What is breakfast?
It`s first meal that you eat in period of 30 min, since you woke up.
What should contain?
"You need a good source of complex carbohydrates and sufficient protein,
vitamins and minerals to get your day off to the best start. The BREAKFAST contains the all the nutrients you need to sustain your energy levels, stay fuller for longer and achieve maximum health." -
Luigi Gratton, M.P.H.
Most common breakfast:
1. Simple carbohydrate-based Breakfast
High calories, low nutrients, low protein. Does your day start with
white bread, a sugary cereal or a pastry? These foods may give
you a short burst of energy but they lack the protein, fibre, vitamins
and minerals your body needs. Shortly after eating, you'll notice
your energy levels drop, making you feel tired and reach for
unhealthy snacks that can lead to weight gain.
2.No Breakfast
Low calories, low nutrients, low protein. Do you skip breakfast and then
snack to get the energy you need? Skipping breakfast means your body
has to draw on reserves of nutrients and water that will have depleted
overnight. This can make you feel tired, irritable and prone to snacking
on sugary foods for an energy boost.
