Are you looking to improve the quality of your breakfast? Do you find that you have low energy, are irritable, or are hungry throughout the day?
A good place to start is improving and alternating your breakfast options. Not eating breakfast at all, fueling your body only on caffeine, or eating bagels and cold cereal can cause a major drop in your blood sugar levels. Remember that carbohydrates are like kindling in your body- you will burn through them quickly! And fat combined with protein are like solid logs that burn over a longer period of time. Breakfast doesn’t have to be boring.
Are you willing to try something new and see how you feel?
Here’s a week worth of grain free/ high protein ideas:
“The Classic”- Eggs any style you chose with Bacon or Sausage
“On the Go”- Hardboiled Eggs, a handful of nuts, some dried fruit or jerky
“The New York”- Smoked Salmon with sliced cucumber and tomato
“Quickie”- A blend of chopped nuts, pieces of dried coconut, some dried fruit with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
“The Cobb”- An arugula salad with bacon, tomatoes, avocado with or without hard boiled eggs
“Lazy Sunday”- Almond meal pancakes slathered with warm nut butter
“Liquid Courage”- A coconut milk smoothie with almonds and or nut butter and frozen berries

Those all look good, but compare nutrition values to my pre-paleo breakfast choices:
“the coffee” – variations include “the coffee, with half and half!”
“the toasted bagel yum yum scarf more carbs scarf yum…wait I’m hungry again already”
“the reward” (this is where I run in the morning and then eat an enormous, silly breakfast sort of to congratulate myself)
“the Tully’s” (also “the Starbucks” or the best “the Mioposto”) – go into coffee shop intending to get a coffee, then also get whatever looks tasty in the pastry-type area – if it says “Top Pot” on the label that’s a bonus!
Will these choices also support by Crossfit goals?
I like that you indicate that these were your “pre” paleo breakfast choices. I’m curious to hear if you notice a difference in your energy levels and performance with a more paleo aligned breakfast? The good news is some of your pre paleo meals can still work: the reward can be something like extra bacon or coconut cream on some fresh berries!
Your choices will be supported by us, however to quote Robb Wolf in a podcast I just heard: “I can beat the dog (expletive for urine) out of you but it will not undo bad nutrition. Bad nutrition will (expletive for rooster) block fat loss”
The bottom line is to feed and water yourself well!
“expletive for rooster” LOL
