Eat Like an Athlete
You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And athletes know more than anyone how important it is to start the day with an energy boost and a metabolism jumpstart. A healthy breakfast can provide your body with the vitamins and nutrients it needs and help stave off hunger, all while being naturally delicious. For a healthy way to start your day, skip the sugary options and stick to protein-packed eggs and milk, fruits and whole-wheat toast.
