Bodies need fuel. Breakfast is fuel. I have to confess, sometimes I skip breakfast. The morning gets busy and once I start working, I forget to fuel up. Inevitably, I crash and realize I haven’t had anything to eat. And coffee doesn’t count. I wish it did, but it just doesn’t count as a whole [...]
