How do you break your fast!

Breakfast is the most important meals for the day. It starts off your energy levels for the day and begins a time base for the rest of the day.

But what do you have for breaky?

I enjoy on a regular basis about a half cup of oats and milk, with a scoop if protein and creatine.

If I'm exercising in the morning I make sure I do it before my breakfast. This is better for me for 2 reasons. 1. More fat burning. 2. No having to wait an hour after eating to exercise.

But some other options that I have had I the past are, egg white omelette., weet-bix, scrambled eggs or yogurt fruit and muesli.

For some out there alternatives to this are equally as good. But some options that you should avoid if you are serious about losing weight and starting your day right are.

Fast food breakfast wraps and sandwiches. Dripping with fat and preservative loaded goodness.

Pretty much every kids cereal on the market. Full of sugar which might work well for a parent on kids as they get energized for school then once at school they crash from the sugar high.

Too much toast. Simple, equals too much carbs and most of the time it is white bread. If you stick to one or two pieces you had better be having eggs with that or you'll find yourself hungry in an hour or two.

Bacon and sausages. Cure for a hangover but the fat content alone should be your warning for how bad these are for you as a breakfast meal.

So if you feel a bit lack luster for energy through the day, perhaps you should look at how it starts and begin adjusting your eating habits.
