( fruit smoothie with vanilla protein powder for
example) And never ever skip the breakfast,your future youself will
thank you ;)
