FIVE MINUTE FAT BURNING BREAKFASTS

WE’VE ALL HEARD IT A MILLION TIMES- START THE DAY WITH A GOOD BREAKFAST…

Most of us know the facts already:

*Breakfast fuels up your metabolism so you energy is high and consistent throughout the day
*You perform better at mental and physical tasks
*You eat less late in the day and as a result your overall calorie intake is lower and your body burns more fat so you look leaner.

*A HIGH PROTEIN BREAKFAST is the key to getting your body running at optimal fat burning levels. I can’t overstate this! A bagel and orange juice or a a bowl of special K won’t cut it.

Some guys have all the SAME TWO EXCUSES for not eating breakfast – I hear them over and over again in my training practice.

“NOT ENOUGH TIME”

“I AM NOT HUNGRY”

If you are really rushed and disorganized in the morning I have the solution for you with these almost instant high protein breakfasts you can make and eat in about five minutes or less.

If you are not hungry it’s because your eating cycle is heavily weighed toward eating later in the day and into the night. WHY?
Because you are not getting enough calories early in the day when your body really needs them and you are compensating for it by eating heavier meals after 6:00 PM when your body needs it the least. This is a tough cycle to break – for most guys it takes about 3 weeks to adjust to this style of feeding. Hang in there you can do it!

ENOUGH SAID- HERE ARE SOME OF THE FASTEST AND HEALTHIEST FAT BURNING BREAKFASTS YOU CAN MAKE WITH LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY. Print this page out and prepare the day before so you have all the ingredients at hand. Shopping and preparation are keys to successful eating.

Test them out for the next three weeks and see if it doesn’t make a difference in your energy and in your waistline.

SMOKED SALMON SANDWICH
Take two pieces of whole grain bread ( I recommend CARB STYLE or ALVARADO STREET ESSENTIAL FLAX SEED BREAD), spread a big hunk of non fat cream cheese( apprx 2 TBS) over it and then lay 4 ounces of smoked salmon on top. If you are really ambitious you can add capers or some spinach leaves. Eat at home or wrap it up and eat in the car.

KITCHEN MC MUFFIN
Toast a whole grain english muffin. While you are waiting for the toast to finish you can begin the preparation for the eggs :
Scramble one whole egg with a 1/4 cup of low fat mozzarella in a small bowl or coffee cup. Throw in the microwave for a minute – remove and stir- return to the microwave for another minute till set.
Mound the eggs and cheese mixture on top of the muffin. If you have an extra 30 seconds you can add a slice of Canadian bacon to the sandwich to up the protein even further. Eat immediately or wrap and enjoy during your commute.

Quaker instant plain oatmeal mixed with vanilla whey protein powder. Microwave following the directions on the package but add an extra half cup of water, cinnamon and a tablespoon of ground flax seeds. Eat at home or place in a thermos and take it with you.

Top off a KASHI or Eggo whole grain waffle with ricotta or cottage cheese fresh or frozen berries and a packet of splenda or stevia sweetener.

These are just a few of the many ideas I have for quick and easy meals. I am striving to make your life easier by keeping the eating chores as simple and uncomplicated as possible. Most of what I give you here should take no more than five minutes to complete. Good luck and hang in there!
