There really is nothing like a good breakfast to start your day off right. A balanced and nutritious breakfast can provide you with all of the energy you need to get through your day, or at least the first half. That is why breakfast is my absolute most favorite meal! I occasionally tend to worry less about caloric intake during breakfast, within reason of course, often making it my highest caloric meal of the day.
In my experience, when you eat well during breakfast, meaning lots of protein, good fats, and whole grain carbohydrates, you will burn more fat throughout the day. This can be attributed to a revved up metabolism and energy level as well as a suppression of calories in later parts of the day when the body generally starts to slow. Simply ration the remainder of your calorie limit for the day based on what you have remaining after breakfast.
For instance, say you have a 1,500 calorie limit, you could ration your calories out like this:
• 450 Breakfast
• 150 Snack
• 300 Lunch
• 150 Snack
• 300 Dinner
Below are some of my favorite breakfast dishes which I like to rotate regularly. They are absolutely delicious, leaving nothing to be desired, and are packed full of balanced nutrition.
