Three Ways to Start Your Day Right
Posted Monday, September 5, 2011 by Mike Hanley
So the other day I had a member asking me about breakfast. He is a teacher and his schedule was getting ready to change so he wanted to know what he should do to start his day on the right foot. Now that the summer is over and school is back is starting many members of our facility will start there day much differently than they did in the summer.
Keeping this in mind I decided to throw out a couple of quick and effective meals to start your day on the right foot.
1. On the Go Breakfast
Many times the reason people cannot get a good meal in to start there day is the excuse of having no time to make breakfast. While I understand this reason it is definitely not an excuse to not get a good meal in. If you cannot make a meal at home before you leave for the day here is an example of a healthy meal on the go.
2-4 Whole Eggs
2 Slices of Rye Toast
Or
2-4 Whole Eggs
1 ENTIRE Banana (Yes Bruce:) or any piece of Fruit for that matter
The eggs will give you the protein and fat that you need for the meal and the rye bread or fruit will give you the healthy carbohydrate necessary to start your day on the right track.
2. Instant Breakfast
Many times which I have mentioned already the number one reason for someone to not get in there first meal of the day is time. If you cannot stop to make breakfast and there is absolutely nowhere to get a breakfast en route to work than here is a great way to get a meal in. It is in the form of a shake.
1-2 Scoops Protein Powder
4 Ices Cubes
1/2-1 Cup Almond Milk
1/2-1 Cup of Fruit or Oats
This is a great way to blend up all the necessary macronutrients needed to get your metabolism rocking right from the gate.
3. Breakfast at Home
Some of you may be able to make breakfast before going to work or simple get up early enough to make this a priority so here is a great way to start your day in the comfort of your own home.
2-4 Whole Eggs
Handful of Veggies
(use the 2 ingredients above to make a omelet)
1 Cup Sliced Apple or Banana OR
1/2-1 Cup Dry Oats
So there you have it. Here are 3 ways to start your back to school mayhem on the right foot so there is absolutely no excuse to not have breakfast tomorrow morning.
P.S. – All members be ready for the infamous question during your workouts this week:
“What did you have for breakfast?”
