The First Meal Means The Most

By Susanne Marra

The best way to get off to a great start is to eat breakfast. I am sure you heard this growing up. I do not mean coco puffs!
You should try to eat some protein first thing in the morning. It will give you the energy you need to sustain you until you first snack.

My favorite thing for breakfast is a protein shake. It is easy, fast, and I know I am getting the nutrients I need. I use an organic protein powder. This is important because some regular protein powders have protein sources that have been exposed to pesticides antibiotics, and hormones. We do not want to put these things in our bodies if we can avoid it.

Another good option is egg white and turkey on wheat bread rather than white bread. You will get added fiber with whole grain bread and turkey is a great source of protein.

If you love cereal try oatmeal. Oatmeal has a low glycemic index so it will keep you feeling full for quite a while. If you are trying to lose weight is a good choice, especially if you currently eat sugary cereal. You should buy plain rather than flavored oatmeal. The flavored type can have too much sugar in them, or artificial sweetener. You can add a few raisins, apple chunks, and even almonds. All these add great flavor and should keep you satisfied for a while.

A good way to keep you metabolism up is to eat several small meals throughout the day. Grapes are an excellent option with a low glycemic index and high water content, ideal for hydration. Make some healthy snacks to eat during the day. You should always drink water during the day as well. we all need water!
