Start Your Day With A Healthy Breakfast

You know it is really right, the refrain that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
For most of us, it has been on average about 12 hours since our last meal and our bodies
need a good refueling. Yet, statistics show that as many at as half of us do not eat breakfast. 

We normally apply some of the following excuses for skipping breakfast, which is actually
the most important meal of the day. We explain that we are too busy; or groan that we do not
like breakfast foods, easily wave it off because you do not feel hungry or vow that you are trying
to lose weight.

Sad to say this folks but none of those reasons are valid. There are many healthy breakfasts
that can either be bought or made that are fast and even portable. There is no law that says
you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast�  (duh!).

You rightfully might not feel hungry in the morning, particularly if you are not accustomed to
eating breakfast. But you should eat something, even if you make a fairly light choice, like
fruit and yogurt. Trying to lose weight is the worst excuse of all. Study after study shows
that people who skip breakfast end up eating more the rest of the day than people who
eat a solid breakfast every morning. 

So here is how do you get that magical mix of the right nutrients which will give you energy
and send you vigorously into your day? It�s not that hard, really. Spend a little bit of time thinking
about what you like and then plan some healthy breakfasts. Here are some feasible food ideas
to get you started:

* If you need something portable, consider the popular smoothie as a good choice. However,
be careful when you purchase a smoothie at a shop, as some can have as many as 600 calories.
You can purchase a good blender or smoothie maker to have at home and whip up your own
smoothie in less time than it takes to stop at a smoothie store. I use a blender for making
smoothies at home and simply loving it; plus you will know exactly what is in it.

* For an even faster breakfast, try making some breakfast burritos and keeping them in the freezer.
You can use regular or whole-wheat tortillas, scrambled eggs (either whole, all whites, a mix, or an
egg product), some veggies like peppers and onions, and soy sausage. These freeze beautifully.
Pull one out, and while you are pouring your coffee, it can be heating in the microwave. Add a banana
or apple for on-the-go dining.

* Cereal is a fine breakfast, as long as it is not the only thing you eat. Consider adding some banana or
blueberries on top, or fixing it with soy milk for a healthy dairy addition. Otherwise, stick to skim milk.

* If you do not like breakfast, consider making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread. Grab a
banana on the way out the door. Have some leftover vegetarian pizza from dinner? That�s a fine breakfast,
though you will want to add a glass of milk or some fruit to round it out. At least take a bite of those wholesome
foods that you do like. 

* Trying to lose weight? Breakfast might be the easiest meal to fill up without using a lot of calories or fat.
Have oatmeal with soy milk, or a high-fiber cold cereal. Consider a homemade version of a fast-food sandwich.
You can fry up an egg, add a slice of Canadian bacon and put the two into a toasted English muffin for a 200-calorie,
which is a filling breakfast for the tummy and it taste yummy too.
