Who among us hasn’t skipped breakfast? It happens: We wake up late, or it takes our kids too long to get ready. Or we have to iron a shirt we didn’t count on. Or the dog throws up on the carpet and the mess needs to be cleaned up.
No matter why, we’ve all been faced with situations in which we have to start off our day without that first meal. And that’s too bad, because we’re doing our bodies and our long-term health a disservice.
If you don’t eat, your body doesn’t receive the signals it needs to get started on its new-day metabolism. You’re messing with your hunger cues, too, which can cause you to binge-eat or make bad eating choices later in the day. And you’re probably impacting your energy level and productivity, too.
Research suggests that a high protein breakfast can help reduce daily hunger and make it easier to maintain a healthy weight.
