The significance of a high-protein breakfast

Numerous studies have demonstrated that high-protein breakfasts can significantly benefit your body.

This article will be brief: consuming 30 grams or more of protein first thing in the morning can help stabilize blood sugar levels, leading to more consistent hormonal responses throughout the day. 

I always encourage my clients to start their day with at least 30 grams of protein. Initially, this may seem challenging; protein is quite satiating, and if you’re unaccustomed to such quantities, finishing your meal might feel difficult. That's perfectly normal!

While I’m not the strongest proponent of protein shakes, a high-quality protein powder can be a valuable tool in achieving your morning protein targets.

An additional benefit of stabilized blood sugar levels is a reduction in afternoon cravings. Several clients have reported a diminished desire for their typical salty or sweet snacks in the evening. 

Furthermore, balanced blood sugar and hormonal regulation can contribute to sustained energy levels. Many clients have noted that they no longer experience the dreaded 3 PM slump or the need for an afternoon caffeine boost

Though 30 grams of protein might seem daunting at first, the benefits are remarkable. I can confidently say that every client I’ve guided towards a high-protein breakfast has experienced these positive changes.
