Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Whether you're a coffee only person or you eat a light bar in the mornings, you are pretty much guaranteeing fat gain if you skip breakfast. Maybe you are somewhat conscious that eating in the mornings is vital for fat loss, you might still be causing a delay in your results. How so?

Well, you know it's important to eat a morning meal to jump-start metabolism, but if you're not eating enough you won't reap this benefit. Women should aim for 300 to 400 calories at breakfast, and men should try to eat around 400 to 500 calories. A breakfast that's too small could leave you feeling sluggish for the rest of the day and can also make you overeat at the next meal. To stay satisfied, include a mix of whole grains and lean protein with some healthy fats in your morning meal – in other words, a packet of oatmeal or a piece of fruit or a breakfast bar, each coming in at under 200 calories, simply won't cut it.

Solution: Offset the carbohydrates you eat at breakfast with a protein. Try oatmeal with a side of 4 egg whites + 1 yolk, or a protein shake with a side of sprouted grains bread toasted with some almond butter. Protein rounds out your meal nutritionally, and a study published in the International Journal of Obesity showed that high-protein breakfasts helped control appetite throughout the day. Also, choose whole-grain carbohydrates. Research in the journal Public Health Nutrition indicates that eating whole grains may lower the risk of obesity and weight gain.

If you are looking to stay committed and motivated to support your nutrition to match your fat loss goals, then you absolutely need to make smart choices with your foods
