Skipping breakfast costs more than calories. The highest quality, 5 min protein options.


If the goal is preserving and building muscle, breakfast is one of your best daily decisions.

Here’s why:

After ~10–12 hours without food, your body is primed to absorb nutrients—especially the amino acids from protein.
This is a high-efficiency window. When you hit it, you get more return for the same effort.

A lot of women overlook it.

What I commonly hear:
“I’m not hungry, plus there’s not enough time.”
They figure the calorie reduction from a skipped meal will be beneficial.

But for women, especially 35+, this missed opportunity for dosing protein erodes muscle on top of normal age related muscle loss.

Less muscle means:

  • lower metabolism
  • rebound weight gain
  • lower energy
  • less joint & bone protection
  • worse hormone regulation

That’s shotgun fat loss: chasing scale numbers instead of outcomes. There’s a more laser-focused way to do this—with better, safer & faster results!

Highest-ROI Breakfast Proteins (digestibility & amino acid composition)

  • Eggs
  • Greek yogurt
  • Cottage cheese
  • Soy
  • Lean beef
  • Fish
  • Lean chicken
  • Legumes
  • Milk
  • Whey
  • Turkey
  • Lean pork

How to make this convenient (5 minutes per day OR 35 min per week):

  • Make a little extra dinner protein the night before. Net extra time = 0 min.
  • Store proteins in glass containers → home fridge → work fridge → back to home fridge
  • Keep an electric kettle + mug at work for bone broth sticks that dissolve in hot water.

Keep it healthy + convenient: make it a game and not a chore–the brain thrives with less friction.

Hi Fabulous Friends! Week 3 is where most people quit their new year diet/exercise program. Not because something is wrong with them.Because effort feels high and results feel non existent. We’re calling it out and choosing to be proactive, not reactive. I’m sending a short burst 10 email series to move us out of the quitters window and into the next phase.Life is already hard. We don’t need to make it harder. Here’s the truth plans don’t explain: The effort → results curve is not linear....

Hi Fabulous Friends!! The same mindset we try to teach the kids about becoming mentally strong athletes is the exact same mindset required to get healthier, stronger, and leaner as adults. Yet it’s almost completely overlooked. That’s why so many well-intentioned people are getting sicker instead of stronger—not because they’re lazy or undisciplined, but because they’re missing the framework. In sports, mistakes aren’t failures—they’re crucial data. They reveal the constraint. After Kobe...
