It’s hard to make sure we’re getting a good breakfast in amongst the morning rush, but new research shows that protein is the most important thing we can pack in first thing.report that the majority of people who eat breakfast don’t eat enough protein with their meals, and are getting their protein fix at dinnertime, instead.However, they say that the higher amount of protein “typically consumed at dinner time cannot be stored for later use and is either used for energy or stored as fat.
So, that’s why it’s super important to make sure your breakfast is packed with protein in the morning. What’s the protein sweet spot? Around 20g they say, as it helps to keep insulin and glucose levels more tightly controlled post-meal.Some of us skip food altogether in the morning, opting for our fave coffee on the way to work. But with the usual latte offering only 1.6g of protein, it’s not going to keep you satiated for long.
