There are indeed reasons to have a protein breakfast:

- Sustain hunger : Protein supposedly inhibits ghrelin (the hunger hormone) production by The Light of Science.

- Recover muscles : This is non-negotiable if you intend to hit the gym afterward.

- Control blood sugar levels: so that you don't draw lower than low awful by morning.


And, of course, these protein breakfasts hold up pretty well for mixing and matching just if there are some days when you'd rather not try them. One weekend of planning can really make a difference to a boring set of weekdays. Busy mornings? Grab-and-go!
