Breakfast, as you should know, is the most important meal of the day. It gives you the energy you need to take on the day, and it's the ideal moment to replenish your muscle-building nutrients. So, with Strong Muscle's five finest weight loss breakfasts, be motivated to break the fast the fat-fighting way.
According to a study published in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition, persons who eat a high-protein meal at breakfast consume fewer calories throughout the rest of the day. They're also less inclined to grab high-fat and high-carb items, and they sleep better at night (studies suggest that sleep deprivation makes you more likely to reach for junk food).
If you try to eat a nutritious breakfast every morning, you've probably gone through a coop of eggs and a bushel of oats in the last few months, and your recycle bin is overflowing with empty yogurt containers. After all, there aren't many healthier high-protein meals than eggs, oatmeal, and yogurt.
5 Best High-Protein Breakfasts for Weight Loss
#1 – Eggs
These tiny suckers pack a punch, weighing in at only 78 calories for one huge egg. They're not only high in protein, with 13 g per 100 g, but they're also high in bioavailability, with a score of 100. This indicates that you (m)animals can easily absorb their entire amino acid profile.
In addition, each egg is chock-full of additional nutrients. The yolk is packed in testosterone-boosting vitamin D, as well as Choline, which is required for regular cell function.
If that wasn't enough, one study found that eating eggs for breakfast helps people lose weight when they eat a low-calorie diet. When experts compared the weight loss of persons who ate eggs first thing in the morning to those who ate bagels, they discovered that those who yolked "showed a 61 percent larger reduction of BMI."
Eat with: Whole-meal toast, black pepper
#2 – Oats
Don't let their unassuming appearance mislead you; oats are incredible. They're not only adaptable, but they're also jam-packed with weight-loss breakfast advantages.
There's a reason why everyone loves them, from top IFBB competitors to Hugh Jackman, the hulking Hollywood megastar. Oats are a complete protein, complex carb, and dietary fiber source, making them the ideal breakfast food.
Because of their high fiber content, oats will keep you full far into the afternoon. So forget about chewing your first before 11 a.m. and causing a ruckus in the office with your hanger attacks. Plus, because they're high in complex carbohydrates, you won't have a sugar crash as soon as you walk out the door.
Eat with: Unsweetened nut milk, protein isolate, fresh berries, chia seeds, and cinnamon
#3 – Banana and Berries
The weight-loss community has a negative opinion of bananas. Fruit, in general, is frequently vilified due to its naturally present sugar content.
But don't be fooled, fructose isn't something to be afraid of. Berries and bananas are high in naturally occurring fiber, vitamins, and fructose, which is great for energy. You'll be ready for anything if you start the day with a banana and berry protein smoothie.
Plus, when it comes to losing weight, we're all about foods that pack the biggest nutritional punch. So it's wonderful to know that berries are extremely low in calories, allowing you to eat as much as you want without breaking the bank.
Okay, so peanut butter has a high-calorie content. Its healthy fat content, on the other hand, will satisfy hunger while also giving testosterone-boosting omegas. Just remember not to overdo it, and you'll be OK.
Bananas are thought to help burn fat and suppress appetite, so they're the way to go if you're trying to lose weight. This is due to the presence of resistant starch, which feeds beneficial bacteria in the stomach and aids in the formation of butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid.
Butyrate is the hero because it boosts fat burning by instructing the body to prioritize lipids over carbohydrates. In the end, this means that your body will choose stubborn fat over carbs you've recently consumed.
Oh, and just to emphasise why we adore bananas, research suggest that they also help you feel less hungry. If you've ever been known to turn into a ravenous bear when you haven't eaten your fill, we recommend picking up a few of them.
Have you heard that? That's the sound of still-chubby, mega-hungry banana detractors venting their frustrations on science once more. When are they going to learn?
Eat with: Protein power, peanut butter, nut milk, and frozen spinach in a smoothie
#4 – Spicy turkey mince scramble
Okay, guy, we understand. Not every guy likes to drink their breakfast or eat the typical breakfast fare. To start the day, some of us desire something a little different.
The spicy turkey mince scramble comes from dinner-Ville. Who says we have to wait until dinner to eat the bird? Nobody is going to stop us from eating over 20 g of protein per meal whenever we want.
Add a lean protein source (turkey mince) to an already amino-dense pan of scrambled eggs to shake up your daily routine. But don't stop there; add spicy habanero sauce, as well as sautéed bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and crunchy asparagus, to bring in all the tastes of the day.
Eat with: Sautéed vegetables, habanero sauce, hot chili, and cayenne pepper
#5 – Breakfast burrito
Sometimes all you need is a morning burrito to get your day started. Rather than diving right into the rice, guac, and spicy chicken, we'll start with some savory morning snacks.
Tortillas made from whole wheat provide a serving of complex carbs that can be broken down slowly for energy. When it comes to breaking down their complicated sugar chains, our digestive enzymes have to put in a lot of effort, so we'll be fine until lunchtime, bro.
Remember how much we pounded home the importance of protein? Black beans, scrambled egg, and quark will be used to top that base.
Eat with: Tangy home-made salsa, grilled bell pepper, and quark
