1. Pastries. We all saw that coming!
2. Egg Dishes like and omelet with extra cheese and bacon or a fried egg cooked in lard.
3. Fatty meats like bacon, sausages, and ham. The website suggests healthy meat substitutes or chicken as a protein source.
4. DONUTS!! According to the article this is the WORST thing to eat for breakfast: Their nutritional value is little to non-existent.
5. Fruit juice? Yes fruit juice has a lot of added sugar which makes it similar to drinking a Pepsi or Coke for breakfast.
6. Yogurt made with whole milk can be high in sugar, fat and calories. Suggests non-fat or low-fat yogurt instead.
7. Cereal filled with sugar most likely has a poor nutritional value.
8. Bagels with piled with a thick layer of cream cheese. L
Some healthy foods we can try for breakfast include; whole-wheat toast, hard boiled eggs, fruit smoothies made with fresh fruit, low-fat yogurt with granola, plain instant oatmeal with cinnamon and raisins, cereal bars with at least 3 grams of fiber, whole-wheat berry pancakes with substitute Canadian bacon, egg white omelet with veggies and cheese, steel cut oats with fresh strawberries and milk, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, left over cold veggie pizza, crackers with cheese or peanut butter with fresh fruit.

As for the question should children have milk, water or juice for breakfast?An article from the University Of Michigan Health System, suggests that your child drink mostly water. Milk is good too but it can have a lot of saturated fat and juice has a lot of added sugar as we know: Water should be your main thirst-quencher. Sadly I still have not found any answers to the question does skipping breakfast make you age faster or make you look older…I’m not giving up yet on that one.

ReplyDeleteI was interested in posting to your blog because I find health topics fasinating. I ofted find myself looking things up on WebMD. I think one of the most crucial statements you made was about starting healthy eating habits early on in life. That can have such an impact on people's health in the long run.
ReplyDeleteAs far as breakfast. Like you I'm not good at it because I'm usually not hungry in the morning. But I have heard that eating (in particular protein) within an hour a waking is not only good for you physically, but mentally as well. Great post. Looking forward to reading more.
Thanks so much for answering the question that I asked about what your child should drink. My son drinks a lot of juice with his breakfast. So now I know that its like handing him a pop, which I do not want. Very intresting that a bagel isnt healthy for you. That is one of me and my sons favorite thing to eat when we are in a hurry in the morning. Your doing a great job at finding your answers and writing your post. I look forward to reading your end results.
