In addition, Alexey advises you to have breakfast after a run in order to support your metabolism and not aggravate the process of catabolism – cellular decay. After sleep, it already prevails in the body, and after cardio it increases. If you still do not eat for several hours after training, this process will reach incredible intensity.
You would say that this seems to be not bad, because fat is burned during catabolism?
– Of course, we need to stimulate the processes of catabolism for fat burning, – agrees Alexey. – But we are not enemies to our muscles, and muscle tissue also breaks down along with fat.
So let’s get back to breakfast. If you want the process of fat burning after a run to last longer, breakfast should be protein. For example, three eggs without yolks and a cucumber. An omelet or cottage cheese casserole without flour and semolina are great options.
If your metabolism burns your morning meal without a trace, then you can afford, in addition to egg whites, and oatmeal. Or grab a slice of black bread with cheese two to three hours after breakfast.
