Besides post-workout, breakfast is really the only other time your body craves fuel. In the morning, we especially need good fuel to snap our bodies out of a catabolic state and into a muscle-building one. Start the day off right by feeding your muscles so you can have enough energy to power through the day and through tough workouts.
These 7 fit breakfast meals are perfect for any "Fit Man" or "Fit Woman" cook. They're not difficult, are quick, and most important, taste really good. Feel free to customize the portion sizes and ingredients to complement your diet and fitness goals. Add a protein shake in your favorite flavor on the side, and you'll be ready to tackle anything life throws at you from sunup to sundown!
