What are you’re thought’s on a nice mac and cheese for breakfast? I have that on Saturdays as a comfort breakfast.

Although delicious, it is a heavy meal which could still some of your energy and make you feel sluggish or sleepy for a few good hours. It is more appropiate to eat at lunchtime.

It always depends on your goal. What are you looking to accomplish and by what date/time? What kind of lifestyle do you have?: “All and everything you can eat”, Vegetarian, Vegan? These are important questions to ask yourself before you move to the step of creating your diet/Lifestyle that is most definitely going to include comfort foods, cheat days, etc.. Yes, it should very much be a “Lifestyle” and not a diet. Diets come and go. Lifestyles are, well.., part of your life. I hope this helps. Much Love & Success!

If this serves as a reward for a week of more wholesome breakfasts, then this mac-and-chesse morning might, in the short term, help solidify the good breakfast habits. Add some protein, though!

I would say it’s not ideal as it’s heavy with fast carbs and fats and is low in protein. For me, it’ll probably make me sleepy and drowsy and I’ll become hungry quite soon. I’d rather go for some eggs with veggies and avocado and finish off with fruits to get a healthy balance of macronutrients.

I love that!!! Haha, I always have breakfast food for dinner so why not dinner food for breakfast! I think as long as you feel you have enough protein then go for it. I love cooking kale into my mac and cheese to pump up the vitamins.

It sounds good for a once a week breakfast! I would say trying to eat something with more fruits or veggies but as long as it’s a one day thing. I think there’s no harm in some delicious comfort food for breakfast

It’s nice to have comforting food every now and then. I myself wouldn’t suggest having it for breakfast though as it’s a heavy type of food unless you’re adding in some healthier ingredients to the Mac and cheese or burning it off with a decent amount of exercise in the morning.

Delicious! although possibly debilitating. If I eat something that heavy first thing in the morning I’m likely going to be feeling ready for a nap by noon! (Not a problem if I’m netflix binging all day.) I prefer to get up and out on Saturday’s especially when it’s nice outside!

I’m not a big fan of breakfast food so I often est all sorts of things for my first meal. plus if it’s a c omfort meal then I say go for it! I believe that It’s more important to have habits that not only keep us healthy, but happy too.

I believe that from time to time it is good to treat yourself. Treating yourself on some Mac n cheese for breakfast can be good for your mood. I would advice reducing it to once every two weeks if you are trying to eat healthier. As long as you eat a healthy breakfast daily you should be ok. Though you could add some nutrition to your Saturday breakfast by eating a fruit after Mac n’cheese
