Breakfast.
Some seem to underestimate the value of breakfast. The first important thing , that is there in bodybuilding, is correct diet.
Everybody knows that - to build something, you must supply the bricks. Well, the bricks of our body is food. Proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins.
Our body is a survival. It has (and can) to survive in various situations, sometimes difficult (being left alone on island), sometimes not (our nice and easy civilized life, in a computer age). Thus, one of its important "features" is energy preservation. Our bodies know when we have enough food, and when we lack it. Thus, when we have lack of food (not eating anything for a long time, because of a diet, or because we were asleep) , it can go into "preservation mode" and slow metabolism process. And this is the last thing we want, if we are into bodybuilding (or fitness). We target fast metabolism. We want food digesting, converting into energy,becoming source for muscles, and then leaving us ,and not turning into fat, or becoming another dormant energy source.
If you stop eating for a long time (wrong type of diet) , you feel sleepy and tired all the time. This is the cause of a food shortage - body wants to sleep and preserve energy, and that is not our target, isn't it? We need bodybuilding food, and not sleeping one.
So, we established, eating frequently is important, to keep our metabolism in a good rate and us being full of energy.
Lets get back to breakfast. We are after ~8hours of sleep, and we have probably not eaten anything 2-4 hours before going to bed. In this case we have 10-12 hours of food shortage in our body, and this must be fixed immediately.
To refill our energy sources, and get the body working, instead of "preserving" , eat good and healthy morning meal. Bread with cheese, cottage cheese, salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, and more vegetables), eggs. Any other dairy products, such as milk (great with cereals!), yogurt would also do the thing.

Try avoiding fatty things, because you are now selecting yourself source of energy for the day, till you have your lunch, and that is a long time. Though, don't neglect fats at all, because they are important for our several systems. We'll tell about fats role in the foods in our next posts.
