Protein is the most important macronutrient to include in your diet, and it also seems to be the one that most people have trouble remembering to eat. Protein helps build muscle, repair, and grow new tissue, and a high-protein breakfast will set the tone for the day and help to keep you full. It also helps with blood sugar control as the body takes longer to digest and absorb it, which means it enters your bloodstream at a slower rate, providing you with steady energy all day.
