Question of the Week -- What should I eat for breakfast?

Breakfast...the most important, yet least appreciated meal of the day.

It makes sense....who has time to prepare breakfast anyway? If you're anything like me, you don't want to wake up any earlier than you absolutely have to! Unfortunately, the foods people typically eat for breakfast; donuts, muffins, juice, danishes, bagels and cream cheese, and many of those breakfast cereals may be quick and easy, but they will cause your body to store fat like crazy!

Since many of you seemed to like my post on my "top 3 snack bars" I figured I'd give you my "top 3 breakfasts", so here they are:

1) A vegetable omelete.
I like to follow my typical "1 protein and 2 vegetable" plan if it's at all possible, even for breakfast. An omlete loaded with any combination of broccoli, tomatoes, spinach asparagus, peppers, onions, etc., does just that. If you've got the time, cook yourself up an omlete!

2) Plain yogurt with fruit and flax seeds.
I know what you're thinking...."Plain yogurt..Gross!" Trust me, it's not. Not if you mix it with fruit. Throw any combination or rasberries, oranges, bananas, pinapples, strawberries, blackberries, peaches, etc. and you won't even notice that the yogurt is unsweetend. And next time you eat sweetend yogurt....with all it's extra sugar...spiking your bloods sugar levels, causing you to experience that mid-morining crash, while storing all those extra calories as fat, you'll think "What's the point of all this sugar." Not only that, the flax seeds will give your yogurt a nutty taste, while adding a lot of quality fiber and omega-3s!

3) A high fiber, high protien, low sugar cereal with skim milk or soy milk.
Not all cereal is bad, but many are. One breakfast cereal that is outstanding is Kashi's "Go Lean" High Protien and High Fiber Cereal. If you're short on time, like me, this might be your best bet!
