Fat Burning Breakfast Recipes

Protein is an essential nutrient to guarantee major fat burning.  Adding protein at breakfast is a great way to start your day off with AMAZING energy by stabilizing those blood sugars!!  A common question is how much protein should we consume at the core 3 meals?  This question has many different answers…but the latest science is showing that 20 grams for each of the main meals is very essential to building lean muscle tissue even for a male.  So here are a few of my favorite breakfast combinations for people on the run:)
