If we could ask several health experts, hardly any of them would disagree that the key to our energy and satiety is to consume mostly protein-rich foods. And if we include them in our breakfast, we will help ourselves to build a better physique.
“Starting the day with protein will help you feel less hungry for sweets and carbohydrates throughout the day, and it also helps build muscle mass,” explains nutritionist Mariana Pérez Trejo Soltwedel.
As we well know, the benefits of building and maintaining muscle mass go far beyond just looking good. Because it is essential for the efficient functioning of our body.
“Simply put, metabolism is the amount of energy (i.e., calories) the body burns to maintain vital functions,” explains fitness trainer and influencer Sasha Barbosa.
She also adds that our body uses more energy to digest and break down proteins than carbohydrates or fats. In addition, macronutrients also help preserve lean muscle mass, which is important to maintain a good metabolic rate.
Of course, adequate water intake, regular physical activity and quality sleep are also important for metabolism. But we should not underestimate the intake of a sufficient amount of protein.
When we consume eggs, meat and dairy products, we also support tissue repair, muscle regeneration, and our hormonal balance. It is also associated with balanced blood sugar levels.
Given all this, it becomes clear that it is always better to have breakfast in the morning instead of rushing out of the house and immediately running on errands.
It is good that our first meal of the day includes foods rich in protein, as it has been shown to have a beneficial effect on our feeling of energy, satiety and helps us control our hunger for unhealthy foods.
According to a study, eating protein at breakfast is good for our body as we age.
In their conclusion, the scientists claim that a protein breakfast has benefits for increasing muscle mass in both middle-aged and older women and men.
