Best Breakfast

Get into the habit of eating a morning meal. When it comes to your diet it is important that you try and eat a proper best breakfast both in terms of calories AND nutrition. Now, all that being said, many people do not want or find it difficult to eat in the morning. This can happen for many reasons such as not being hungry, having a lot of things to do first thing (walking the dog gets you out for 10 minutes), desired weight loss and limited time in the morning.

Plodding through the day, you may feel that you scarcely have time to grab a quick bite of breakfast. While it's true that your conscious mind may lament the lack of lunch or dinner, your brain cells do their best work when fueled by something more than coffee. Here is a list of healthy on-the-go breakfasts that will replenish and energize you―and get you out the door that much faster!

The big takeaway here is to simply make sure that you eat a healthy, nutritious breakfast. It may be tempting to sleep in and skip breakfast, but this can lead to excessive hunger and overeating at lunch. If you are going to go without breakfast, make sure to eat a healthy snack beforehand and drink some water first thing when you wake up. If at all possible, try adding breakfast back into your routine--I promise you'll notice a difference and will probably feel better as a result.
