The best breakfast should have lotsa protein. This eill help you keep alert and hyped all day. I usually take two eggs and braised pre-boiled beans.
As for quantity, I use Lifesum app to track my food and try to eat unprocessed nutrients. From a banana and a table spoon of peanut butter if needing to be fast or 2 fried eggs in butter with a sprinkle of shredded cheese if I want to cook. Both meals are convient and afford me just enough food along with a coffee when I get to work not to stuff me up too much, being alert and ready for the day.
It’s important for me to eat a large breakfast. Digestion pulls blood into the core making me tired and cold, which is a terrible sensation at lunch time. If I want to survive on small lunches then a breakfast of 3 eggs and some nuts to snack on in necessary.
Pack some serious protein into your breakfast, Avoid carbs, you’ll be starving by mid morning n most likely end up eating stuff you’ll regret. Don’t shy from meat, even leftovers from last night.
Everyone is different and there is no one size fits all when it comes to diet. That being said, aim for long burning carbs, protein, and a little bit of healthy fats. This will make you feel satiated and help you power through to lunch. My personal favorite is steel cut oatmeal with a tbspn of ground flaxseed, one cup of frozen dark cherries and blueberries mixed together, a spoonful of coconut oil, and cinnamon sprinkled on top. The best part about this is that you can prep a big batch for the whole week so all you have to do is get up and microwave it. You could also try cooked greens with ground turkey, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and a bit of olive oil drizzled on top. In a big hurry? Go for good old fashioned scrambled eggs and grab a banana with some peanut butter as you’re running out the door. Hope this helps! Good luck! 😃
I think it depends on your goal as well as what else you plan to eat that day. Basically something with healthy fats, protein which you can choose weather or not to add carbs too. With the carbs, again it depends on your goal. If you are trying to lose weight, you might want to reduce carb intake, having carbs at only 1-2 meals a day instead of 3. (Carbs means starchy carbs like potato, rice, bread or pasta). A good one for weight loss might be an omelette with tomato and spinach using 2 eggs. You can also remove the egg yolk where most of the calories are depending on your weight loss goals. If you are just looking for a healthy breakfast to give you energy, the above is great but some of my favorite breakfasts are also small slices of wholegrain toast topped with avocado, mini tomato and a dash of balsamic vinegar. Another great topping is a thin spread of sugar free peanut butter topped with banana slices. If you have a blender, smoothies are also a good choice in warmer months. Try frozen banana slices with a dash of plain yogurt, a splash of almond milk or water, a bunch of washed spinach and a spoonful of peanut butter. Use a couple of small ripe frozen bananas for a milkshake like texture. In winter I also occasionally love a bowl of hot oatmeal with cinnamon, or overnight oats in summer, but if you are trying to loose weight keep the portions a bit smaller.
As a nurse, I’m always busy working! A complete breakfast is healthy but not difficult! I usually have two hard boiled eggs, 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1/2 of fruit. Quick and easy, prep the day before. Or measure granola cereal (sugar and salt must not be one of first four ingredients) into a container and then just add milk! And grab a piece of fruit!
A suitable breakfast is something that has protein and will give you energy for the day. Not something with sugar in it! A good quantity is enough so that it makes you full and you don’t get hungry until lunch time.
Usually foods that are high in protein and filling such as Greek yogurt, egg whites, and protein shakes. Food that are also high in fiber as well such as oatmeal, whole wheat toast, and fruit.
Granola, fruit (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, banana,...), additional grains (pumpkin seeds, Chia grains,...) and Alpro Soya yoghurt. OR Bread with cheese, dried ham,... and Soya drink. OR Buckweet pancakes
