Talking Breakfast with a Nutrition Coach
Breakfast is important for weight loss and muscle gain. When you skip breakfast, you're more likely to overeat later in the day. Eating breakfast also helps to boost your metabolism and give you the energy you need to power through your morning.
There is no one-size-fits-all breakfast. What works for one person may not work for another. Experiment with different breakfast foods and find what works best for you. Some people prefer a high-protein breakfast, while others prefer a high-carb breakfast.
Don't be afraid to get creative with your breakfast. There are endless possibilities when it comes to breakfast. You can make a smoothie, eat oatmeal, have eggs, or even have a protein shake. Get creative and have fun with it!
Here are some additional tips for making the most of your breakfast:
Choose nutrient-rich foods. When you're choosing breakfast foods, look for foods that are high in protein, fiber, and vitamins. These foods will help you feel full and satisfied, and they will also provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function properly.
Make breakfast part of your routine. Just like you wouldn't skip brushing your teeth in the morning, don't skip breakfast. Make it a habit to eat breakfast every day.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're struggling to figure out what to eat for breakfast, talk to a nutritionist or registered dietitian. They can help you create a breakfast plan that meets your individual needs.

The Top 4 Reasons your Nutrition Plan has Failed
You want to look better, feel better and even sleep better. You know that taking care of your nutrition is important. And you have tried. But it isn’t working… at least it doesn’t work for very long. Nothing you try seems to stick. AND YOU BLAME YOURSELF. You think that if you just had more willpower… if you just had more discipline… if you just cared more… you would be better.
Here’s the truth: It’s not your fault.
Why You Should Take Amino Acids
We lift weights and train to build bigger stronger muscles, but exactly how does the building process work? Resistance training triggers protein synthesis, a signal that tells our body to use proteins to construct new muscle tissue. Supplementing with BCAA’s during and after resistance training can increase the protein synthesis signaling, meaning more muscle growth! Even without resistance training BCAA’s can aid in the preservation of lean tissue and help prevent fat gain!

How to Become Sugar Savvy
If you’re having trouble meeting your nutrition, weight loss, or fitness goals -- or just generally feeling tired and run down -- you could be eating too much sugar.
When we talk about sugar, most people think of ice cream, cookies, or soda, but sugar lurks everywhere in processed, packaged food. Just because a product is labeled “organic,” “all-natural,” or “gluten-free,” doesn’t mean it’s healthy or “sugar-free”.

Is your pre-WOD safe? Does it work?
Supplements are part of a billion-dollar industry. All of us need to improve our nutrition by eating whole foods, mostly plants, and not too much. But sometimes, there are still gaps in our nutrition. This is when supplements become important. Some supplements are no-brainers: protein powder, creatine, and a multi-vitamin should be taken by almost everyone. Plus most people are also deficient in vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc.
But do you need to take a pre-workout (pre-WOD) supplement to boost performance, muscle gain, and fat loss? And if so, is your pre-WOD both safe and effective?
