(7 o'clock in the morning. The kitchen light is on. Neha is opening the fridge wearing a hairband...)
Neha:
“Ankittt... I'm late for work every day, and you’re always on about protein-protein... tell me something quick that’s tasty and healthy!”
Me (holding a coffee mug):
“Nehu... I got you! Even top fitness experts in the U.S. in 2025 are saying – if your breakfast is packed with protein, your body stays in fat-burn mode all day!”
Neha (raising an eyebrow):
“Don’t just give me gyaan, show me what you’ve made…”
🧠 First Understand – Why High Protein Breakfast?
Builds muscle: Whether you're hitting the gym or trying to lose fat, nothing beats protein.
Keeps you full longer: Carbs leave you hungry in an hour. Protein gives long-lasting energy.
Boosts metabolism: Burns more calories – even without much effort!
