Why Macro Friendly Matters at Breakfast
A macro balanced breakfast helps keep blood sugar stable, supports muscle recovery, and reduces cravings later in the day. That’s why starting your morning with a meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs sets the tone for smarter choices all day long.
