THE saying goes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day — but apparently only if you eat the right thing.
Those hoping to hear the full English is the way forward will be sorely disappointed too.

According to William Cole, who specialises in nutrition, what we should be eating first thing is a little more unusual.
He told Mind, Body, Green that a breakfast crammed with fat is the key to maintaining energy levels throughout the day, and eating this way will make you more productive.

So what does that mean food wise? William’s best breakfast is an avocado, salmon and two poached eggs served on a sweet potato.

Yep, sorry to report there is no bread, beans or sausage involved. He does advise toasting the potato though.
The science behind this choice is all to do with stopping your body having sugar highs and lows.
On top of that, the brain is actually made up for 60 per cent fat.
When we don’t have enough good fat (this is not an excuse to munch chocolate) in our diet, the brain can’t function optimally.

od of time, so you’ll find it easier to concentrate and you will be more productive.

The only problem with this breakfast is the Salmon. Being high up on the oceanic food chain they accumulate toxic heavy metals, principally Mercury. Warnings have been issued that pregnant women should not eat any Salmon. Everyone else should limit their intake to a portion in about six months. A nice fatty Delmonico steak would be a good substitute, something like this:


Of course that is a pretty big steak for breakfast, maybe a third or half would do. Steak, eggs, and hash browns were a staple western working man's breakfast years ago.

Squid, I don't think anyone other than Californians eat this stuff and since they are all whack jobs I wonder if Avocados aren't the cause. Everyone eats fish and eggs but Avocados are only plentiful in California and Mexico where the trees they grow on are known as Testicle trees.
