Get Started Right

Let Better Breakfast Month inspire your morning routine.

If cereal is your go-to breakfast item, Tim Ferriss would not be pleased. This author and popular podcaster believes protein should reign supreme during that first meal of the day. He shoots for 30 grams of protein – and with good reason.

Studies have shown that eating a high-protein breakfast helps prevent body fat gain, increase weight loss, reduce cravings and hunger hormones and even decrease the temptation to snack at night. According to these studies, people reap the most benefits when breakfast includes about 30 grams of protein.

It’s kind of tricky but give it a try to celebrate Better Breakfast Month! Here’s what 30 grams of protein looks like at breakfast. 

If you’d like help understanding nutrition or developing a plan tailored just for you, schedule an appointment with one of The Y @ Work’s registered dietitians. There’s a $30 kick-off package for Y members.

Note: On Yammer ask for people to share their favorite protein-rich breakfast ideas.
