Breakfast is a surprisingly polarizing topic: You either love it or hate it. But Kristin Kirkpatrick, the manager of wellness nutrition services at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute, wants you to embrace it – and make it your biggest meal of the day.
Here’s how to do it: Aim for at least 15 grams of protein or more by consuming plain yogurt, eggs, zucchini muffins, quiche cups or a protein smoothie. Make your carbohydrate options complex ones, such as steel-cut oatmeal with mixed nuts and cinnamon or whole-grain sprouted bread with avocado or nut butter. Finally, eat breakfast like a king, and decrease meal size as the day progresses. |
