This is going to blow your mind.
Eating oatmeal (porridge is obviously the correct name) for breakfast is not only the worst way to start your day, it's basically identical to being chased by a tiger.
Yep. Eating oats is like being hunted by a vicious predator that wants to eat you.
This surprised me, because when I eat oats for breakfast I have a happy tummy, but I imagine if I was chased by a tiger I would definitely shit my pants.
But, if we put that extraordinary claim to one side for the moment, breakfasts that are higher in protein are probably better for your appetite regulation than breakfasts that are lower in protein and higher in sugar.
So, if you currently eat Cheerios and orange juice for breakfast and you are hungry very quickly afterwards, maybe add some protein and see if it helps, you know?
Sorry if this sensible advice isn’t extreme enough for social media algorithms.
From now on I will try and make it sound like every nutrition decision you make is basically life or death.
