Breakfast is the most important meal

Our moms told us that when we were growing up. Mom was right! Aren't hungry in the morning? Don't have time? Do you just grab a cup of coffee? Maybe a bagel or muffin? Do you know that it has been proven that if you eat protein in the morning you will consume less calories throughout the day? And that our brains need protein to function properly?

For better health, it's not good to skip meals, because when we do eat we tend to overeat. One of the reasons we aren't hungry in the morning is because we eat too late at night. Those calories don't get burned like they would if they were eaten earlier in the day.

Our bodies should rest or "fast" overnight, then we'll be hungry in the morning...take the time to eat a protein rich break-fast, your brain will thank you and so will your waistline.

BTW: This is especially important for our kids. They will learn more, perform better in school, and grow up strong and healthy.
