Break the fast with the balance of protein, carbs, fats, fibre & micronutrients, & watch your energy (& performance) sustain over the long term 🍳🍳
I hear alot of clients say they’re not hungry in the mornings, but even though you don’t feel stressed, you do put your body into a type of physiological stress by not feeding it with happy foods (protein most importantly in the mornin)
Inconsistent eating can impact your hunger hormones (the body is thinking “when is my next meal?”), energy levels, lean muscle (the body will take protein from where it can to get what it needs), mood & performance in the gym, to name a few
Your body needs a particular amount of fuel just to carry out daily functions (your Basal Metabolic Rate), then you need to eat a particular amount of fuel to carry out your incidental exercise (getting to work, taking the stairs, carrying the groceries, picking up or playing with kids etc.), as well as your planned exercise (gym, runs, rides, pilates etc.)
I’m just saying you probably need more than you think! So eat a good brekky to make sure your efforts in planned exercise aren’t diminished, & your energy for incidental exercise is not making life harder than it needs to be
Especially if you’re trying to keep, or grow your lean muscle to change your body composition (that toned, firm, lean look)
I have just found my new favourite sourdough from 🍞😍
