I saw an infomercial on tv this morning about eating less "quick" carbs and more complex carbs along with protein. Example, for breakfast it's not good to just eat a bowl of cereal or multigrain waffle. You have to include fruit, and a lean protein, milk or yogurt. I'm bad at doing that. I know I also need to add more fruits and vegetables to my daily menu. Yesterday I downloaded the newest "Biggest Loser" book to my NOOK. I noticed that in their menu they also have included more protein at breakfast.
