Every pound of muscle burns approximately 50 calories every day, just doing nothing.
I rely on breakfast to give me a kickstart of energy in the morning, so I choose my foods accordingly.
Apples, grapes... any kind of fruit gives me the energy I need to get through my busy day.
We only have a certain amount of energy for each day. If we use it for the wrong purpose, if we focus on the negative or dwell on whoever hurt us, then we're not going to have the energy we need for the right purposes.
I find that protein wakes up my brain and gets me ready for the rest of my day.
I need energy every day. Whether I'm leaving home and going to practice or getting in the car with my two kids to take my son to school - I need all the energy I can get.
I have fallen in love with granola, in life and at work. I exercise every morning, and then I have a monstrous day in front of me. Granola gives me energy. It's quick, tasty, and healthy.
A human being at rest runs on 90 watts. That's how much power you need just to lie down. And if you're a hunter-gatherer and you live in the Amazon, you'll need about 250 watts. That's how much energy it takes to run about and find food.
Eating breakfast revs our metabolic engines so that they're ready for prime calorie burn all day.
For some reason, ever since I was a little kid, I wake with the most energy of the day, and it slowly declines from there.
I like to enjoy foods that keep my energy levels stable. Otherwise I'd likely crash at some point during the day.
