Nutrition Tip

Good morning Fitness Fans!  I wanted to virtually share my breakfast with you!  I had a bowl of unsweetened oatmeal, with 2 fresh strawberries and an egg white omelet with spinach, mushrooms, a little bit of light cheese (I do mean a small amount-one serving) and a little bit of grilled chicken.  In order to make the oatmeal taste better I mixed in cinnamon and a packet of Splendia.  Actually, it is pretty tasty and very filling.

I am sharing this breakfast with my Fitness Fans in hopes that it will encourage more of you to eat breakfast.  It really is the most important meal of the day.  It is what jump starts your metabolism for the day and supplies you with the nutrients you need after having fasted during sleeping hours and keeps you from over eating throughout the course of the day. 

Also, the weekend is upon us and having a healthy low fat, high fiber, protein packed breakfast will help prevent over eating while you are out socializing this weekend.  Socializing is often about gathering with friends and enjoying food.  My tip to you would be to enjoy a cheat meal or 2 this weekend.  However, if you maintain your regular healthy eating in your other weekend meals you will maintain a balance and not feel as if you are missing out.  So enjoy a burger or a slice of pizza or 2, just round out your remaining meals with healthy clean eating and you should be fine.  If you really over do it, just do a little extra cardio for 2 days and you will be back on track!  Let me know how this tip works for you.  Have a safe, healthy and active weekend!

Love, Peace and Protein Drinks,
