meals

Do you eat breakfast? Like the old cliche` states, it's the most important meal of the day. Why? Because the night before, after dinner, you start burning off those calories. Even sleeping, you're burning calories.
You get up in the morning, and if you don't eat, you continue burning calories. And if there's nothing in your stomach, those calories come from your own body. To maintain brain and muscle (heart) function, your body will cannibalize from your muscle tissue to create energy (aka food) for your vital organs. Yuk!
So eating a healthy (protein, fats and complex carbs) breakfast, breaks your 'fast', and gives your body the energy to function like a well-oiled machine.
Avoid bagels (unhealthy on soooooo many levels!), and use fats such as olive oil or coconut oil (to saute  your eggs). Be careful with breakfast meats - they tend to b packed with sodium.
