There are two types of people: those who eat breakfast, and those who don’t. Breakfast eaters, whether it’s a bowl of cereal or a gourmet omelette, love to start their day off with a boost of energy and hopefully some delicious food in their mouths! Some of those who skip this important meal will say that they just don’t have time, or food in the morning makes their stomach turn. At Tortilla Flats in Santa Fe, we are definitely breakfast lovers and we can’t wait to change non-breakfast eaters minds with authentic Mexican favorites including huevos rancheros and our famous breakfast burrito.
Why Start Your Day With a Well-Balanced Meal?
Boost your metabolism: Your body is in a fasting state in the morning, which means your metabolism is low. Getting some food into your stomach within one to two hours of waking up will kickstart your metabolic rate and will provide your body with necessary energy (and additional calorie burning).- Curb cravings: If you have ever skipped breakfast in the morning, you are probably familiar with mid-morning hunger and cravings that come with it. Hunger doesn’t care about timing either, you may feel hunger pangs in the middle of an important meaning, leaving you with a loss of focus and needing any type of food. Easy to grab foods are commonly high-calorie, high-sugar foods that, while they fill you up, are not healthy choices.
- Help your muscles: When your body isn’t getting the calories it needs, it will pull energy from your muscles. If you’ve been working on toning your biceps or abs, help your body out with a high-protein breakfast.
- Energy boost: Breaking the fasting state that your body is in each morning will help you keep up your energy throughout the morning. Give your body a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals to prevent fatigue before lunchtime.
What’s the Solution? Come to Tortilla Flats!
