It is true! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It literally is the ‘break’ from the over night ‘fast’. Multiple studies have shown that breakfast skippers have a higher body mass index (BMI) than non-skippers and breakfast consumption is associated with a lower body weight. Here are two of my favorite breakfast meals.
Egg McMuffin
- 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 1 whole grain lite english muffin
- tomato slices
Pour egg substitute in a bowl coated with non-stick cooking spray. Cook on high for 1 minute. Meanwhile, toast english muffin. Place cooked egg topped with tomato slices on english muffin. Voila! Only 135 calories and zero fat.
Old Fashioned Oatmeal
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup skim milk
Cook oatmeal and milk in a large mug on high for 1-1/2 minutes and stir. Voila! You may flavor with splenda and cinnamon. Only 240 calories and 3 grams fat.
