I used to have a shake every day and still believe that a great shake with frozen berries ( and some vital nutrients) is probably the best way to start the day.  Buy a few different single packet protein shakes and see which one you like. PS dont follow instructions, because if you do, it will taste like poop and you will be on your way to Dunkin Donuts tomorrow.   Use one scoop instead or 2 half a packet. Find one that you like. Make sure there is enough frozen berries so you like the way it tastes. Think about it, You will be so far ahead of any other cereal or toast or bagel or some other fattening nutrition less breakfast.  I would even go so far as to say frozen bananas are OK,, ( they are starchy not ideal if you are trying to lose weight)  You are much better off with frozen berries ,   But again compared to what ? I am speaking to those of you that are still on bagels, cereal and other worthless breakfasts.  Even a Frozen banana shake with a good protein or complete nutrition powder is a step up.  Ideally again try to eventually find some berries that work for you.  Try the small packets till you find one that you like before you buy a big canister.

Hard boiled eggs are a perfect portable fast food.  As a matter of fact they are lightening fast food.  They are my new favorite.  I hard boil at least a half a dozen eggs a week, and use them for breakfast, late morning, early lunch, or late afternoon snack.  They have a complete complement of amino acids.  And I actually notice the omega 3’s actually put me in a good mood compared to days with other breakfast foods,

The reason I was inspired to write today was because I finally found out the way to make hard boiled eggs easy to peel… Steam them..  I just did my first batch for 30 minutes. The shell came off in one piece.  So my lightening fast breakfast just got yet another minute faster. So start to finish a hard boiled eggs supplies a complete complement of amino acids and a full meal in less than a minute including preparation and clean up.  PS on cholesterol.  Your body makes 1000 mg of cholesterol every day.  Your body also makes all of your hormones out of cholesterol.  It is essential.  Furthermore my mom had 300 cholesterol her whole life and lived healthy her whole life til her mid nineties.  Fortunately she never saw a doctor because they would have insisted on cholesterol lowering medicine, and your guess is as good as mine as to the consequences or side effects of those drugs. Not the least of which would have been a depletion of CoQ10 which I have read would lead to congestive heart failure… That is pretty much recognized by the mainstream today and most doctors advise taking CoQ10 for those taking statins, But what about all the other side effects ?  Cant really make  a single point without segueing all over the place ? Am I OCD ? or is it just that you cant even mention how to make egg peeling easier without talking about eggs cholesterol and other breakfast options ?
