A Jordanian breakfast that keeps you full till noon

A breakfast of sweet pastry or plain white bread spikes your energy and drops it just as fast, leaving you raiding the kitchen by mid-morning. The traditional Jordanian plate is quietly better engineered for staying full. Foul gives you plant protein and fibre; hummus adds more of both plus the good fats of olive oil and tahini; a boiled egg rounds out the protein. Together they digest slowly and hold your blood sugar steady for hours. Scoop with a little wholemeal bread rather than a lot of white, and pile on tomato, cucumber and a few olives. It's not a diet plate — it's the everyday breakfast this region already knows, eaten in the right proportions. Fast, cheap, filling, and genuinely good for you.
