research from the national weight control registry studying people who've dropped lots of weight and have kept it off has shown that one of the greatest predictors of success in long-term weight management is having a healthy breakfast. . the template you're looking for is one that has a balance of healthy and high quality protein carb and fat. you want it to leave you with a sense of satisfaction and fullness to last 3-4 hours. some options: egg white omelette with veggies and low fat cheese with a side of blueberries (or mixed berries). oatmeal with flaxseed chopped walnuts cinnamon topped with blueberries (or mixed berries). protein shake made with a scoop of whey protein powder skim milk or nonfat yogurt frozen or fresh fruit and a dash of honey or agave. in a pinch when there's no time grab a whole wheat pitta and put several slices of low fat cheese inside and warm it in the microwave then grab an apple and run out the door. you can also add low fat peanut butter or put some chicken or turkey inside along with lettuce or any veggies you can find. yes it looks like lunch but it works any time of day.
