Great Protein Food for your early Mornings

A high protein breakfast for someone looking to lose weight will set them up for the day helping them to feel fuller for longer. This will help to stop food cravings in the mornings and will stop you raiding the cupboard for sweets and snacks. Reasearch has also shown that eating a good nutritious breakfast in the morning will encourage you to eat more healthily throughout the day. Starting the day off right will give you the added motive to finish the day off right.

A high protein breakfast is also important to people looking to build muscle and put on weight. For someone looking to build muscle you will (or should) know the importance of protein in your diet and how much protein you need to help build muscle. Upon waking in the morning your body would have gone anywhere from 6-10 hours without food. You dont want to be going long periods without food as this will only restrict your progress.

Reason being is that after 6-10 hours of no food your body is likely to enter a catabolic state. A catabolic state is where your body is breaking down tissue. This we dont want. Breakfast is therefore a great time to take in some high protein breakfast foods and switch the body back to an anabolic state (building tissue).

your stuck for ideas of high protein breakfast foods then let me run some ideas past you. Breakfast doesnt always have to be boring!

Eggs and Bacon. Eggs and bacon? your probably wondering why I've put this down but yes eggs and bacon for breakfast is a great protein packed meal that doesnt have to be as high calorie and unhealthy as you think. For the eggs you can either choose to consume them whole or take out the egg whites. Whether your building muscle or losing weight I wouldnt worry too much about taking out the yolk unless you plan on eating a lot of eggs.

Cook the eggs in some sort of healthy oil instead of fat. You can even try them boiled, scrambled or poached. As for the bacon try cooking it on the grill and trim off the fat when you come to eat it so your left with only lean meat. If your bulking up and looking to put on weight and muscle size then you can always add some wholemeal toast to this for additional calories and carbs and put the eggs and bacon on it. Furthermore add a pint of milk to the meal for additional calories and protein. A great high protein breakfast.
