Protein is an essential macronutrient for good health, and if you want to optimise fat loss and exercise performance, you need to consume plenty of it!
Starting the day with a sugary breakfast cereal that’s high in refined carbs is going to significantly affect your blood sugar levels, leading to energy crashes.
Eating a higher protein breakfast is not only one of the best ways to keep you full and satisfied but to prevent those blood sugar levels from dipping throughout the rest of day.
Here is one of my quick and easy high protein breakfasts.
Most of it can be prepped the night before, perfect if you don't have time to make your breakfast in the morning!
