The Power of a Protein-Packed Breakfast
Hey everyone! We’re going to dive right into breakfast today…the most important meal of the day. We’re sure you’ve heard that old saying a bazillion times, right? Well, it’s a classic for a reason. Let’s break down why.
The Magic of Protein
One vital ingredient in your morning meal? Protein. Why? For starters, it’s not just for bodybuilders! Protein is like the construction worker of your body. It helps to build and repair cells, make enzymes, and support your immune system. Plus, it gives you energy to power through those workouts at the box.
Breakfast–The Champion’s Meal
So, why specifically do we advise you to load up on protein in the morning?
- Keeps you full. Protein takes longer to digest than carbs, which means you’re less likely to get those 10 a.m. stomach growls.
- Maintain muscle. A protein-rich breakfast can help kickstart muscle repair and growth after a morning workout.
- Helps with weight control. When you’re not starving by lunchtime, you’re less likely to overeat.
