Why YOU should eat Breakfast

Throughout my experience in the fitness field, I have seen way to many instances where people do not eat breakfast.  No matter what time you wake up in the morning, the first thing you should do is eat!  It doesn't matter if you are waking up for work or waking up for a morning workout.  There honestly is not a legitimate excuse to not eat breakfast.

Why is this so important?
-Lets say you sleep 8 hours per night, you never go 8 hours without eating throughout the day do you?
-Your car sure as heck doesn't run without gas and oil does it? Neither does your body (maybe this is a poor analogy but you get the point)
-Your body uses up plenty of energy when your sleeping and it is very possible for you to wake up or eventually go into a catablic state, which means your body is basically breaking down its muscle for energy! Nobody wants that.
-Breakfast jump starts your metabolism and helps you burn energy more efficiently throughout the day, so don't think by skipping breakfast you will lose weight because that is far from the truth.
-Lastly, if you don't eat breakfast, you will most likely end up eating a huge lunch which will result in extra fat storage.

If you like working out when you wake up, something as simple as a protein bar/ fruit/ and some adequate hydration will be just fine.  Just remember to replenish with a hearty breakfast after.

*Focus on real food: Oatmeal/Eggs/Turkey Bacon/Regular Bacon/Fruit/Peanut Butter/etc..

Please do your body a favor and start eating breakfast every day :)

Thanks!
