It’s no new news that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, it is possible that you might come across the barrier of not knowing the right foods to eat for breakfast.
When you choosing a breakfast, you want to aim for a breakfast that combines good carbs and fiber with some protein. Luckily, your options are plenty.
Here’s a look at some of our favorite breakfast foods, along with expert tips for making them even healthier.
1. Oatmeal
Oats contain beta-glucan, a type of fiber that’s been shown to help lower cholesterol when eaten regularly. Need another reason to dig in? Oats are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and potassium.
Steel-cut oats, which take about 15 minutes to cook, contain more fiber than rolled oats or instant varieties, but any type of oatmeal is a healthy choice. Just avoid the flavored kinds, which can be packed with sugar. Instead, sweeten your bowl with milk and a bit of honey, and top with fruit and nuts.
2. Greek yogurt
This food is loaded with calcium and also enough protein (nearly twice as much as regular yogurt) that can keep you satiated for a very long period of time.
To add some flavor to your yogurt, add some fruits and be sure to enjoy a not only healthy breakfast but also a delicious one at that.
3. Grapefruit
This fruit is one of the best foods in regards to weight loss. According to one study, eating half a grapefruit before each meal may help you slim down faster, thanks to the fruit’s fat-burning properties and its beneficial effect on blood sugar and insulin levels. Grapefruit also has the ability to fill you up for a long period of time and is packed with immunity-boosting antioxidants.
4. Bananas
There’s nothing like a banana at breakfast to keep those mid-morning cravings at bay. The yellow fruit—especially when they’re still a touch green—are one of the best sources of resistant starch, a healthy carbohydrate that keeps you feeling fuller longer.
Thanks to a healthy dose of potassium, an electrolyte that helps lower blood pressure naturally, bananas are a particularly good choice for people with hypertension.
5. Eggs
These incredible edibles have made quite a comeback in recent years. Once shunned for being high in dietary cholesterol (one yolk contains about 60% of your daily allotment), eggs are now embraced as a healthy source of protein and nutrients like vitamin D. Why the turnabout? Research has shown that cholesterol in our food has less of an impact on blood cholesterol than previously thought.
If overall, you’re choosing lean proteins and not eating a ton of fat and cholesterol, then eggs are a great thing to have in your diet.
Conclusion
The first thing you should fix if you’re on a journey to weight loss should be your diet. Eating the right foods for breakfast is a great step towards making sure your diet is in check and with time you’d see yourself getting into that shape that you’ve always desired.
