just returned from the 2014 perform better functional training conference which was sold out, very well done and inspiring. although there was only one presentation on nutrition (by dr. christopher mohr) my thoughts on having a better breakfast were validated (see my post from 4/8). besides eating a healthy breakfast he also talked about getting more protein into that meal-ideally 1/3 of your daily protein requirement. it might just be that by making this one adjustment to your diet you will consume fewer calories during the day and that will, over time, result in -you guessed it -weight loss!
so consider making your better breakfast even better by including more protein. even if you are not concerned about weight loss having your protein balanced throughout the day is a better option than what most americans do which is to overload on protein at dinner with hardly any at breakfast and only slightly more at lunch. i realize that part of the reason for this is the rush to get going in the morning when it is easier to just eat on the run or do fast food. but even if your time is limited there are always healthier choices-shakes can be made the night before, low sugar protein bars, hard boiled eggs. even trader joe's has frozen oatmeal with quinoa that just gets popped into the microwave. better choices create better health and more energy throughout the day. most people know this but why aren't they doing it? do you?
