Why I Wake Up Hungry, and Why I Love That

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I honestly wake up starving every morning, and I get excited about eating pretty much the same thing each time.

People differ, of course, but for me a morning meal to get my metabolism going has always been a must.

I also treasure the early hours, when nobody else is up and everything feels peaceful. That's why I always signed up for morning classes in undergrad. I noticed I did better when I'd eaten beforehand, since your brain demands a lot of calories.

A typical breakfast for me might be organic pasture raised local eggs, sourdough toast with avocado and micro greens, rare organic pasture raised steak, berries or a date, and one big bite of my favorite sauerkraut.
