5 Healthy, High Protein Breakfast's

Here are some of my top recommendations for a healthy start to the day. I am not saying you should have these every day because let’s face it, you won’t. But if you can substitute cereal or toast for even 2-3 days a week it will set you up for a far more nutritious week.

Starting the day with high amounts of sugar may not be the worst thing if you’re going in to an active job. However, if you’re only going to be sat down for the next 8 hours you should consider switching up to one of the options below or something similar as your body simply does not need that much sugar for an office job.

If you’re not consuming at least a gram of protein per kg of body weight you’re not having enough! Protein will help grow and repair muscle, leave you feeling fuller for longer and slow down the absorption of simple carbohydrates.

Here are some simple, easy to make breakfast which tick a lot of boxes. They are high in protein, nutrient dense and will give you the energy to last until lunch without the need for snacking.
