You may not feel hungry in the morning or you might be short on time, but skipping breakfast can have
undesirable effects. Your body tries to draw on your reserves of nutrients and water which it needs to
function properly but which have been depleted during the night. If you don’t eat anything, you are likely to
feel tired and hungry a little later and want to snack on such things as chocolate or sweet coffee or biscuits
to find some energy and raise your sugar level. Once more, the ups and downs of this vicious circle can
affect your weight and well-being in the long-term.
Breakfast supplies our body longer lasting vital nutrients, water and energy. A healthy breakfast
which includes protein can help you feel fuller for longer and helps to avoid mid morning snacking.
A well-balanced breakfast providing sustainable energy and the right nutrients can help keep you body
in equilibrium during the day and contribute notably to better weight management and well being in the
long term.
This is what Ive been told - hope it helps you - I have a protein shake each brekky - 150 cals and 25g protein - really yummy
What you have been told is wrong. Have a look at the leangains link elsewhere in this thread myth #70 -
I must be weird. If I have anything carb-heavy (fruit, bagels, etc), I am STARVING 2-3 hours later. I usually skip breakfast or eat only eggs and bacon or something like that.
Sofar, no detrimental effects on my weight loss as long as I keep my macros where I want them and my total daily intake below my goal range.0 -
The right answer is: Your required daily calorie allottment can be broken down anyway that suits you and helps you sustain a routine that keeps you on target for your daily calorie goals. easy peasy. Basically, there is no right answer.0
