The metabolism becomes stronger when it has energy, which it gets from calories found in the food we consume.

By eating breakfast, your metabolism fires up so you can start burning through the calories and get energized beyond belief.
Breakfast Energizes You
As mentioned, by eating breakfast, your metabolism gets a real boost, which in turn means that you have more energy.

High Fat Special
For those of you following keto, or who are perhaps rotating your carbohydrate intakes, breakfast may very well be a high fat meal. By taking away carbs, the fats are not stored as fat at all, they actually fuel the body because fats are the body’s preferred source of energy.
