Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Said, someone once and now everyone’s stolen their saying. But, still, it is super important to eat breakfast because you’ve essentially been ‘fasting’ all night whilst you’ve been asleep. I don’t believe that you need to eat at a certain time, like an hour after waking, or anything like that because I’ve not seen evidence that it really matters. I usually eat about 1-1.5 hours after waking up on weekdays and it’s definitely within 30 mins on weekends when showering before eating is 100% not necessary.
How To Stay On Track With Food
Staying on track on a ‘diet’ can be super tough. That’s why I’m so glad that I’ve finally found a lifestyle that I feel like I can stick to! I’ve done my fair share of fad diets and workouts in my time so I finally feel like I’m there with something sustainable! Here I’ve got some tips on how to stay on track with your food and not cave when someone hands you a £1 McDonalds voucher in the street.

Cookie Dough Protein Overnight Oats Recipe
I’m usually an egg and bacon kinda girl but on occasion, when I fancy a sweet breakfast I reach for the oats. Oats are a little powerhouse, low in calories, fat and high in slow releasing carbs. They’re also amazingly versatile. I love porridge when it’s cold and overnight oats during the summer. This is my favourite overnight oats recipe at the moment, it tastes like healthy cookie dough and it’s amazing topped with fruit.

The fitness revolution is here. There’s no way of avoiding it – from Instagram models flaunting their sculpted curves, to the rise of squats for developing your those booty gains.

Protein Rice Krispy Bars
One thing I love about cooking, if you could call these treats cooking, is the fact that you can make something you love a bit more enjoyable by removing the guilt!

Top 3 Breakfast Protein Shakes
On days where you don’t have much time it’s great to be able to get all your breakfast nutrients in one tasty hit using shakes and smoothies. Here are the best protein shakes for breakfast that I think are really tasty and also hit all those protein, carb and fat macros spot on. My preference is towards whey protein shakes but if you don’t like to eat dairy products or are vegan or lactose intolerant then there are a huge range of dairy-free protein powders out there on the market!
Low Carb Cheesy Egg Muffins Recipe
Egg muffins are an awesome snack to have on hand in the week, especially if you find yourself reaching for the biscuit tin or a quick slice of toast when hunger strikes. They take about 10 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to cook in the oven so they’re really quick and easy to make. These muffins are also seriously tasty and are really versatile. You can add whatever flavours that you like but these cheesy spinach versions are my favourite at the moment – they’re great for using up leftovers!
