 A superior way to do breakfast is eating unprocessed foods in the morning that provide healthy, complete proteins and slow-digesting carbohydrates. Getting enough protein during the day — which the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health defines as 7 grams of protein for every 20 pounds of body weight — will curb your hunger hormones and keep you feeling fuller longer.
