Why is breakfast so important?

Happy Friday! I know that it has been a while since i've blogged but I am going to start back, thanks to confirmation from a good friend. 😉


So I know you've heard the hype about never skipping breakfast or breakfast is the most important meal of the day.. But why? Studies show that those who typically eat breakfast every morning, around the same time and the same foods weigh less than others who don't. Well I can admit I am not a scientist but I have found these studies to be accurate in my lifestyle. I workout every morning at the same time and whenever I am close to finishing my morning workout my stomach starts to growl. So why is it every morning at the exact same time my body does this? I believe I have trained my body to become accustomed to eating breakfast. Although when I eat breakfast, it's hardly ever a snack bar or cereal. I always make sure to fuel my body after a intense workout. My breakfast usually consists of high fiber and protein such as; eggs, oatmeal, turkey sausage/bacon, etc. These foods are very common in my diet and not only help to fuel my muscles but also helps in  keeping me regular.. (TMI I know!) Being the most important meal of the day breakfast should never be skipped, besides it's the first meal you'll burn off anyway. I have attatched a picture of my typical everyday breakfast. It's not only nutritional but it also doesn't take much time to prepare. (For those who have a busy lifestyle, like myself.) 

Time: 10 minutes
Turkey bacon, fried with extra virgin olive oil.
Eggs and spinach seasoned with red pepper, crushed black pepper and Mrs.Dash with added natural salsa for extra flavor.
Whole wheat waffle, no butter, toasted with strawberries and honey or light syrup. (be mindful of the serving size, I usually just drizzle.)
YOU have breakfast.. Enjoy! 


I hope that everyone has a great day and a even better weekend!
