Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey

You've heard it before, but it's true.  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body and brain have just gone hours without nutrition.  Carbs are good to consume as your glucose tolerance is at its highest in the morning .  Just make sure these are slow absorbing, complex carbs like oatmeal.  Sugary cereals, big bagels, and muffins won't cut it. 

My breakfast of choice is the Ron Swanson special, slightly modified.

1 cup coffee (black)
2 egg whites
1 whole egg 
(Scrambled)
2 Slices Applegate Farms Turkey Bacon

Oatmeal
1/2 cup raw oats
16 oz water
Pinch of salt

This turkey bacon is awesome.  It tastes like one of those big turkey legs at the fair.  Two slices will give you 12g of protein, and just 3g of fat.  

Eating egg whites will get rid of the cholesterol in the egg yolks, but I keep one whole egg to keep them from tasting like an old rubbery tire.

Oatmeal gives me the slow digesting carbs I need to power my brain in the morning.

This is an almost perfectly balanced breakfast and it took me about 7 min to cook which is why this is my breakfast of choice almost every morning.
