Breakfast Determines Daily Energy
Since breakfast determines the amount of energy you have for the day and establishes your metabolic rate, it should be high in protein and supply some fat and carbohydrates, although it need not be a large meal. Lunches should likewise be high in protein and moderate in carbohydrate and should contain some fat. Dinners or suppers can be perhaps more graciously served but, calorically speaking, they should be no larger than breakfast or lunch. All meals should be delicious. The daily menus may be somewhat as follows:
Breakfast
- Orange or grapefruit juice or a vitamin-C tablet with other juice or fruit
¼ to ½ pound liver, chops, steak, hamburger, brains, kidneys, mixed grill, fish, or other meat; or eggs with another protein as ham or sausage, or cheese omelet, or eggs scrambled with powdered skim milk and/or cheese or brains, or an egg served with melted cheese on toast (bacon I consider an appetizer rather than food); or wheat germ and middlings or any whole-grain cereal cooked in milk and/or with powdered milk added; or waffles, hotcakes, or muffins made of high-protein ingredients - whole-grain toast or bread if desired; cheese or peanut butter used instead of butter or margarine if enjoyed
- milk or milk drink, preferably tiger’s milk
- coffee if you must; preferably Sanka, postum, or other coffee substitute, perhaps made by adding milk instead of water to instant varieties
- daily, immediately after eating, if used: capsules or tablets of vitamins A, C, E, calcium and/or trace minerals, enzymes and/or hydrochloric acid; vitamin-D capsule every Sunday if desired
