We’re meeting Mira today at bar specialized in healthy breakfast to speak about nutrition.
At home I have tea and oatmeal for breakfast. When I go to a cafe, I try to have something healthy.
My breakfast is relatively simple – black tea and oatmeal. In the cafe, I choose from the daily menu so that it is healthy and light.
Mira doesn’t follow a rigid nutrition scheme, but here are some general guidelines based on his lifestyle and training needs.
Let’s look his tips together.
