What Should Be The Healthy Breakfast?

Breakfast should have high fiber diet but it should not be limited to that. You may opt for whole grain breads for toasts and Trans fat free margarines. An egg may also be included in your breakfast twice or thrice a week, make sure to prepare it in low fat oil such as olive oil. Eggs contain protein which helps you keep full until lunch time. In a research conducted at Pennington Bio-medical research Center, researchers compared weight loss in women who ate either two eggs or a bagel for breakfast having equal calories and volume. It was observed that overweight women who ate two eggs for breakfast five times a week for eight weeks as compared to bagel eaters lost 65% more weight, reduced waistline by 83%, had no significant difference in their blood cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels and reported high energy levels.
But is the cholesterol in eggs good or bad? The research further shows that none of the women had increases in blood lipids which confirm that healthy adults with low fat diets can have eggs without having the risk of heart diseases. Studies have also suggested that people who add lean protein in their breakfast feel less hungry than people who ate breakfast without protein.

Cereals For Breakfast:

Including cereals in your breakfast helps you to maintain a healthy body weight. A study at Harvard points out those men who ate cereals in breakfast weighed less than the men who ate breakfast without cereals.
