Interestingly, many health food experts would tell you that an American breakfast isn’t healthy at all – sugary carbs, fatty eggs and fattier bacon. I was reading Born to Run (a man researches why some people at the corners of the earth can run hundreds of miles for fun) and he came across someone who suggested he eat salad for breakfast.

My power breakfast consists of some sort of whole grain (usually barley) and a protein (chicken/turkey/quinoa) and a serving of vegetable. For the protein I frequently chop up a couple of slices of cold cuts. I also have an easier time eating steamed broccoli if I’m eating bites while getting ready in the morning.
