A protein based breakfast is the ideal choice because its filling and a sustainable way to start the day; you can easily scramble an egg whilst your bread is toasting. Remember to not skip breakfast, as it'll only make your pick the wrong foods for the rest of the day.
Enjoy a mid morning snack to give yourself a pick-me-up- top up on your fruits and veg for the day or try toast topped with a nut butter and fruits.
At lunch, you should strive to mix proteins with carbs. the carbs will help you get through the day with a steady rise in blood sugar - beat the munchies!
Push the carbs for dinner too; they'll help you relax in the evening and are low in fat too. Don't forget your protein and essential fats, your body needs them for regeneration and repair in the night.
