Eating on the Run

September 30, 2011 By: Victor Brick

You have probably know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is important to “break the fast” of your 7 to 8 hours of sleep (I hope you are getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep) and refuel with something nutritious before you start your day. Of course, that is easier said than done. For many of us, mornings are the most hectic time of the day. And just eating cereal does not qualify as a nutritious breakfast.

We recommend to always have hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator, ready to consume quickly or literally eat on the run (notice how I subtly worked the title of the fit tip into the text!). As we stated in earlier fit tips, eggs are one of the most complete foods you can eat. And, as we said in an earlier fit tip, consume the entire egg, yolk and all. The yolk actually contains lecithin, which is a fat emulsifier, and actually helps lower cholesterol instead of increase it.

We also recommend to have some fresh fruit and plain yogurt available as well. Two eggs, some plain yogurt (no sugar added) and fresh fruit is a very complete breakfast. And you can eat the whole thing in minutes, or take it all to go. You can also add some fresh orange juice or grapefruit juice to the mix but be careful of drinking too much juice as it contains a lot of sugar.
