In the words of Lord of The Rings' Hobbit, Pippin:

"What about second breakfast?”

Mornings are busy. And if we are lucky to get a balanced breakfast, we are typically hungry by 9:30 or 10AM. Based on biofeedback and nutrition science, I believe Pippin was on to something.

Second breakfast is a great way to boost your energy!

Today I am talking about 3 reasons second breakfast is worth adding to your routine.

  1. Eating second breakfast is in alignment with biofeedback. It takes about 2-4 hours for your body to process a meal and snack and be ready for the next one. In other words, if you eat breakfast at 7:30, and then you are hungry again between 9:30-11:30, congrats! You did it right and it it time for a snack... aka second breakfast!
  2. It prevents you from overeating at lunch.
  3. It is a way to get in an extra dose of protein and color. This is the part where I clarify that when I say second breakfast I am not talking about a pumpkin spice latte and a donut (although every once in a while that is a nice treat)! If we are thinking of using this eating opportunity as a means to fuel our day… providing the body with protein and natural color would be the best combo! Most women don’t eat adequate protein, adding in a mid-morning snack give you an opportunity to add in another dose of protein. This could mean the difference from taking you from eating 75% of your total protein needs to 100%!

Tune in for my favorite GO-TO second breakfasts.

Cheers, and happy eating!
