Bodybuilding breakfast!


When your alarm clock jangles, do you smack the snooze button until the final instant that you have to haul your sorry carcass out of bed, jump into your clothes, and race to work?



Bad idea. While you sleep, your blood sugar levels nosedive. If you don't replenish them by breaking your fast (breakfast, pretty clever, huh?), chances are that the day's demands will break you. You won't have enough energy to
even compete in the rat race, much less win it.
A good, nutritional breakfast is essential to the Hard-Body Plan. And it's strategic. Because you burn food more efficiently in the morning, you'll start the day with foods that are most quickly converted into energy: carbohydrates and proteins. If you consistently eat a Hard-Body breakfast of cereals, fruits, and fat-free milk instead of a Homer Simpson breakfast of doughnuts, bacon, and half-and-half, you'll look less and less like the Pillsbury Doughboy and more like the stud muffin that nature intended you to be.



Hot Cereal That’s Whey Cool
• 2 large whole egg
• 6 large egg whites
• 2 slices whole-wheat bread
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1/2 cup orange juice
Scramble the whole egg and egg whites in a bowl. Fry them in a pan spritzed with vegetable oil spray, dump them onto the bread, and garnish with sliced tomato. Coat the bread with spicy mustard if you like. If you're wide awake or ambitious, or if you just want to impress yourself, add green peppers, onions, or other vegetables to the eggs. If you're in a hurry, munch on some of the tomato slices while cooking the eggs, toss a couple of slices on the sandwich, wrap the works in a napkin, and eat it while you drive. Gulp down a glass of orange juice on your way out the door.

Eating Healthy at McDonald’s
• 1 McDonald's Egg McMuffin
• 3 containers orange juice
As guilty pleasures go, the Egg McMuffin isn't the worst offender. Burger King's breakfast biscuit sandwiches contain considerably more fat. Just make sure that the McMuffin is only an occasional indulgence.
