Wednesday, December 5, 2007 Breakfast Alternatives that are Healthy For You

It is always been hard for people to fit breakfast into their already busy day, but it really is the most important meal of the day. It gives you the energy to get through it, and it gives you the calories and protein to stop you from eating other unhealthy foods as the day progresses.

The recommended amount of calories to consume for breakfast is 300 calories for women, and 500 for men. For fat grams, it should be kept under 5 for women, and under 10 for men. This is much easier than you think. No, you probably can't have a big bowl of sugary cereal but you can have other meals that are equally as delicious.

Here are 6 quick and healthy breakfast meals that can really give you a ton of energy, as well as the weight loss you desire:

  1. Banana and Peanut Butter Toast - Take 2 slices of whole wheat bread and spread on one tablespoon peanut butter. Top with a half of banana each and you have a very high in protein, low in fat breakfast.
  2. An Apple a Day - Eat one crisp and juicy apple, along with 1 oz of mozzarella or low-fat cheddar cheese, and 4 whole wheat crackers for a quick pick me up.
  3. The Laughing Cow - Eat one small pear, 1 oz of laughing cow cheese, and 1 cup mixed dry Chex cereal so that you can have the last laugh on weight loss.
  4. The English Apple - One small apple, and 1 whole wheat bagel along with 1 oz of mozzarella cheese will take you a long way during the day.
  5. Grape Sandwich - For the non-traditional breakfast eater try something different. Take one piece of lean meat, with 1 oz of low-fat cheese, and place it on low-cal whole wheat bread with a handful (about 1 cup) of grapes on the side.
  6. Orange Omelet - Blend 1 egg substitute with 1/4 cup cottage cheese and saute. Add one piece of whole wheat toast, and an orange and you have the ultimate in protein.
