 Absolutely not. Within one hour of waking you need to refuel
your body. Your brain requires nutrients
to function (especially glucose from carbohydrates). “I feel like I’m being ‘good”
by waiting to eat”. Trust me, you are
not doing yourself any favors. Anytime
you delay eating during the morning/afternoon hours it sets you up for more
eating later on in the evening. Studies
have shown this to be true. “My lunch period is at 10:50
or 11 so I don’t need to eat anything before that”. False!
For the same reasons mentioned you still need to eat something in the
morning. “What is a good
breakfast”? Look at the UDSA myplate (www.choosemyplate.gov). You want a little of everything. Preferably a whole grain carbohydrate
(cereal, oatmeal, granola) and some protein/dairy- yogurt, milk (can be almond
or soy milk also) or peanut or nut
butter or an egg, and some fruit or vegetable.
Good examples are: cereal, milk and berries; toast with peanut
butter and fruit; yogurt, granola and fruit; egg and toast; oatmeal with walnuts, a little
brown sugar and some milk and raisins. On the go? Have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or a
granola bar and yogurt. You could also throw a scrambled egg with some cheese
and veggies in a wrap and go! In addition, if you go to
school or work you will be able to concentrate better after having a decent
breakfast. So let’s start tomorrow with
breakfast!!! Aileen Birkitt, RDN www.nutrition4youllc.com |
