Why the focus on breakfast? It is the most important meal of the day (motherly tone provided for emphasis). When you wake up you have been without food for at least 7 or 8 hours if you’ve been getting enough sleep. Add in taking time to shower and get dressed in the morning, even longer. Add in the time between eating that discarded bag of potato chips and your real lunch time and you, my fine starving friend, have not eaten in an eternity.

When you are at home for breakfast, you need to have some stuff on hand that you are able to eat quickly, the grab and go type of stuff. Go to a regular supermarket. Find the cereal aisle. Buy cereal bars. They come in all types so browse and buy lots of them. Find the frozen food aisle. Locate where they have the frozen breakfast stuff. Buy frozen waffles, frozen pancakes and sausage, and frozen breakfast sandwiches. These are all microwave heat and eat type of breakfast entrees. They will get you through many mornings of saving time before your day officially begins. Check out the bakery aisle with all the ‘fresh baked so you don’t have to’ muffins and stuff. Hint: these may also serve as later in the day snacks.

Once breakfast is over, and you are off to work, eat a power energy bar or yogurt shake to tide you over to lunch if needed. At lunch have your usual.

At dinner time hit another fast food restaurant or rely on your breakfast items for your main evening meal. Throw in a salad now and then when you order that pizza or wings. You need to work out too. You will feel better and live longer This is a truism that is really true. I hope these healthy breakfast ideas help you in your quest to live a healthier lifestyle. Good luck!
