An important rule of thumb: don't skip breakfast. I am sure
everyone has heard this by now but how many people do you know still do this? People assume by skipping meals you’ll eat less. Wrong this just means
you’ll snack more and then eat larger portions at the meals you do eat. Do me a favor and don’t assume because when you do…you make an ass of you and me!
These are simple but effective breakfast options to help start the day off right:
Egg whites
You want egg white rather than whole eggs because they are low in fat and high in protein. They contain 0 saturated fat and 0 cholesterol. The yolk itself has 4.5 g of fat 1.6 of which is saturated fat, and 210 mg of cholesterol.
Whole wheat toast
Like eggs whole wheat bread is also low in fat and cholesterol. Contain more nutrients than white bread such as Vitamin E, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, B Vitamins and fiber. Wheat is good but the best alternative to white bread is whole wheat bread.
Oatmeal (not the instant ones they are enhanced with sugar)
Its loaded with Fiber, protein, and nutrients including Vitamin E, Zinc, Copper, Iron, Selenium, and magnesium. You can have it with water or milk, which will add calcium to the mix.
Fruit
Fruit contain natural sugar so if you’re going to have them the ideal time is in the morning. You can have berries, melon and lemon, kiwi and plums. Steer clear of bananas, pineapple, grapes, and dried fruit.
Cream of wheat
It’s low in calories, and high in calcium and other nutrients. You can find Copper, Magnesium, Folate, Thiamine, Niacin, Vitamin A, B6, Iron, Selenium, etc in a single serving.
I like starting the day with these foods because they are a simple and effective way of eating and will allow the body to respond in a positive way. You are giving it everything it needs from the moment you wake up, to feel good all day.
What are some of your favorite breakfast foods and why? I’m also interested in knowing how often you eat breakfast per week. Let me know and stay cool!
