Tommy Fury eats huge breakfast and ‘watches Christmas film’ in day by day routine

Love Island star and professional boxer Tommy Fury has shared his morning routine, which involves eating a breakfast that’s packed with ‘good cholesterol’

Boxing professional Tommy Fury has shed light on his impressive morning routine – and it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted. The 25-year-old, who found fame in the Love Island villa, is typically up at 5am to start the first of his three daily workouts.

After a swift black coffee, he then holds off until 9am before tucking into a protein-heavy breakfast while enjoying films like ‘Home Alone 2: Lost in New York’. “Breakfast involves a lot of eggs – six, to be precise,” he told The Telegraph last week.

“It also involves 80 grams of oats, protein powder, frozen berries and honey. I need to let that sit for an hour and a half, so I’ll jump on the sofa – often for a Christmas film.” While it might sound unusual for most, Tommy’s go-to breakfast is stacked with potential health perks.

Eggs in particular are lauded for their ‘good cholesterol’ and high protein levels, which can help with both muscle building or weight loss. Helen Bell, a nutritionist at the UK Care Guide, previously told The Mirror: “In my experience, consuming eggs as a snack can actually be quite beneficial for weight loss. Eggs are high in protein, which helps to increase satiety and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

“This can reduce the overall calorie intake throughout the day. But, it’s important to watch portion sizes and prepare them in a healthy way, like boiling or poaching, to avoid adding unnecessary fats.”

Experts at Healthline also mirror this perspective, while adding that eggs contain all of the ‘essential amino acids’ that your body requires. “In addition, eating egg protein can help increase muscle mass long term, which supports a more efficient metabolism,” they write.

“This means that high protein foods, such as eggs, may help you burn more calories to support weight loss.” However, moderation is key when it comes to eggs if you’re looking to benefit from them.

For those with ‘risk factors for heart disease’, sticking to no more than four to five eggs per week is generally advised.

Victoria Taylor, Senior Dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, has previously stated: “Eating healthily is all about balance. If you’re eating too much of one thing it leaves less room in the diet for other foods that may have more health benefit.

“Eggs are a nutritious food, while this study focuses on the amount that we’re eating it’s still important to pay attention to how the eggs are cooked and to the trimmings that come with them. For example, poached eggs on wholegrain toast is a much healthier meal than a traditional fry up.”
