1 Eggcellent
Egg protein helps you build muscles while keeping you ripped. In a recent study, people ate an equal number of calories for breakfast but the first group got theirs from eggs and the second from bread. The egg group felt the need to eat less throughout the day, which helped keep them leaner.
2 Sugar buff
Mom was right. You should eat all your breakfast if you want to be big and strong. Eating fortified cereals lowers your levels of homocysteine, a chemical that increases your risk of cardiovascular diseases and decreases your ability to build muscles.
3 Fibre of your being
Wheat flakes not only keep you healthy but they can also help you run. Research has now found that eating wheat flakes as a pre-run breakfast will help you run an extra eight minutes longer than if you had eaten corn flakes.
4 No pain again
A tough training session can leave your muscles battered, but a dose of vitamin E is proven to specifically reduce this kind of muscular pain. You can get this by munching your favourite cereal because you absorb 26 times more vitamin E from fortified cereals than you get in pill form, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
5 Centuries of life
People who lived longer (more than 90 years) had breakfast on a regular basis, according to research by Atlanta's Stress Institute. This could be because by eating a wholegrain cereal you can keep your weight down by hindering fat getting into your blood.
6 Spoon off your belly
Guys who eat breakfast burn an extra 150 calories. You burn the same calories climbing stairs for 30 minutes. Doesn't that wonderful spread seem a tad more appetising?
7 Smell the coffee
If you find it difficult to stomach food before an early morning training session, then neck a cup of coffee. Research shows the caffeine hit will help you exercise longer and harder than if you drank nothing. Another cup post-session will reduce the soreness.
8 Cold man mountain
Only a healthy body will add muscle and a case of sniffles can undo weeks of gym work. The fix is some muesli. Scientists at Cardiff University found that regular breakfast eaters were less likely to suffer colds and fl u.
9 Bread winner
People eating sugary cereals or refined carbs had lower BMI than those who skipped breakfast. Stick to low glycaemic index (GI) snacks like nuts to release energy slowly and keep you lean.
10 Eat more, weigh less
Bleary-eyed scoffers are a step ahead. A 13-year study found men who eat breakfast are 12 per cent less likely to be overweight.
