Since childhood, everyone has heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gives people the energy they need to start their busy mornings, whether working outside the home, or staying at home to raise a family.
Additionally, since childhood, we have learned that it is just as important to eat the right foods at the breakfast meal, than it is to ensure you eat breakfast. Whether you are a meat eater, a vegan, or a vegetarian, there are numerous options to choose from, to energize your body, mind, and your day.
Proteins
- Eggs
- Nuts
- Fish
You can prepare yolk-less eggs, fortified oatmeal, or a wheat bagel with light cream cheese and lox.
Healthy Fats
Using milk in scrambled eggs, cold cereal, or drinking a glass of skim milk gives people enough fat, and is filling enough so that they eat less during the day.
Complex Carbohydrates
Eating whole grain cereals topped off with fruit helps people maintain a healthy weight and lower cholesterol.
Hot and Cold Cereals
Toasted oat cereals with the desired fruit and small amount of skim milk, is a meal in itself. It gives people energy, and good for your cholesterol as well as your weight. The old saying, “it sticks to your ribs” is true in that it will sustain a body for a longer period, causing people to eat less at lunch.
Incredible Eggs
Whether poached or scrambled, eggs are the perfect choice for breakfast. Add to the protein-enriched breakfast by eating a slice of whole-wheat toast and margarine. Add a glass of fruit juice, to cover the three major food groups in one quick meal.
