Meat-Based

Having breakfast that incorporates meat is a great diet for college students. It allows students to take protein and other nutrients from the meat in the dishes. Typically with breakfast dishes the meat is not the main ingredient, it's more of a protein and nutritional supplement. Having a balanced diet that includes both meats and vegetables is what students should strive for. With a meat based breakfast, students are able to create quick and easy meals that should supplement their protein needs.
