Importance of having breakfast

Not hungry in the morning?

If, like many people, you are not hungry when you wake up in the morning or if, even if you try, you never have enough time for breakfast, remember to bring nutritious foods and eat on the bus, in the car or at work. 

Grain products: a bagel (with cream cheese or peanut butter), a toast with cheese or peanut butter, a homemade muffin, nutritious and easy to eat cereals; 

Fruits: pure fruit juice, fresh or dried fruits, applesauce, fruit salad; 

Milk and alternatives: yogurt, cheese, milk or drinkable yogurt;

Meat and alternatives: nuts, alone or in yogurt, boiled eggs, a tortilla filled with eggs and cheese, mixed nuts. 

Breakfast and weight

If you think skipping breakfast can help you loose weight, think again! Taking a complete breakfast quiets hunger, helps you avoid snacking and helps you wait until dinnertime. Furthermore, if you are not as hungry for dinner, you will need a lighter meal⁴.
