IFBB Pro Fouad Abiad takes you into the kitchen to show you how to make the ultimate high-protein omelet.
Busy mornings can make it all too tempting to skip breakfast and bolt out the door. No matter how rushed your mornings are as you head out for work, make eating breakfast an essential part of your daily routine. Your goal first thing in the morning is to force your body out of a catabolic state and into a muscle-building one soon after waking. That’s why Fouad always recommends consuming a solid whole food source of protein for breakfast, when possible. This is the time when your muscles are most desperate for nutrition, following an overnight fast. Ensuring you are feeding your body a substantial meal that includes a solid hit of protein is the surest way to halt muscle breakdown and start your day off right. Use this bodybuilder-friendly breakfast to kick start muscle building and perform at your best all day.
