What makes a healthy breakfast?

There is a big reason why breakfast is called the ‘most important meal of the day’.
Having a proper breakfast not only helps kick-start your day and help you feel energized.  It could also help with weight loss!
When you have breakfast, it keeps you full and satisfied so you’ll avoid binge eating on unhealthy food like potato chips and crackers. It will also help you to increase metabolism so that you can burn calorie at a higher rate.
Of course, there are plenty of breakfast options available and even fast food chains are now serving ‘big breakfasts’. It is imperative that you know what constitutes as a healthy breakfast because it will play a major role in determining the success of your post pregnancy weight loss plan.
So, if it’s true that breakfast is the most important meal of the day then you should start your day off with only the healthiest nutrients you can get.
Whole grains
Instead of consuming regular white bread why not try something a little different? 100% whole wheat bread, bran muffins, whole grain crackers, oats, quinoa and muesli are just a few of the healthier options available today. However, you should still opt for natural muesli with low-fat and low-sugar content without dried fruit or honey. Whole grains are amazing because it helps to promote better blood pressure levels, better weight management, and reduce heart disease and risk of stroke.
Lean protein
Optimize your daily protein intake by adding nuts, oatmeal, lean meat, salmon or egg whites into your morning meal. Consuming less carbs and increasing protein intake will help with fat loss and lean muscle growth. And the better the quality of the protein, the more likely it will help with your lose baby weight goals. Of course, protein is also good for your overall health because it encourages tissue and muscle regeneration.
Fibre
It is so important to have steady consumption of fibre because it helps with fat loss, and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and cancer. Add in some legumes, beans, almonds or even wholemeal bread into your breakfast and you’ll see your health improve in the long run.
Fruits & vegetables
Mum was right when she told you to eat your vegetables. It absolutely does wonders for weight management and overall well-being. The next time you’re at the supermarket, try picking certain fruits and veges with higher nutrient content such as blueberries, avocados, acai berries, broccoli, goji berries and kale. Not only are they low in calories and fat, they’re also high in fibre which is undoubtedly good for post pregnancy weight loss.
