Question: What are the best foods to eat in the morning for weight loss?
Answer: Foods high in protein. Research has shown that high protein breakfasts such as eggs, will leave you feeling full longer as opposed to the high carb, sugary cereals and breakfast bars. People who eat a high protein breakfast are less likely to consume fewer high fat and high sugar snacks throughout the day as well. A breakfast with more protein helps control insulin and glucose levels which can help keep cravings from making you want to visit the vending machine or grab other sugary, high carb snacks later in the day.
Some good high protein breakfast ideas include:
eggs
hard boiled eggs
egg and veggie wraps
turkey breast
low fat cottage cheese
Greek yogurt
chicken breast
protein shake/meal replacement shake
protein bar/meal replacement bar
Generally consuming a meal with around 30 grams of protein is ideal for raising the metabolism, maintaining a "full feeling" throughout the morning, and providing muscle building amino acids for the body. It's been my experience that a good high protein breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. When I consume pastries or a high carb meal, I tend to continue eating sugary, high carb foods throughout the day.
