Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You’ve heard it about 1,000,000 already but what you have heard is true. Breakfast is awesome for keeping those crazy cravings at bay and helps you to shred those unwanted pounds. You can’t just eat 6 strips of bacon and 4 greasy eggs and call it a sunshine morning but make sure to keep it all in balance. Here are some ideas to keep your favorite meal sassy:
Eat Breakfast Every Single Day. Do it daily and it will ward off sugar cravings and you will boost your mood big time!
Eat Right Away. I know you may not be in the mood to eat or you think you are too busy to treat yourself right but you should try to eat within an hour of the alarm going off and even if you are not hungry.
Make it complex. Whole Grains are your BFF for this meal. Think Cheerios, Oatmeal, Fruits. Make sure you pick cereals that have at least 3 grams of fiber per serving and nothing more than 6 grams of sugar per serving. If your favorite cereal is low on fiber add some unprocessed wheat bran to pump up your fiber.
Pump things up with Protein. A third of your daily protein should be from Breakfast. Protein slows digestion and helps you feel fuller for longer.
Your health depends on eating a well balanced breakfast. You can’t just eat whatever you want and hope for the best. Skipping breakfast can make your organs older. Not sassy!
Here is an example of an ideal breakfast:
Oatmeal or cold cereal with milk |
1 piece of Fresh fruit |
Low-fat yogurt |
1 slice of Whole-grain toast with peanut butter |
Coffee or tea, without cream |
1 cup of 100% Juice |
