One of the best tips I always give to my guys on the 21 Day Challenge is that you MUST start the day right if you want better results!
By simply switching your first meal of the day to a higher protein breakfast, you will see a huge difference. Unlike a high sugar or high carbohydrate breakfasts (like cereal and toast), the higher protein breakfast will not leave you starving mid morning and feel like nose diving into the breakfast barrel!
Protein is what we call Thermogenic. This basically means your body takes longer to break it down in your digestive system. Because it takes longer, your body burns more calories, you get a low increase in blood sugar, which results in better and more balanced energy levels throughout the morning. This also helps to control appetite and your’e less likely to pick or snack between meal…. WIN WIN!
The best thing about my breakfast muffins?….. you can cook them the night before to save time!
They are also nice hot OR cold, give them a try and let me know what you think…..
