Summary: There is no debate to whether breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What you eat first thing in the morning sets the tone to what – and how much – you eat for the rest of the day.
There is no debate to whether breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What you eat first thing in the morning sets the tone to what – and how much – you eat for the rest of the day.
Various studies have proven that people who have breakfast usually eat healthier, consume fewer calories during the rest of the day and generally have a lower body mass index (BMI).
Healthy breakfast choices can help you control your blood sugar levels for the day and reduce your cravings.
It may be a while before you figure out exactly what the best breakfast for you is. You might have to try several different things over a period of time, but eventually you will get there.
Whole grains
Whole grain bread, bars, and cereals are an excellent choice to start your day off right. That’s because they make you feel full for a longer period of time in comparison with other types of bread and cereals. You might consider, then, a turkey or cheese sandwich made with whole grain bread, or a bowl of milk and whole grain cereal.
Eggs
Eggs will not only help you lose weight faster, but they will also keep your energy at high levels throughout the day.
What to avoid
Avoid starting your day with foods that contain lots of sugar such as cereal and donuts. These may trigger cravings throughout the rest of the day and thwart your efforts at eating healthy.
