| BREAKFAST IS FOR CHAMPIONS Breakfast - break·fast • ‘brek-fuhst’ • noun Breakfast is the morning meal that stimulates metabolism, helps meet daily nutrient needs and is a tool that will help maintain a healthy weight - and it is essential for athletes. WINForum nutritionists encourage eating a balanced low-sugar breakfast every day. It is important to combine carbohydrates (preferably whole grains), lean protein and some healthy fat to help maintain energy throughout the day. Try to get three different foods from different food groups if possible. If you train early and your stomach can’t handle a full meal, try to eat a small amount of carbohydrate like a piece of fruit or half a bagel before your workout, and follow up with the complete meal. The number one reason people tend to skip breakfast is lack of time. |
