Breakfast Ideas Trophy Wife Style

Breakfast -  This meal needs to include a whole grain carbohydrate (or slow burning carb), a protein, and vitamins and antioxidants.  Breakfast is just that – Breaking the fast from the night before.  Healthy Hotties need a well rounded start to the day.  Choose 1 from each group.

Eggs 1-2	Whole or Multi grain toast 1 slice	Fruit 1 piece or 1 cup
Canadian bacon 2 slices Reg. bacon 1	Oatmeal ¾ cup	Juice –natural/pure ½ cup

Protein Shake w/ Peanut Butter	Protein shake with banana	Protein shake with berries

Dairy additions: 2oz cheese – feta, skim milk cheddar, goat or any white.  Yogurt ½ cup. Skim or 1% milk ½ cup.

I hear people say all the time - whats a protein, I'm not sure what's a good carb vs. a bad carb?  I make it simple.  

Protein is meat.  You can find Protein in other foods - but don't try to memorize them all grab a handy food guide or google protein list and you'll know!

Carbohydrates can turn into sugar and then fat. why we diet people always say stay away from them or eat slow carbs - slow carbs & whole grains are potatos and flour based foods usually.  But the best way to eat your carb is look for the food that has the least amount of processing. Think of cake vs granola.  A lot happens to make that cake-cake, while granola looks like it just popped out of the ground. Make sense. Of course you can send me a message to ask questions?
