Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

What Is a Balanced Breakfast?

A balanced breakfast should focus on protein and fiber.

First off, protein adds staying power to a meal, which helps keep energy levels steady. Then fiber aids with diet regularity and fullness.

By being creative in coming up with different protein and fiber combinations, you can come up with some easy breakfast recipes that are satisfying, nutritious and perfect for those busy mornings. Of course, I’ve included some of my favourite ones below to get you started.

There are a plethora of benefits to starting the day with a balanced meal, and it isn’t that hard. In this article, I’ll discuss some of the major benefits of eating a healthy breakfast before moving onto some of my favourite easy breakfast recipes.

Starting your day with breakfast can help with weight management

Perhaps the most appealing benefit of breakfast is that it jumpstarts your metabolism and may help you burn more calories throughout the day. It was found that those who skip breakfast have a tendency to consume more fat throughout the day and have lower calcium, fiber, fruit and vegetable intake. Additionally, studies have found that people who skip breakfast tend to have a higher body mass index (BMI).

Starting your day with breakfast can help with memory and attention

In the morning, our blood sugar is low, and we need to replenish it to help power our brain and muscles. Breakfast is especially important for metabolic needs. Research suggests that people who eat breakfast are better learners and have better concentration, more problem-solving skills and better hand-eye coordination.

You should never miss breakfast or you will end up eating more later.
