What energy foods can I eat in the morning to get up and get going?
Answers:
protein is the way to go
and a balanced breakfast is good
if you don't want to eat a lot just have a piece of whole grain toast with peanut butter and jam with a glass of unsweetened OJ
:)
Protein! Eat sausage, bacon, and/or eggs in the morning, and you will most likely have more energy.
Try eating a bowl of oat bran. You can make it in microwave in 2 minutes or less. Just be careful bo put it in a bowl as it expands greatly and make a messin your mico. You can usually find it loose in any store that sells loose candies, , sugar free items etc. Itis very cheap and very healthy. Healthfood stores haveit in containers and my supermarket even carries it. IIt is very healthy, filling, and if you have any bowel problems of ANY KIND they'll disappear immedately. I add a litte milk and sugar to it just beforeI eat it. It takes a few times to get it to the texture you like. You've got to wait until it puffs up in the micro and become light and fluffy. Can cook it on the stove also.
fiber fiber fiber!!! otmeal w/ butter cinnimon and sugar is very good, ceriol is also great. maybe get some ceriol, mix it w/ berries, sososo good
I eat a banana with cereal and toast and or granola for a little extra sugar:) Protein.
a hot bowl of oatmeal works best for me...its not too heavy so that i get too full and sleepy but it sticks with me all morning and i don't snack
Protein and grain...
Heavy fat foods make you sleepy and groggy. So less fat is important to maintain energy, but what's even more important is your eating FREQUENCY. Eat right when you wake up with a bowl of cereal or a whole grain bagel, then a small snack 2 hours later. Eat half your lunch at lunch and save the rest for your mid afternoon snack. Notice the small portion pattern developing. Then eat either an early dinner or another small snack around 5. Keep dinner light and no later than 7 pm. This helps boost your energy levels and keeps your metabolism going all day instead of peaking and falling at meals and in between.
My favorite early morning energy boost is a fresh glass of carrot juice, which I make myself from organic carrots. FYI :)
I'll hard boil some eggs.. then take the shell off and grate the egg on top of spinach and one or two peices of Canadian Bacon..
Not only Losta Energy But Its Healthy too
Eggs any way, and/or oatmeal.
