I’m a very judgemental person. Next to my flakiness, it’s my worst characteristic. I’m especially disdainful of people who don’t eat breakfast. Don’t they know it’s the key to health, happiness, and a whittled waist? I think as I smugly eat my oatmeal, flax seed, rice milk, and berries. Turns out that bowl of oatmeal isn’t nearly enough for maximum benefit. A recent study found that breakfast should account for half your total daily calorie consumption. “In the morning, your body is primed to convert food into energy right away,” the author of the study told Vogue. Obese women who began their day with a high-carb, high-protein. calorie-packed breakfast and then followed a carb-restricted diet for the rest of the day lost more weight than those who went light on the carbs/calories from morning to night. Woah.  That means you should be shooting for nearly 1,000 calories in your first meal. English breakfasts all around, then.
