| A HEALTHY CHOICE WHEN EATING OUT |
BREAKFAST
The first rule of good physical self-care is to always eat
BREAKFAST. BREAKFAST starts our
metabolism for the day and signals the body that it is time to get on with the
process or living well. BREAKFAST is
considered by most health experts to be the most important meal of the
day. However, not all BREAKFAST meals
are the same, so this is not a license to eat whatever you want. However, it is
a license to eat something. Good
BREAKFAST choices are always less than 500 calories and often you can have a
good breakfast less than 300 calories.
Portion control is important in all of our meals. BREAKFAST needs to be balanced with protein
choices. Thus an egg omelet with fresh
veggies, yogurt with nuts and berries, apple with peanut butter, whole grain
carbs with any of the above can complete the meal for you. Some of you enjoy variety, so be sure to
think ahead and have several healthy choices on hand and pre-plan it the night
before so that you get in the habit of making sure you eat before you leave the
house or have a breakfast to go ready and waiting for you in the fridge. Some professionals recommend that you eat
protein with your BREAKFAST meal and that you eat within thirty minutes of
being up. If you are not a BREAKFAST
eater, then make this meal a priority and keep it simple in order to get into
the habit. The simpler it is for you the
more successful you will be.
