REBUILT Tips to Balance Breakfast
Today on KAMR Local News!
Breakfast is one of the most make or break meals.
We’re usually in a rush, on the go, or skip it all together.
However, before I share a couple of super easy, balanced combinations for you guys, I want to explain a couple reasons why breakfast is so significant to your progress:
1) Helps balance hormones
2) Balances blood sugar (if balanced properly)
3) Provides organic fuel, aka energy, for your day
All 3 of these reasons will help prevent:
1) Mid-morning and afternoon sugar cravings.
2) Hormonal Choas
3) Drastic Insulin Spikes
So, lets talk about the balance!
I included a cheat sheet for you to use to help create and balance your breakfast! The key is to have a PROTEIN, FAT, AND CARB in this meal.
You will see on the cheat sheet your different options of each of these macronutrients. Your job is to pair them together in a way that works for your morning!
Choose 1 Protein option such as: greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, eggs, or even a fattier protein like bacon or sausage.
Choose 1 Carb Source: Fruit, oatmeal, or whole grain toast
Many will over do breakfast because they’re not mindful or aware of where there fat sources are coming from. Often times we count our fattier protein sources as JUST our protein and forget to mark it as our fat as well.
Using this template, if you have a fattier protein, write that food in the “fat” AND “Protein” square. This will help you not double up on the fat sources.
Id love to hear your combinations and what ideas you come up with!
Some of my easy go to options are: Fruit + Toast, Full Fat Cottage Cheese + Fruit Cup, 2 Eggs (boiled or scrambled) + Oatmeal or Fruit.
