Typical UK breakfasts (cereal, toast, pastry) are carb-heavy and produce blood sugar spike followed by crash within 2-3 hours. Protein-heavy breakfasts (eggs, yoghurt, salmon, cottage cheese) produce sustained energy and satiety until lunch.
What protein-heavy looks like
Greek yoghurt with berries and nuts. Eggs (any style) with avocado. Smoked salmon with cream cheese on whole-grain. Cottage cheese with fruit. Each delivers 20-30g protein vs. 5-8g in typical cereal.
Try one week of protein-heavy breakfasts. Most people notice sustained energy, less mid-morning hunger, less impulse snacking. The pattern often persists.
