Thanks for this post! I used to eat way too many carbs in the morning and didn't realize that's why I'd crash by mid-morning and feel completely lethargic. I now start the day with a quick bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh fruit and yogurt or skim milk. I'm into Greek style yogurt lately because it has three times more protein than a lot of other common yogurts like Yoplait. I also love Kashi Golean Crunch (it was also mentioned in the second article you directed us to) because it's so packed with protein and fiber. Sometimes I'll have it with yogurt and it keeps me filled up till lunch. On the weekends when I have more time, I'll make an egg-white omelet filled with low-fat cheese, and lots of veggies like fresh spinach, red/orange/yellow peppers, mushrooms, broccoli or whatever I have in my fridge. I'm also drinking Muscle Milk once or twice a day to get added protein - I love the chocolate flavor.
