Beautiful Breakfast for a Beautiful Day
As a typical night owl sleeping through typical breakfast hours, it was a challenge to incorporate breakfast into my routine. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but not for the reason you may typically think. Your daily intake and expenditure will guide your energy balance, but how you start your day impacts how you’ll end.
Consequences of skipping breakfast:
Your body is programmed to be most active during the day and will process food more efficiently. Do you expect to perform your best off just coffee?
Pushing meals later in the day means eating when you’ll have less mental energy to make healthy choices.
Eating large meals close to bedtime disrupts sleep quality. Aim to stop eating about three hours before bed.
Combatting common roadblocks:
🛑 I don’t have time to make breakfast first thing in the morning.
☀️ You can prepare the night before.
🛑 It’s not easy to get an appetite in the morning.
☀️ You can have a little food and slowly ramp up.
🛑 I don’t like eating [insert typical breakfast food] in the morning.
☀️ Anything with macronutrients counts as breakfast.
The start of a new day is like a new year on a smaller scale. It’s full of possibilities; why not seed it with your best intentions?
I’m not one for monotony; I don’t eat the same thing daily. However, to set myself up for success, I have handy recipes for specific occasions, whether savory or sweet, refreshing or hearty.
