Ward off Hunger
Breakfast satiates hunger more than any other meal, and that can have a huge impact on how you eat all day long. It comes down to naturally-occurring hormones in your gut that control hunger: these hormones are released in the morning, and without a decent meal to bring cortisol levels back down, they can continue to stimulate appetite throughout the day, regardless of what you choose to eat later on.
Those who skip breakfast tend to make up for it in the hours to come. As sugary snacks, unhealthy lunch choices and other indulgences add up, it’s easy to tack on way more calories than you saved by not eating breakfast.
If you’re ready to commit to breakfast but don’t like to eat a lot first thing in the morning, choose ingredients that pack a big punch in a little package. Eggs are one of the very best breakfast choices, with a host of minerals and nutrients, a load of top-notch protein, and plenty of flavor to satisfy your taste buds.
If you prefer sweet, opt for a handful of berries on low-fat yogurt or on a small bed of high-fiber cereal for the nutrients you need and plenty of sustained energy.
