Yogurt, fruit or a shake with as many proteins will be the perfect start to your day. Very important! Do not ever think that, by skipping breakfast, you get rid of the accumulation of calories. You will not succeed than you starve your body will enter a process of conservation and will accumulate fat from other meals of the day.
