Moreover, missing your breakfast will reduce your productivity.

So what you should do? We all agree that breakfast is so important, and therefore now you have to never go with it. But just make sure you can control well your calorie intake for every session (breakfast, lunch and dinner).

For breakfast, you can try with a healthy mix of whole grains and protein (around 300 calories), like a proper sandwich with apple butter & peanut butter.

Be wise on your go-to-order!

You may have a habit to eat at your favorite restaurants up to more than 7 times a week. This will not be a problem if you have adequate budget and also choose the right foods, otherwise this will be a serious problem for your diet.

Start for little ways, such as if you used to order a large bowl of pasta then you can replace it with a grilled chicken. And why not to cut back to just 2-3 a week or once a week if necessary (also will be better to your finance lol)!
