You have an important deadline to meet. Or perhaps you’re in the middle of a mid-term exam. Or you are dealing with a family emergency. Suddenly, bam! Around 10:30 a.m. you hit a wall. And you realise you are starving and feeling hangry (hungry+angry).

Hmmm…what did you eat for breakfast?

I hate to say, “I told you so,” so I’ll turn to Mom, who has said it countless times: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s the meal that’s designed to supply a third of the macro and micro nutrients your body needs to run smoothly.

So what are you eating each morning to do all these things? A cup of coffee gulped down on the go? A cup of sugary yogurt and a muffin eaten at your desk? Nothing at all?

Your body deserves so much better than that. And so do you!

When you eat a good breakfast, your day goes smoothly. No growling stomachs, low blood sugar shakiness, or wandering attention to keep you from nailing those big goals you’ve made for yourself.

What Breakfast is Right for You?

One of the best—and most fun—ways to find out which foods serve YOU most powerfully is something called the Breakfast Experiment. For one week, eat a different breakfast each day. Record in a notebook what you ate, how you felt immediately after the meal, and how you felt again two hours later.

• Day one: Scrambled eggs or tofu

• Day two: Yoghurt and some fruit

• Day three: Oatmeal

• Day four: Boxed breakfast cereal

• Day five: Muffin and coffee

• Day six: Fresh fruit

• Day seven: Fresh vegetables

Feel free to replace with your typical breakfast choices and/or repeat the experiment for another seven days with different foods each morning. Which breakfasts made you feel energized? Which ones didn’t? After the experiment, try adding in more of the foods that made you feel great! Make sure to check out my previous blog on breakfast where I dive deeper into what you should be eating for breakfast to have a steady energy throughout the day.
