The issue of what to eat for breakfast comes up a lot in my conversations with clients.
Initially at least, I see people who plan their menus having the exact same breakfast every single morning. And sometimes, it’s not even a good one, a hearty one.
Coffee is not breakfast.1/2 apple is not breakfast.A cheese stick is not breakfast.
It’s great to have a favorite breakfast, but you cannot eat the same breakfast every morning for the rest of your life no matter how much, today, you think you can. It’s just not possible. I always encourage people to at least have two (3 is better) breakfasts they can put into rotation.
Since I am often asked, “What do you eat for breakfast?”, I decided to show you exactly how I go about it. High-fiber, low-calorie, low-fat Wasa crispbreads are a staple; I always include a fruit or a vegetable serving; and I always plan my breakfasts in a rotation, rarely having the same breakfast two days in a row.
These are my breakfasts:
1
2 Wasa “Light Rye” Crispbreads2 slices Sargento’s Thin Colby Jack cheese2 sliced hard boiled eggs1 cup honeydew1 P, 1 FR, 1 M, ½ G2

A good day starts with a good breakfast.
