Do you get enough protein at breakfast?


DOUBLE SMILE šŸ˜šŸ˜Hope you all have a productive Friday like these peanut butter chia seed toasts šŸžšŸ˜šŸ„œ! Combining nutrition with fun šŸ˜‚. Do you get enough protein at breakfast? Studies have shown that an equal distribution of 20-30g of protein at main meals throughout the day stimulates maximal muscle protein synthesis rather than having a skewed distribution such as minimal protein at breakfast and lots at dinner. Also having more than 30g protein at one meal does not increase muscle synthesis further. Two four seeded wholegrain bread with 6tsp chia seeds and 2tbs peanut butter. Energy: 1000+410+1040=2450kJ. Protein: 9+5+11= 25g. Grain serves (2): two slices of bread. Meat/alternative serves (2.08): 40g peanut butter and 22.5g chia seeds.
