"I am too busy to eat breakfast"

"When I eat breakfast I usually get fatter".......sound familiar?

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day! Everyone has heard this before, but do you know why it is the most important?

To start with let's look at the name "breakfast" - the first meal of the day is breaking the fast your body has undergone for the last 7-8 hours. Would you drive a car without petrol? No. First thing in the morning your body is like an empty car. Blood sugar levels have become depleted during the night so it is essential you provide your body with a source of fuel to kick-start your day. If you miss breakfast, then low blood sugar can result in tiredness, grumpiness and a drop in concentration to name a few symptoms.

Many people who skip breakfast also get sugar cravings during the morning. The standard mid-morning sugary snack is usually full of low quality carbohydrates, sugars and fat which may satisfy the sugar craving but by no means should it be considered a healthy, beneficial meal. In addition, if you miss breakfast chances are you will be pretty hungry by mid-morning which can also result in overeating when you do finally eat something.

Suggestions for breakfast

A balanced breakfast should contain a mixture of protein, complex and simple carbohydrates, and fat. Fruit juice, porridge, wholegrain cereals, wholemeal bread or rolls, lean meats and smoothies are

all great breakfast options.

The FoodForFitness breakfast smoothie contains everything you need at breakfast: protein, carbs and fat. A smoothie is a great way to start your day as it is quick and easy to make, tastes great and for those who are short of time in the morning it is quick to consume.
