Balance your breakfast
Eating a mix of complex carbs, healthy fats and protein ensures your energy is slow-released throughout the day, and theres no better time to pay attention to this nutritional balance than first thing in the morning. Thats when you set the tone for the whole day. While a breakfast of simple carbs would set you up for a crash so youre craving sugar a couple of hours later, a more balanced approach will keep you going till lunchtime.
