Eggs are a great breakfast food. Forget what you have heard about eggs being bad for your cholesterol or that the yolk bad for you as it is full of fat – this is complete nonsense! Eggs are a great source of protein, essential fats, B vitamins, vitamin D and vitamin A. Eat them anyway you like except fried. Have scrambled, poached or boiled eggs on wholegrain toast or try an omelette with spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes. Just don’t eat eggs every day; 2-3 times a week is fine.
Plain whole Greek style yoghurt (such as Yeo Valley or Rachel’s Organic) with mixed berries or sliced apple and ground seeds or toasted nuts is another great breakfast. Again this will provide you with some protein, fats and carbohydrates, the added berries and fruit provide fibre and antioxidants and the nuts or seeds provide more vitamins and minerals. Do not eat low fat or fruit yoghurts, these products are generally full of sugar!!!.
I also think there is nothing wrong with having a healthy “grill up” once a week, find some good quality organic sausages and some bacon and eat it with poached eggs, steamed mushrooms and grilled tomatoes – yum!
Tomorrow I’m going to share with you what I eat for breakfast every day….
