Make Breakfast Wholesome with Protein, Fiber, and Balance
A nutritious breakfast combines protein for satiety, complex carbs/fiber for steady energy, and healthy fats/vitamins—aim 300-500 calories to kickstart metabolism and curb cravings.
Key Principles
-
Protein (20-30g): Builds muscle, stabilizes blood sugar.
-
Fiber (5-10g): Gut health, fullness.
-
Whole Carbs/Fats: Sustained fuel, no spikes.
-
Variety: Rotate for micronutrients.
