Foods I eat for breakfast


A work day morning is often a rush for most people. I often find myself in a haste to get to work squeezing in a few more minutes of sleep and I'm sure at times you may have skipped breakfast simply because it's easy to let it fall low in your list of priorities or you just weren't feeling hungry.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should be eaten within two hours of waking up to literally 'break the fast'. Eating breakfast helps to boost your metabolism for the day, enhance your immune system and mood so that you are fuelled to kickstart your day so I never skip this meal and I find that having a few go-to options will help you stick to a healthy routine of eating in the morning.

For breakfast, I usually choose one of the options below because they are quick and easy to make. I usually decide what I eat depending on how I feel that day, what I've got and what needs to be eaten before it goes off. By no means am I calling myself a nutritionist or a health coach and that this is what you should be eating but these are just things I eat and like to eat. Feel free to try incorporate them into your eating routine or mix it up by adding/removing different ingredients so that it suits you :)

Hello and welcome to my blog...

As with all the fun I get round when Instagramming (see my posts here at @k_fit_journey- new account here in keeping with this blog address: @fitnhealthyinhk), my only thought was to get round to blogging so that I can share my thoughts on health and fitness with you in more detail. As a 20-something year old who previously lived in the UK and now resides in hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, I found it harder to stick to maintain my healthy lifestyle.  Although Hong Kong is a city where you can find almost anything and everything, I've found that in comparison to the UK, access to healthy alternatives are limited (and more expensive!) so I thought that it would a good idea to post along and share my thoughts to others in Hong Kong (and abroad) how I try to keep track on maintaining a healthy lifestyle in keeping fit- whether by at home workouts, easy clean recipes, health product reviews and options for healthy dining in this city.
