Nutrition 101 🍽️

If you eat a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, you're going to feel hungry in about one to two hours. This hits your bloodstream fast and drops just as quickly, so your hunger is going to return almost immediately. If you eat eggs and toast for breakfast, you'll likely be hungry again in about one and a half to two and a half hours. The eggs help but the toast is still going to cause a blood sugar spike that results in a mid morning crash and early hunger. If you eat oatmeal with milk and a banana, you'll probably be hungry again in about one and a half to two hours. People think this is a healthy breakfast, but the banana, the milk and even the oats themselves add fast sugar. Now if you eat eggs and steak, you're going to be full for about four to six hours. The high protein and healthy fats help to calm your appetite and also stabilize blood sugar and energy. If you drink a protein smoothie that has whey protein, maybe some almond milk, some frozen blueberries, chia seeds, maybe some MCT oil, you'll be full for about four to five hours. The mix of high quality protein, slow carbs, fiber and healthy fats helps to reduce appetite and stabilize your blood sugar and your energy.
