Let’s celebrate National Hot Breakfast Month with some great breakfast foods like pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, hash brown, oatmeal, cream of wheat and farina.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it helps you to kick start your day with fuel. Breakfast means to break from not receiving nourishment while you were sleeping the night before.
So when you wake up and you have that first meal of the day in the morning, you have broken fast. When you eat breakfast it helps increase your metabolic rate, gives you the energy you need to start your day because food is fuel for the body.
If you are trying to lose weight the worst thing to do is skip this meal, because your body will think you are starving it; so when you do eat your next meal of the day, it will hold on to those nutrients since there was no breakfast.
However with that said gaining weight is common when breakfast is not eaten, because you tend to eat more on your next meal because you feel hungry.
If you have been skipping out on the most important meal of the day, skip no more re-introduce yourself to breakfast with National Hot Breakfast Month. This month you can start by adding eggs with bacon and toast or a healthy alternative of egg whites, turkey bacon and whole grain toast to your meal.
Omelets are great hot breakfast because it can be done with eggs or egg whites. The great thing about an omelet is that you can put whatever you like in it; such as bacon, ham, and crumbled sausages, vegetables such as potatoes, mushrooms, onions, spinach and bell peppers.
