A while back I posted about good breakfast choices and my change of eating habits from carb based breakfasts to something including more protein Steak, chicken or salmon for breakfast?
It took a bit of a mental adjustment to start eating animal protein that early in the day and I know other people find it really weird that I love steak for breakfast (people expect you to eat sugary cereals as if that’s what we are MEANT to eat – I mean what did we eat before Sugar Puffs were invented???). Have just seen a recent Charles Poliquin post on the subject of breakfast The Meat and Nut Breakfast and its good to see a post advocating a high protein breakfast and outlining the things that I love about it; it keeps me fuller for longer but I feel so much sharper and alert and for longer.
Had my steak, eggs and broccoli this morning…yum!!

At the beginning of my diet, health and fitness search I wouldn’t eat breakfast at all thinking that I was saving calories and convinced that I ate less overall by not eating first thing. The days when I did actually manage to eat breakfast were when I had been awake for hours and breakfast would usually consist of yet another cup of coffee accompanied by (on a good day porridge with butter and sugar) or on a bad day white toast, crumpets or something similar. Always followed up a couple of hours later by something sweet and hoping I could just get through until lunch!
A very early change to my diet was getting my head around the concept of eating breakfast (a) at all and (b) within an hour of waking up both of which were a real challenge to the way I thought about food. I have been slowly changing my diet over the last year and trying to get better at eating clean – I never ate lots of processed food or ready meals but the culprits for me were flour (in anything from bread to pasta), white rice, potatoes and obviously sugary stuff.
