I thought it was interesting how the article mentioned that people who skip breakfast have lower energy levels, as well as less strength and endurance. My wife and I recently moved to a new town where we both work full-time jobs, so it can be difficult for us to have time to make breakfast in the morning. It would be great if we could find a restaurant that can serve us with a delicious breakfast that we don’t have to cook before work.
It’s great to know that meals like this will boost your metabolism. I don’t have time dor breakfast but I might have time for brunch. I’ll look for places to grab brunch near me.
I like that you said that regularly eating breakfast will help me boost my metabolism and eat fewer calories during the rest of the day, which would help me maintain my weight. Ever since I started using birth control, I have been gaining weight. I want to maintain my slim figure, so I’ll follow your advice and eat breakfast every day at a local sandwich shop before I go to work. Thanks!
