Does it matter what you eat for breakfast? You bet. Choose a smart carbohydrate which is one that is high in fiber and include some lean protein to keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning. Besides cereal try almond butter or peanut butter on a whole grain English muffin or a whole grain bagel with a hard boiled egg. Breakfast choices can also be sandwiches, a small to-go bottle of milk and a resealable bag of easy-to-munch cereal or a cheese stick and banana as well as low-fat granola bars. How about left over meatballs and sauce or a slice of veggie pizza? Have more time on the weekends? Try whole grain blueberry pancakes with soy sausage or an egg burrito with scrambled eggs, fat free refried beans and salsa. It doesn’t matter what the items are as long as you keep the high fiber and lean protein duo in mind.
