Get your day off to a great start with easy breakfast meals.
By Dana McCauley
Dietitians agree that feasting on sugary cereal or cakey muffins isn't the best way to start the day. Instead, they recommend eating a breakfast that includes at least 1 oz (28 g) of protein (such as hard cheese, meat or eggs) and a minimum of 20% of your daily calorie intake. Eating these foods for breakfast will boost energy and reduce cravings later in the day.
