Breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day’s work. Among English speakers, “breakfast” can be used to refer to this meal or to refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (such as eggs, porridge and sausage) served at any time of day.
Skipping breakfast can set you up for overeating later in the day. A healthy a.m. meal, on the other hand, can give you energy, satisfy your appetite, and set the stage for smart decisions all day long.
THESE ARE SEVERAL RECIPES FOR BREAKFAST THAT CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT:
Roasted Veggies With Easy Fried Egg
Adding a serving of vegetables first thing in the morning can help you reach the recommended 2 ½ cups per day as well as jumpstart your day with a boost of nutrients. Get the recipe here.
Yogurt-Filled Cantaloupe
A base of plain, low-fat yogurt enhanced with your own healthy toppings makes for a good breakfast or snack. With the right additions, yogurt can supply a mix of fat, protein and fiber that is both filling and nutritious.Get the recipe here.
Flat-Belly Overnight Oats
Oats make an easy, balanced breakfast. One cup of cooked oatmeal contains about 150 calories, four grams of fiber (about half soluble and half insoluble), and six grams of protein. To boost protein further, my favorite way to eat oatmeal is with a swirl of almond butter nestled within. Get the recipe here.
Almond Strawberry Banana Yogurt Smoothie
Smoothies (or “shakes,” if you prefer the manly name for your blended-fruit concoctions) have a nearly-undisputed place at the top of the “healthy breakfast” pantheon – but then again, so do granola and oatmeal! Once you get past the idea that fat is bad and anything vegan is healthy, smoothies start to look a lot less obviously perfect.Get the recipe here.
