A Heavy Breakfast

Eggs make the most wholesome breakfast. This is because they contain amino acids and lot of protein, this will make you feel fuller for a longer time, keeping you from not gorging food the entire day. Pair it with traditional Choreg bread and coffee too.

But you can surely cut off gluten from it. Get the whole wheat version of it. That contains a lot of fibre and will thus help you digesting the other complex calories you’d take.
