You can build the foundation for a winning day by simply starting the day with breakfast. I know you've heard it before, it's true, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you are grabbing your house keys and heading out in the mornings without eating trying to save time, or calories you are squandering the savings. By skipping breakfast, the fuel that your body and brain need to get started and help you focus on high performance--or simply focus is missing. The effort to save calories by skipping a meal cancels out because by midday you're pretty hungry and are more likely to eat more, and consume more calories than you would have if you had started the day with breakfast.
