As the name implies, you are breaking a fast when you eat breakfast. Glycogen and insulin levels are low when you wake up in the morning, since it has typically been 8 – 12 hours since you last ate. A breakfast of 400 – 500 calories will replenish those glycogen levels and give you the energy you need to begin your work day. In order to raise insulin levels slowly instead of having them spike and then drop dramatically – as in a sugar rush and the weakness you feel a little later – you should combine carbohydrates, protein, and fiber in your breakfast. This will insure slow digestion and long lasting energy levels.
Remember, breakfast can be a large meal for you because you have all day to burn the calories from it. On the other hand, dinner should be your smallest meal, since it’s typically only a few hours before bed time during which you might not even be physically active.
Following is a video I shot explaining what I currently eat for breakfast and why. No cooking involved. Quick, easy, and healthy.
If you liked the video, I’d appreciate your feedback and any suggestions for future videos you’d like to see here. Thank you!
