We’ve all done it – just sucked down a cup of coffee in the morning before dashing off to work. But, you know, as they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It refuels your body after a long night of no food while you sleep, and helps to keep your waistline in check by sustaining you before your much-anticipated lunch break. That is, only if you eat the right foods of course. Skip the bagel and try these options out instead!
- Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is known to be packed with a considerable amount of protein (14-18g of protein in a 6oz cup!), which means it’ll fend off hunger for a longer period of time. Greek yogurt also has a great source of calcium, potassium, and vitamins.
- Oatmeal
Fiber, fiber, fiber! Half a cup of oatmeal carries 3-4 grams of fiber, delaying hunger pains. In addition, oatmeal carries 4-7g of protein as well! Drop in some fresh fruit for some healthy, natural sugars to sweeten things up!
- Eggs
Eggs are loaded with nutrients and are filled with over 6g of protein, making it a healthy food choice for breakfast. Studies have shown that when compared to women who ate bagels with the same amount of calories, those who ate eggs for breakfast lost more weight (presumably because of all the protein).
