Fight fat with breakfast.

Yes, you read that correctly! A recent study in The Journal of Nutrition found that eating a breakfast made with “slow-release” carbohydrates, such as oatmeal or bran cereal, 3 hours before you exercise may help you burn more fat. Here’s why: in the study eating “slow-release” carbohydrates didn’t spike blood sugar as high as eating refined carbohydrates, such as white toast. In turn, insulin levels didn’t spike as high and because insulin plays a role in signaling your body to store fat, having lower levels may help you burn fat.

Power up with protein.

Protein provides staying power, helping to keep you feeling full long after you've eaten, which is why it's such a great choice for breakfast. Better yet, recent research has shown that if you work out in the morning and re-fuel afterwards with a protein-packed breakfast you can boost muscle building. Find out just how much protein you need to eat here and get delicious protein-rich breakfast recipes.

During the six-week study, participants who ate a high-cal, high-fat breakfast before hitting the gym packed on an average of three pounds. The after-workout eaters? They gained almost no weight—although they ate the same breakfast. Find out why here.
