Sausage McGriddles step aside… there’s a new kid in town who’s ready to rule the breakfast world!
Do you eat breakfast?
Yes? …. No?
If you answered no, why not? Don’t worry, this isn’t a quiz! I’m just doing a little field research to see what hinders you from engaging in what I feel is the BEST meal of the day!
There’s plenty of research out there that shows kicking off your day with a balanced breakfast will set you up for success. Breaking the fast (cough cough… break-the-fast) from your night’s slumber is crucial in supporting a healthy metabolism to maintain your weight. Plus, when you supply your body with a mix of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats in the morning, you become satiated and are less likely to ravenously dive into the plate of nachos at lunch.
Over 50% of Americans report knowing its important to incorporate breakfast into their daily routines, however less than a third actually do. Why?
Yep, you’re absolutely right… TIME! Most Americans report not having enough time to fit breakfast into their schedules. Ironically though, we do find time to squeeze in a cup of coffee. Somehow we can remember to program our coffee machines or head over to see our local barista in the morning, right?
How can we change our thoughts and program our habits to include breakfast? Bingo- plan ahead! You know mornings are chaotic, so prepare a few options on a Sunday night to grab on your way out the door in the AM.
Say you grilled up or broiled some lean sirloin steaks over the weekend. The lean protein in this beef makes an excellent breakfast sandwich and provides a healthy mix of protein and fat to kick your morning off right. Put the beef strips on top of a whole grain English muffin with a little jelly, cream cheese and a fried egg… do I hear a YUMMY?!
This combination will blow those drive-thru breakfast sandwiches out of the water and leave you feeling full, satisfied and charged to take on the day. Plus, you can save that $5 you would have spent dining out and spend it on something special, like the new outfit you’ll fit into from boosting that metabolism!
Happy Break-fasting!
