Fuel for a Productive Day, Breakfast of Champions

Hi Bob -- so bad for us but oh so tasty --- pastries and breads should be avoided especially during those early morning meetings where our minds need to be alert.

I do like eggs. Farm fresh ones that is. I use to have my own chickens and a good supply of these. Now I pay top dollar in the store for eggs, or I get them from a local farmer.

But all that aside...I now normally start my morning with raw yogurt and a high grain cereal with flax seed and I also dose myself with chia seeds. This seems to work for me. 

Bob, Breakfast of Champions?  Um, where are the Wheaties?  Not that they are my favorite food for any meal.

Now that is a great health lesson Bob.  Way to go.  A nice Hawaii breakfast we have eggs, spam, seaweed and brown rice.  If you really want to go all out, 2 eggs, poi, Kalua Pig and cabbage with LomiLomi Salmon.

Good morning Bob.Breakfast has always been my post important meal. It all started do many years ago when growing up on the farm. I learned all the right lessons that many years ago. Brian does a great job with the video.

Yes, this is a good approach.  thx for the video. I've been trying to eat more protein.  It was helping my foot heal faster, but it turns out there are many other benefits.

Bob: As we age, we become much more aware of the concept of 'We are what we eat". As I read AR this morning before going to the gym, I would love a donut, but my mind is stronger and I will wait until done with my workout for  my protein drink, then look out world!

I agree Bob, I have juice and tea in the AM.

I have coffee in the morning while I blog and usually oatmeal with flax and almond milk after

I don't usually have much of an appetite when I first get up, however I have found I can do oatmeal or an oatmeal bar.  I usually have coffee and never attend a meeting without an oatmeal bar or two in my bag.  Helps me stay focused.

You photo reminds me of the breakfast we would enjoy prior to working on the farm.  Now I don't do the physical work these days, but still know the value of eating a well balanced meal.

Looks good, but when I eat like that I am hungry all day long.  I prefer more of a late brunch.  Then I am good for most of the day.

Hi Bob! Having breakfast does make a difference in starting the day right. Now that you mention it, donuts, bagels. all that yummy stuff does make me want to go right back to bed most of the time!

Funny to read this post this morning.  Just emailed a friend about how few things beat a good bowl of Old Fashioned oatmeal for breakfast.  Mark style of course.  Selection of nuts, fruits, brown sugar etc.  lol  

Make it a great weekend, Mark
