Many people who struggle with weight problems or muscle building problems leave out the most important meal of the day, breakfast. A recent study analyzed the breakfasts of 19,000 people, ages 12 and older, finding that high-fiber, low-fat breakfasts may promote healthy weight control more than the “refined” breakfasts most people are eating. The No. 1 reason people say they skimp on breakfast is time, prompting the average Joe to grab-and-go. Still, according to the American Dietetic Association, “breakfast doesn’t have to be fancy or traditional to meet nutritional needs” — and you can get started on simple, easy and healthful breakfasts.

A classic excuse for skipping breakfast is often about dieting. People feel that by ignoring the first meal of the day, they are reducing their caloric intake and promoting weight loss. A vicious cycle is started to eat a larger meal toward the end of the day and actually not be hungry for breakfast the next morning. Our body loves to be fueled often to perform well.
