Breakfast?!

Howdy Y'all! So...one of the most common questions we receive, both in person and via email is "what do I eat for breakfast?" Well...the same types of stuff you eat for lunch and dinner! I know that is uninspiring to many since we advocate silly stuff like lean protein, veggies, fruit, nuts, avocados etc. I mean how on earth could one construct a breakfast from such things? Sorry, I may be a little cranky on this topic but here's a news flash:

FOOD IS NOT YOUR FRIEND, YOUR SOUL MATE OR THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEMS.

Does this mean eating should be a dull, joyless existence? Absolutely not, I think the recipes presented here illustrate this perfectly and no one, not even Robb-the-food-nazi is advocating a life without occasional forays into dicey food options (refined carbs) but I do think people eat too often from a place of filling emotional needs and not an opportunity to experiment, try new things and promote ones health, body composition and performance. Too preachy? tough crackers Amigos Y Amiga's, everyone else is saying breakfast burritos, muffins, bagels and juices are healthy and "OK" for breakfast. That's bullshit...they are not fit for daily consumption. Just come to terms with that and no one needs to get hurt!

So, breakfast. Like I mentioned in a previous post, we were given some fantastic salmon and cod a few days a go. We have defrosted this fish at various points and thrown together some great meals. Here is what we did the other day:

Brown 1/2 lb. of salmon in a pan. Break into small pieces as it cooks. Add 1/2 bag of Trader Joes green beans. mix and cook until green beans are tender. Add 6 omega-3 enriched scrambled eggs. Cook thoroughly. Garnish with ground black pepper and fresh espresso.

The meal provides, protein, good fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It will stick with you for hours and you will not have a mid morning energy crash. Bagels, juice, oatmeal and similar crap do not offer these benefits. Give it a shot, you'll like it!
