In years past, breakfast looked like a bowl of sugary cereal, then it was cereal with a little fiber (the kind you don’t really love but eat anyway because it’s “healthy”…??!), then it was yogurt, then it was some toast, and then I moved to oatmeal…not all in the same meal, mind you (LOL), but over shifts in my nutritional list of “shoulds”. All of these aren’t horrible options, but I realized a few things on my nutrition journey: 1. I was always super hungry shortly afterwards, always looking to munch on more sweets and 2. I discovered I actually like something a little savory in the morning.
Breakfast most every morning these days looks like a hearty helping of eggs with a piece of toast and maybe some chicken breakfast sausage or even Sauerkraut. Yesterday morning after MetCon, I was in a hurry and this leftover dish of chicken, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and plain whole milk yogurt hit the spot.
And why not?! :)) ….It may not be what we consider “traditional breakfast foods” (how did we even determine what those are?!) but it’s totally up to you to decide what works for you! Yesterday, #dinnerforbreakfast worked perfectly for me – I left satisfied, filled with energy, and with much more stable blood sugars than my processed cereal days. I hope this encourages you to break out of the norm and try new ways of eating. You never know what might feel amazing for you!
We really love helping people move, look, and feel more awesome.
