Why you need to begin your day with a high protein breakfast

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but are you having a proper, nutritious breakfast?

In India, the most common breakfast mistake is loading up on carbs—for instance, a popular breakfast combination constitutes paranthas with a hot cup of chai. The second most common breakfast mistake is not eating one at all!

While carbs give you instant energy, it isn’t the only nutrient necessary for good health. An ideal breakfast should not only be rich in carbohydrates but all nutrients—especially proteins.

Protein is necessary to ensure that the carbs consumed during breakfast is digested slowly, giving you sufficient energy to work until lunch. Secondly, including protein-rich foods in your diet is essential if you work out in the mornings, as protein is crucial for muscle recovery.

Vegetarian protein is generally considered incomplete (i.e., they do not have all the essential amino acids that the human body needs). When eaten together with cereals, you get their full protein value.

A good high-protein breakfast could be:

  • Milk and eggs
  • Bread and eggs
  • Oats and milk
  • Paneer-stuffed rotis
  • Egg bhujia and roti
  • Idli and sambar

Apart from traditional spreads such as those listed above, you can try these high-protein breakfast recipes for a dash of variety and taste:

    You can make a french toast by replacing eggs with mashed bananas and powdered alomnds with milk. Add chia seeds and flax seeds for a protein boost.
