Arely Ayala’s First Meal of the Day  

Arely Ayala says her protein-centric breakfast has significantly impacted her success this year. Ayala said:

“Within bodybuilding, nutrition

plays a fundamental role in achieving the objectives and many people

today may have a lot of discipline and do not miss their workouts, but

they fail to eat and eat a proper diet. So I want to share with you

some of my favorite foods that I use for breakfast, as a pre-workout

that is sweet and very satiating, without sugar, with or without

carbohydrates, depending on my needs at the time. Every day I have the

same breakfast in preparation for international competition: Waffles

and Pancakes Fitness. The star ingredients are egg whites and protein

powder. Other ingredients that I add as required are: oatmeal, rice

flour, cinnamon, splendao stevia, fruit, zero sugar honey, zero

nutella, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, spincah, chia, and so on.

Remember, in order to stick to your diet, you have to enjoy your food.”
