Preparing Quick Breakfasts
December 12, 2008
Breakfast has been awarded the most important meal of the day. However, not many people follow this golden rule. In fact, the easiest meal to skip is breakfast. You wake up late and then rush to your work. At times, you do not even realise that you missed your breakfast.
The fatal mistake that people commit here is that by missing breakfast, they miss the first meal of the day and go on to burn calories for the rest of the day. So the next time your body gets fuel, it tends to store it up for future. Guess what, the stored fuel is fat. So if you miss breakfast, you put on fat. If you can live with this truth then it is all fine. However, if you are on your feet, thinking about what you will prepare for breakfast tomorrow, then you will have some help here.

Some of these essentials include eggs, milk, peanut butter, honey, yoghurt, fresh fruit, crackers, cereals, toasted bread, eggplant, nuts, unsalted low-fat cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh mint, juice and coffee.
