Toast & Spreads

Toast is almost as integral to the breakfast experience as the glass of milk and, with the wrong toppings, completely damaging to your attempts at a healthy diet and a healthy body. When you take a slice of white toast and top it with smears of jelly or jam you are essentially giving up on your meal. Toast with sugar laden toppings are just carb bombs that give you literally nothing else.

Eat this instead: whole wheat toast topped with an egg or some avocado.

Coffee

Coffee in and of itself is fine if you drink it in moderation and in addition to a healthy and well balanced breakfast. However, too many people are opting instead to have coffee as their only source of nutrition in the morning. Not only is the caffeine in coffee going to give you an energy boost, followed by the jitters, but you will also be assaulted with sugar and a load of other unhealthy additives. You are essentially drinking the majority of your days calories without getting any of the nutritional benefits, which isn’t exactly ideal.

Try this instead: make coffee a small part of your balanced morning and rely on a well rounded meal to give you the energy you need. You can even opt for breakfast shakes as a meal replacement if you don’t want to sit down and make a large meal.
