Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It revs you up first thing in the morning, and also helps you to avoid overeating later in the day. What's more, eating breakfast is one of the key traits of people who are able to maintain a healthy weight. Here's a few tips to help you get the most out of your morning meal.
Three's a Charm: Aim to include 3 of the 5 food groups (grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat and beans) as part of your breakfast. Try the Peach Melba Breakfast "Shortcake" for this reason. The cottage cheese in it makes you feel full for longer. *recipe below
Fill up on Fiber: This nutrient can help you feel full. Try a fiber-rich breakfast bar and oatmeal cereal.
Choose Wisely: Try to make sensible choices at fast-food restaurants. If you are having a breakfast sandwich, choose the English Muffin instead of a biscuit. And skip the sausage.
