While it may make sense to eat less food if you want to consume fewer calories, breakfast is a very important part of weight loss. That morning mean kickstarts your metabolism and allows you to lose pounds in a healthier way. The earlier your breakfast is the better, ideally eating 30 or 60 minutes after waking up, giving you more time to burn carbs and use those nutrients to your advantage. A smart breakfast will allow you to be productive during the day and to have energy so you can exercise accordingly.
Popsugar reports that the ideal healthy breakfast should have between 300 and 400 calories, containing healthy carbs like grains, veggies and fruits, and about 20 grams of proteins, which promote weight loss. Fiber, fats, and sugars are also recommended; these can be found in veggies, grains and different kinds of fruits. Some good ingredients that provide healthy breakfast nutrients are olive oil, almond butter, peanut butter and avocados.Â
