A survey from Consumer Reports found that 22% of people skipped breakfast. Most people ate fruit. Cereal was the next most popular, followed by eggs, peanut butter and protein bars.
Our feeling is that breakfast should never be skipped because you have just completed a 8-10 hour fast and your body is pleading to be fed.
The problem is, most people think they will lose weight by skipping meals (Never happen) or just load up on CARBS for breakfast.
We think the ideal breakfast should consist of CARBS, PROTEIN and FAT.
A great choice would be low sugar instant oatmeal supplemented with 100% whey protein powder. Fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, whole grain breads etc are also good. We would skip ANY fruit juice including orange juice as these are just sugar water. Instead of supermarket juice, squeeze the oranges and have some fresh juice!.
Oh yeah? Vitamins. Forget about it. There is no proof that MVI’s are beneficial and may even increase your risk of heart disease or cancer.

Here is a summary from a great article in Men’s Journal about dietary protein. It was published in the August 11, 2011 edition and a copy can be found in our office.
