Did you know that people who don’t eat breakfast are less able to concentrate/learn, get less iron (an important nutrient) in their diets, and are more likely to have a higher body mass index (BMI), which is a sign they may be overweight.
On the other hand, people who eat breakfast do better at work, are more likely to participate in physical activities, and tend to eat healthier overall. So tomorrow morning, don’t run out the door on an empty stomach. Fuel up with a healthy breakfast!

What Should You Eat?
Any breakfast is better than no breakfast, but try not to have doughnuts or pastries all the time. They’re high in calories, sugar, and fat. They also don’t contain the nutrients everyone really needs. And if you have a doughnut for breakfast, you won’t feel full for long.

Just like with other meals, try to eat a variety of foods, including:
- Grains (breads and cereals)
- Protein (meats, beans, and nuts)
- Fruits and vegetables
- Milk, cheese, and yogurt

Easy Breakfast ideas
First, the traditional ones:
- Eggs
- French toast, waffles, or pancakes (try wheat or whole-grain varieties)
- Cold cereal and milk
- Hot cereal, such as oatmeal or cream of wheat (try some dried fruit or nuts on top)
- Whole-grain toast, bagel, or English muffin with cheese
- Yogurt with fruit or nuts
- Fruit smoothie, such as a strawberry smoothie

And now some weird (but yummy) ones:
- Banana dog (peanut butter, a banana, and raisins in a long whole-grain bun)
- Breakfast taco (shredded cheese on a tortilla, folded in half and microwaved; top with salsa)
- Country cottage cheese (apple butter mixed with cottage cheese)
- Fruit and cream cheese sandwich (use strawberries or other fresh fruit)
- Sandwich – grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, or another favorite
- Leftovers (they’re not just for dinner anymore!)

Quick recipes if you’re rushed for time
- Single servings of whole-grain, low-sugar cereal
- Yogurt
- Fresh fruit
- Whole-grain muffin
- Trail mix of nuts, dried fruits, pretzels, crackers, and dry cereal
