‍

With every meal it is ideal to be eating both vegetables and lean protein; most of us don't get enough vegetables in our diet, and starting with a cooked breakfast can help you to boost your vegetable intake.

‍

We don't store protein in our bodies in the same way that we do with carbohydrates and fats, which means we need to give our bodies a steady flow of protein. A bonus of eating protein is that it helps to make you feel full, which will be particularly helpful if you have difficulty in getting or keeping your body in the shape you want.

‍

What is vegetarian bacon? It is made with soy protein and has less salt and saturated fat than traditional bacon. This doesn't mean that standard bacon is banned, but it is a food that fits into the 'eat less of' bucket, which is why we like to give you recipe ideas like this one, which use different types of foods. You can pick up vegetarian bacon in most supermarkets.
