Start with Fat
Fat is a slow-digesting source of energy and is great for feeling full and avoiding energy crashes. Many people report improved mental functioning when they consume high-fat breakfasts in the morning, so try this kind of breakfast when working on big projects for a boost of brain power. Depending on your goals, you can adjust egg recipes to have more or less fat. Use whole eggs and full-fat cheese if you want more fat or all egg whites and low-fat cheese if you want a meal with less fat.
