There is scientific proof that eating a carbohydrate, a protein and a small amount of fat together as a meal will keep you feeling full for a longer period of time.
Our body needs all three sources of these nutrients to give us energy, keep us healthy and feeling satisfied. Whenever we take one away something is lacking and our bodies let us know. If you have ever tried giving up carbohydrates for any period of time you will start to realize you have no energy. Carbs are instrumental in giving us the "get up and go" we need every day.
It is also very important to feel satisfied after a meal. This will cut down on snacking during the day. A perfect meal consists of a carbohydrate some protein paired with a health fat. A great example of a good breakfast that will keep you satisfied and feeling great are eggs. Eggs are the perfect food, protein and a healthy fat. Scramble a couple of eggs in the morning add a piece of whole grain toast and you are set for a few hours. If you are pressed for time, plan ahead. Every week I hard boil a dozen eggs and keep them ready in my refrigerator for the week. On the go I grab two of these hard boiled eggs and a 1/2 cup of granola. This meal keeps me going from one project to the next all morning long.
Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
