MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MORNING MUNCH !! 

Whether you are a morning person who bounds out of bed or a night owl who doesn't function well in the early hours, breakfast can give your day a kick-start.  

How many times have you been told that you SHOULD eat breakfast, because it is "GOOD FOR YOU"?  Honestly, who puts breakfast higher on the priority list than extra sleep or logging more miles, because it is "GOOD FOR YOU"?  The good news is that breakfast can be fitted into your daily schedule with a minimum of fuss and effort if you make it part of your morning routine. 

There is not a rule stating that you must eat muesli with acidophilus yoghurt topped with lecithin, banana and more bran to be an athlete. Any carbohydrate foods (with a moderate amount of fibre, rich in vitamins and minerals) are suitable. Choose a combination of the following items and vary your choices if you get bored with eating the same thing every morning.
