The problem isn't willpower. It's the "Guessing Game."This guide is an engine. Learn the 4 layers, and you can build infinite combinations.
5 Myths Keeping You Stuck on Eggs
❌ Myth: Eggs Are the Only Real Protein
The Reality: Greek yogurt has more protein than 2 eggs. Cottage cheese has more than 3 eggs.
Evidence: When amino acids are matched, non-egg breakfasts produce identical satiety.
❌ Myth: You Have to Cook
The Reality: No-cook stacks (overnight oats, yogurt bowls) are the secret to consistency.
Evidence: Prep time is the #1 reason people skip breakfast. Remove the friction.
❌ Myth: Plant Protein is Inferior
The Reality: Combined plant sources (oats + hemp + nut butter) rival animal profiles.
Evidence: A 2021 Nutrients study showed that when plant proteins are combined, the difference from animal protein is statistically insignificant.
Why It Actually Matters
Blood Sugar Stability
Protein slows gastric emptying. No spike = no mid-morning crash.
Brain Scans
fMRI scans show high-protein breakfasts specifically reduced activity in the amygdala and hippocampus—brain regions that drive intense food cravings later in the day.
The Satiety "Sweet Spot"
Research shows the biggest appetite suppression benefit happens at 20-25g. Going to 40g offers diminishing returns. Don't stress about hitting extreme numbers; just hit the sweet spot.

Common Questions
Can I eat the same stack daily?
Yes, but variety feeds your microbiome. Try rotating between 2-3 stacks.
Is powder necessary?
No. Whole foods (yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu) should be primary. Powder is just a backup.
"Stop The Guessing."
Pick one stack. Buy the 3 ingredients. Start tomorrow. The system only works if you use it.
