Wakey Wakey! Eggs and Bakey!

Breakfast is the best meal of the day. No questions asked. Most mornings its the reason I get out of bed. I'm not kidding. Well maybe a little bit. Anyways, not only is breakfast amazing its also the most important meal of the day! By eating breakfast, it will help you balance your metabolism and feel more energized. It can actually help you eat less because your body won't be craving so much food when lunch comes around so you won't eat as much. Also eating a healthy meal is always rewarding in the long run!

The best time to eat breakfast is one hour after waking up but for most people that isn't doable. Breakfast doesn't have to be this large meal just as long as its healthy and can fill you up for a couple hours.

Being an athlete I can't function with out breakfast. Especially during the season when I am  burning a lot more calories at practice. I try to eat a healthy breakfast every morning. Game days are different. On these days the best thing to eat is eggs, fruit, yogurt, peanut butter or cereal but try to stay away from bagels, pancakes or french toast because these are high in complex carbs which take longer for your body to digest thus longer for you to get the needed energy. But if you aren't play for a couple hours after eating breakfast than these complex carbs are fine to eat because your body will have time to digest it.

Here are a couple of my favorite pre game breakfasts:

 Toasted bagel with peanut butter and cinnamon sugar

 Cereal and a banana

 Eggs with yogurt and fruit

 Peanut butter and jelly with an apple
