Skipping Breakfast And Subsequent Metabolism Alterations

Not eating breakfast can slow down your metabolism with 10%. Considering that an average person burns about 1,500 calories a day at least, it is not easy to estimate how much 10% is.

Imagine this. By decreasing your metabolic rate with that much you actually burn at least 150 calories less than what you would usually burn. Having in mind that one pound of fat has 3,600 calories you either fail to burn a pound of fat every 25 days approximately or you gain a pound if you still keep your calorie intake the same during the rest of the day.

Suggestion: Poor 3 – 4 Tbsp of quick oats in a bowl the night before, add fat free milk or water in the morning and microwave for one minute. Add a few frozen strawberries and a scoop of whey protein. It takes 2 minutes to prepare and another 2 – 5 to eat.
