Is a Low Calorie Breakfast a Good Way to Lose Weight?

For many people, their low calorie breakfast is an easily skipped meal of the day. We are busy in the morning, and usually late. Who invented the snooze button, anyway?

Mornings being how they are, we can easily justify skipping breakfast as a good way to cut calories out of our day, but if you are hungry there are low calorie breakfast options that will keep your tummy happy all day long.

Say your stomach is growling and you leave home without breakfast.  Let’s look at what you are setting yourself up for.

[So you skipped breakfast. You're going about your day. The first couple of hours are okay, until the secretary of the office downstairs brings up left over donuts. Next thing you know you're in a Homer size Donut coma]

Keep reading to find out how to avoid the Donut coma..

How many of you would eat the donut? Everyone except the few with a willpower made of steel. There goes your low calorie breakfast!

How many calories are in that single chocolate laden donut you inhale at warp speed? Up to 300 calories and the thing about this is that many of you will repeat this process numerous times throughout the day to keep up your energy level.

Could this have been avoided?

Low Calorie Breakfast-An Alternative To Your Mid-Morning Snack Attack

We know that a good healthy breakfast can be a hard thing to achieve. It can be a challenge to find the best breakfast cereals. We’ve spoken of the time restriction many of us have in the morning but a good low calorie breakfast doesn’t have to take a lot of prep time.

Wouldn’t you like to be able to resist the temptations that pop up throughout the workday decrease your appetite?

Wouldn’t you like to have more energy to be productive throughout the workday?

Breakfast done right can provide this for you!

The donut choice doesn’t usually satisfy the normal persons appetite and all of those calories are coming from sugar, fat, or empty calories.

Now to get down to WHAT you eat for breakfast…

There are three requirements that I make my breakfasts adhere to:

1. Fiber- A breakfast high in fiber will keep you fuller, longer. It will also keep your digestive system healthy and give you more energy.

2. Vitamins- Fruit, vegetable omelets, oatmeal, whole grain cereals; these will all provide you with a good supply of vitamins and minerals.

3. Diversity- I like to include a little natural sugar, fat, protein, and light carbs. With this diverse meal set before me, my body will not be craving anything. I won’t be thinking about food until lunch, when I will once again be able to make sensible choices to eat.
