Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but do you know why? Food is fuel and provides your body with energy. Eating breakfast also helps you lose weight! Breakfast increases your metabolism, this means how fast you burn calories. If you don't eat breakfast, your body doesn't process your next meal as quickly and tries to hold onto those nutrients. Since your body didn't get any morning fuel, it will burn the afternoon meal much slower so that decreases your metabolism. Skipping breakfast makes your body crave to something sweet and you'll end up snacking on unhealthy foods. So breakfast really is the most important meal of the day!

I try to have proteins, vitamins and minerals for breakfast, such as eggs and fruit. Eggs keep you feeling full much longer and are a great source of protein. Fresh fruit salad provides a slow release of energy to get you through until lunchtime and also provides you with a lot of vitamins and minerals. I especially love fresh fruit salads during Spring & Summer when there's more exotic fruit available.
