This is actually a piece of information that I abide by, but I want to know if I'm off base here. Is it better to have a protein and a fat in the morning versus a carb and a protein?
Yeah, there's not even a debate on that. If you eat protein in the morning, your blood sugar levels, your insulin sensitivity, your blood glucose for the rest of the day is better if you start off with protein. So let's say same calories, same macros, identical diet, except a carb meal is in the morning on one day. And then the other one is a protein meal. So you just switch out the meals.
Otherwise, everything else is identical. Blood sugar is going to be better controlled by starting off the day with protein. Now, someone might be like, well, why is that important? You know, who cares, right? Same calories, you'll gain the same fat or not. Here's why blood sugar is important. And I know there's a lot of debates like insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial health.
I don't need to go down and break down. This is where the science nerds in the health and fitness space lose people because they start to argue the minutiae and the mitochondrial health. And when the average person's like, whatever, they don't understand it.
