Breakfast for Those on a Run

Skip breakfast or skip putting on your shoes?!? I would pick skip putting on my shoes.

The result of skipping breakfast is pre-afternoon hunger and sluggishness.

To get the most out of a quick breakfast, follow the A.M. FUEL rules:

Anything is better than nothing
Mix it up

Fill up on fiber and protein
Useless calories from sugar and fat make you feel sluggish
Eating is fun - start your day with a smile
Lean and light starts your morning right

Breakfast is Food for Thought

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day.

Not only does breakfast give you energy to start a new day, but breakfast is linked to many health benefits, including weight control and improved performance.

WebMD found that eating a healthy breakfast can help give you:
* A more nutritionally complete diet, higher in nutrients, vitamins and minerals
* Improved concentration and performance in the classroom or the boardroom

* Lower cholesterol levels
