There are a lot of people who don’t like to eat breakfast.  Are you one of them?  

If so, there’s something I want to point out to you.  Remember the phrase “breakfast of champions”?  

There’s a reason that phrase was invented—breakfast could be one of the most important meals of the day.  

And for good reason!  Eating breakfast has been linked to a number of health benefits—and that includes greater weight loss.  

In fact, one study documenting nearly 30,000 people, found those who ate breakfast had lower BMI numbers compared to those who didn’t eat breakfast. 

 And that’s not all!  Another study showed that breakfast eaters, on average, were able to maintain their weight loss more effectively compared to non-breakfast eaters.  

Why does eating breakfast help you on your journey to a healthier body?  Well, it could come down to how many calories you’re eating.  

As you know, eating too many calories will, more than likely, lead to weight gain and increased body fat numbers.  

And when you don’t eat breakfast, your next meal may be in trouble!  You could be extremely hungry, which could lead you to overeat and make food poor food choices (both quantity and quality), which could easily lead you to pack on the pounds.  

But, if you’re eating breakfast, you’re less likely to want to overeat at your next meal, therefore keeping your calories in check.  
Plus, breakfast could also lead to more stable blood sugar, therefore keeping cravings low and your metabolic rate higher!  

• Poor sleep the night before  
• Poor gut health  
• The time you’re used to eating   
• Low water intake the previous day  
• and many, many more  

On top of all of it, the time you had dinner the night before could also impact your desire to have breakfast in the morning.  

Regardless of the reason why you avoid breakfast, the bottom line is:  

You should NEVER skip breakfast!  It’s super important—especially if you’re looking to lose weight and body fat.  

So with that said…  

Here are 7 Ways to Get Breakfast to be a Part of Your Routine…  

Remember, you should never skip out on eating breakfast.  It’s the most important meal of the day and can do wonders for spiking your metabolism and helping you lose weight and build lean muscle mass.  

Here are some tips that you can include that should help you make breakfast a part of your day:  

It doesn’t.  In fact, it’s perfectly okay to break up your breakfast into smaller portions.  Have a banana or apple first, then in about 30 to 60 minutes, have something else.  

Remember, you’re not grazing all day.  Keep the second portion of your breakfast to a lean protein source, such as eggs, yogurt, or even a cheese stick.  

3. Keep it Small  

Like tip #2, you need to keep your breakfast small.  A piece of fruit or some scrambled eggs could go a long way to preparing your body for what’s to come in the future.  

If you’re not used to eating breakfast, keeping it small will help your body adjust to the additional calories, which should pump some life into your appetite in the morning.  

Remember, a piece of sprouted wheat toast and some peanut butter could be the perfect example of a small, yet, satisfying breakfast  

4. Make It Fast  

I spend each morning cooking breakfast for my family.  Sure it’s a lot of work, but knowing they are getting a good, healthy meal that should last them a few hours is key.  

But I realize that you probably don’t have the time in the morning to make breakfast—and that’s fine.  

If the idea of preparing breakfast right after you wake up doesn’t seem appealing, then there are ways around it.  

You could opt for a smoothie (throw in some fruit, kale, spinach, and some whey protein with milk or almond milk) to get your morning started on the right foot.  

But there is one addition to this:  

You need to be sure you’re eating within 30 to 45 minutes POST-WORKOUT to get the best results from your breakfast (or post-workout snack)!

6. Doesn’t Have to Be “Breakfast” Foods  

The term breakfast, broken down, simply means you’re breaking the fast from the night before.  

So it doesn’t have to be super complicated.  And it doesn’t even have to be filled with “breakfast” type foods.  

Breakfast is simply the first meal of the day.  But if you don’t like the typical foods that are served at breakfast, then don’t eat them.  

Opt for 3 oz. (or more) of chicken, sliced turkey, or steak and combine that with some veggies.  

Whatever foods are going to help you to focus on eating breakfast, go ahead and use them.
