Bill's Question Sparked Nine Breakfast Tips
- Monica received Bill's question comparing a high-protein, no-fiber breakfast and a high-fiber, low-protein breakfast.
- She used Bill's question to present nine tips showing you can and should combine protein and fiber at breakfast.
Make Breakfast Big Enough To Last
- Eat a larger breakfast sized for hours until your next meal rather than a tiny 100–200 calorie snack.
- Aim for ~100 calories per hour until lunch (about 500 calories if 5 hours away) or split into breakfast plus a planned mid-morning snack.
Increase Protein At Breakfast
- Boost the protein-to-carb/fiber ratio at breakfast to stay full and protect lean muscle.
- Add peanut butter to toast, salmon on a bagel, protein powder or tofu in smoothies, eggs in oatmeal, or switch to Greek yogurt.
