What Do I Eat For Breakfast?

You may be thinking that a healthy breakfast should include the main food groups, which include protein, carbohydrates and fats. But what about protein? This includes meat, fish, nuts and seeds. What about vegetables? It’s common to think that vegetables are an important part of a healthy breakfast. But not always. The amount of calories in vegetables is generally low. You may be thinking that you have to eat large amounts of vegetables to get enough protein. But you can also get protein from dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, and milk. So is protein in breakfast the only food group you should be eating? Not necessarily. Other food groups such as fruits and whole grains are also important. Eggs and milk are both examples of food that you can eat for breakfast that also provide protein.

So, it turns out that calories are important, not only for how much we eat, but for how we feel. A study in the journal Appetite looked at how women feel about snacks and found that they feel more satisfied with snacks that don’t have a high calorie count. To understand why this is the case, the researchers looked at what the women were eating when they were feeling satisfied and unsatisfied. When they were feeling satisfied, the women chose snack foods that had a lower calorie count. These snack foods were full of sugar, salty, and/or high in fat, while the snacks that they picked when they weren’t feeling satisfied had more calories, were low in sugar, and/or high in fiber and protein. The reason that the women chose the snacks that they did was that they wanted the snack to taste good. The study didn’t look at what the women chose when they were hungry.
