Episode notes

INSIGHT

Make Dinner Foods Your Breakfast

Reframe breakfast from a distinct category into any meal timing; eat dinner-style foods in the morning to improve satiety and nutrition.
Sal and Adam recommend reheating last night's protein-rich dinner and cracking eggs on top as an easy, higher-protein breakfast.

INSIGHT

Broadening Your Food Relationship Eases Dieting

Our relationship with food is narrow and time-bound, so labels like "breakfast food" steer us to low-satiety choices.
Sal argues broadening that relationship (considering digestion, energy, performance) makes healthy eating easier long term.

ADVICE

Use Dinner Meal Prep To Simplify Mornings

Meal-prep dinners in bulk and portion into Tupperware so mornings require only reheating and minimal prep.
Adam describes splitting dinner into containers, microwaving, then cracking eggs on top for an eight-minute high-protein breakfast.
