Trading in some refined carbohydrates for healthy proteins in your breakfast will help better control your blood sugar. By contrast, starting the day with refined carbs sends your blood surging—and quickly crashing, leaving you feeling tired and hungry only a few hours after eating. I experimented with this myself and saw the difference. With a high protein breakfast, I wasn’t feeling “hangry” around 11am. Consider trying higher protein breakfast options and see if you feel different. High protein breakfast options include – Greek yogurt or oatmeal topped with chopped nuts and fruit, a breakfast burrito with egg and black beans, nut-butter with banana or apple, and avocado toast with a fried egg on top.
