My healthy version of the ” full English” breakfast

My healthy version of the " full English" breakfast.

Complex carbs take longer to digest than simple carbs helping you to feel fuller longer with less blood sugar spikes keeping your energy levels constant. Especially when you got up to work at 5.30am and feel like you've had a whole day by midday! 
2 organic eggs (protein) fried in Waitrose bought organic butter, ( good fats) organic multigrain and wholewheat bread ( complex carbs) from the local bakery.
Streaky Duchy of Cornwall free range bacon ( protein)
Wilted spinach ( great spurce of iron)
Avocado (oddly it's a fruit and is also full of good fats )
Some fat in your diet is good for you and also helps you feel fuller longer. .

Breakfast for three on the beach- my human, her friend and me

Breakfast for three on the beach- my human, her friend and me. 
My human's breakfast is the healthier one of the two on the table with the poached eggs(protein) with smashed avocado(good fats) on granary toast(complex carbs-low glycaemic index that helos keep blood sugar levels more constant) and crispy bacon( protein). And an Espresso coffee 
The other is eggs Benedict (white muffin-simple carbs-not so good has a high Glycaemic index which creates blood sugar spikes) hollandaise sauce-eggs and olive oil protein and good fats if made with extra virgin olive oil- not made with a mix of processed and refined oils). And an Americano coffee. The black expresso is a better option. .

My home-cooked meat-free veggie Bank Holiday weekend cooked breakfast

My home-cooked meat-free veggie Bank Holiday weekend cooked breakfast.

Eggs from the local farm shop chickens, seeded wholemeal bread from the Island Bakery with rather a generous spread of organic butter, wilted spinach, beef tomato slices, avocado and mushrooms.

I always eat breakfast or brunch straight after working out, or doing any fitness or exercise.  Healthy mix of carbs and protein and good fats. .

A healthy breakfast sets you up for the day

A healthy breakfast sets you up for the day.

Hot water and lemon first. 
Avocado on sourdough toast (complex carbs)
Poached eggs ( protein) 
Watercress ( iron) 
A single Espresso coffee (better with food than on an empty tum as it affects your own natural energy resources)

Wednesday filming day

Wednesday filming day.

Even when you're filming a TV commercial in a studio and breakfast is served up for the crew members,  it's possible not to choose the bacon butty but have the healthy protein and low carb option.

Late breakfast after yesterday’s @slicefitness barrecore class

Late breakfast after yesterday's @slicefitness barrecore class.

Usually wheat free but today fancied a snall slice of sourdough toast with smashed avocado and some mixed seeds sprinkled on top. Good carbs and healthy fats.
Organic scrambled eggs for protein
Smoked salmon for Omega3 
A small grilled tomato.
Lasted all day on this big breakfast until an early supper.

A late breakfast after the pilates class

A late breakfast after the pilates class.

A cheese mushroom and spinach omelette .Yes you may have spotted Ketchup in the photo. 
Although Ketchup has sugar which I exclude from my own eating regime and recipe suggestions,  just sometimes a little taste of what you fancy is better than total denial so you dont crave.
