Put Protein first:
30 daily tips for busy parents who want to stay strong & sane.
Day 2:
It doesn’t matter what time you eat breakfast, whether it’s 5am or 11am, my advice is that you always Put Protein first…
Why?
1)Natural appetite control:
Protein will keep you feeling fuller for longer. This helps to reduce the likelihood of you snacking/overeating later in the day. This can lead to a natural reduction in overall calorie intake, which is essential for fat loss.
2)Thermic effect of food (TEF):
Your body burns more calorie digesting protein compared to carbohydrates & fats.
3)Stable energy:
Unlike some high-carb breakfasts, which can lead to energy dips through your day, a protein-rich breakfast may provide you with more sustained energy. This can help you to stay active throughout your day, supporting your overall calorie expenditure.
4)Keep your muscle:
When losing weight, it’s crucial to maintain muscle mass, this simply cannot be done without eating enough Protein. Protein helps preserve lean muscle, simple! Therefore, eating a decent portion of protein at breakfast can help you hit your daily requirements.
If you need any help in how to get more protein into your diet, give me a shout.
