That being said, a great deal of dieters focused on fat loss, such as those into intermittent-fasting, would strongly disagree with the notion that a traditional breakfast comes at the start of the day. They’re happy to break – fast, but not until way later in the day. So when it comes to breakfast, everyone really does have it their way.  If your way is more traditional, then knowing these common mistakes will have you on the right fitness path from the get go.

Oh, and just as a fyi, I have included some healthy breakfast ideas down below.

Let’s face it that caffeine kick sure does get the old engine up and running so to speak. However, if extra sugar and creamer are added, it also swells the number of calories. On top of that, adding extra sugar gives that crash and burn energy that you do not need.

Because of the type of energy it brings, excess sugar and creamer is a pretty good way to spiral off from your goals. Perhaps you’re not ready for plain black coffee just yet, but by simply limiting the sugar and cream, or having sugar-free creamers, this will go some way to helping with your energy and calorie intake down the road. Believe me when I say this, while black coffee is an acquired taste, you’ll learn to like it.

Unless you’ve been sleep drinking, chances are that you woke up dehydrated. It doesn’t even matter if you’re not really thirsty, trust me, you need that water. The body is made from 60 percent water, and  dehydration impacts vastly on physical and cognitive performance.

Start the day with 8-12 ounces of water the moment you wake up. And when I say the moment, I mean, even before you brush your teeth. This is particularly essential when training first thing in the morning, as dehydration by as little as little as 3 percent can create increased fatigue, it also elevate the risks for injuries.

Food manufacturers want to sell products, and they want to sell a lot of their products, ergo, within reason (and regulations) they will go to whatever length needed to get those products sold. So you’ll find rows of boxes in the supermarket aisles stating; “as much protein as an egg,” or “low-sugar,” and “gluten-free”. However, take another look and you will find that these may contain extra fat, added sugar to replace gluten, and extra protein from incomplete sources (such as soy) so they can bolster the protein content.

Don’t believe the hype. Always take a moment to read the ingredients and nutrition before choosing a particular breakfast choice from the aisle. A perfect way to get that extra protein if you’re looking for it is to add slices of bacon or turkey bacon to your morning platter. Want a faster source of protein? Go for a good brand of protein powder and mix it with your oatmeal.

There’s been a lot of buzz around Juicing, especially in the health and fitness world. Juicing is great for upping your vitamins and vegetable intake, but it’s not really a great breakfast on its own. One of the main components that get the digestion working is fiber, something Juices are lacking. So come eleven am, chances are, you’ll be flagging and ravenous to boot. If you want to juice, couple it with protein and a high-fiber carbohydrate option.
