The Importance of A GOOD Breakfast

I wanted to talk a little about the importance of breakfast. So many of my friends and family say," I can't eat breakfast, I'm not hungry that early", "I don't have time", blah, blah. Adding breakfast to your eating pattern is a major step to improving your lifestyle. Food is fuel. If you want to make the most of your day, fuel your body early with the RIGHT STUFF. Starting your day with a good breakfast boosts your energy, increases your attention span, and heightens your sense of well-being. A good breakfast is one that provides at least one third of the day’s calories. I usually have 1 egg+2-3 whites, a lean meat like canadian bacon or extra lean turkey, a small serving of fruit like berries or an orange, and sometimes if I am feeling crazy I'll throw in a 100 calorie english muffin with some almond butter. Try to stay away from high sugar, empty calorie foods like donuts, muffins, etc. Instead maybe try a low sugar, high fiber cereal with skim milk if you are in a hurry?
Making time for breakfast is making time to be healthy. “Not hungry?” To get started, don’t eat anything after an early supper. Finish supper by 6:30 p.m. “Might gain weight?” Eating breakfast will actually help you reach and maintain your healthy weight. Your appetite will be satisfied longer. You’ll be eating food when you can best burn the calories. You’ll feel great. Eat breakfast.
