The common quote we all know and that which we should always remember is to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper but I am sure most of us are doing the opposite way. I don't blame us but our hectic and busy schedules don't give us the enough time to eat a king breakfast which we do in the night watching sports or news.

But we should start the morning with a full, balanced and nutritious diet. As the day progresses we should start cutting down on carbs. This helps your metabolism to function actively and as a result you should have an energetic day and a sound sleep in the night without feeling full. The meal timing, amount and the frequency matter to have a sound body and mind.
Knowing all this I could not help myself with a good king like breakfast though I try my best to do that for my family. Morning activities are so chaotic with each family member doing their own routines, I had to prepare the breakfast and lunch for office. I should finish my yoga sessions in the class, then join my husband to purchase vegetables and run around to meet all the needs at home preparing and eating a rich king breakfast seemed impossible.

- Make sure the breakfast is complete with fruits, veggies and protein.
