The Breakfast Debate

Breakfast has been called the most important meal of the day, but the evidence is nuanced. What matters most is not whether you eat breakfast but what you eat and when your eating window starts.

If you do eat breakfast, prioritizing protein and healthy fat over simple carbs stabilizes blood sugar for hours. A breakfast of eggs and avocado keeps you satisfied until lunch. A breakfast of cereal and orange juice spikes and crashes your blood sugar by 10 AM, leaving you hungry and foggy.
