What is the absolute best thing to eat for breakfast? ›

Oatmeal + fruit + nut butter.

The nut butter adds protein and healthy fats. The fruit tops it off with fiber and vitamins, plus it gives your breakfast a sweet taste. Avoid pre-packed oatmeal mixes that have added sugar and use old-fashioned oats instead.

For most healthy adults, it's safe to eat 1–2 eggs a day depending on how much other cholesterol is in your diet. If you already have high cholesterol or other risk factors for heart disease, it may be best to eat no more than 4–5 eggs per week.

In and of themselves, scrambled eggs are a healthy dish. Eggs are high in protein as well as B vitamins and vitamin D; eggs also contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats. However, when butter, cream, cream cheese, or shredded cheese are added, the calories, cholesterol, and fat content increase.

The main reason the experts believe we don't feel hungry in the morning is lifestyle-led: stress. “Waking up with no appetite could mean you're running on cortisol, which acts as a stress hormone,” explains nutritional therapist Cara Rose.

Registered Dietitian Kristi Ruth told Woman's World, “It is pretty common to wake up not feeling hungry. This is thought to be caused by a combination of hormones and how much someone ate the day or night before.” In other words, eating a big meal late at night can reduce your hunger levels the next morning.

If you notice that you don't feel hungry for several days at a time or more, your lack of an appetite may be due to stress, anxiety, depression, sickness, getting older, pregnancy, gastrointestinal problems, and certain medications.

What are two things you don't eat for breakfast? ›

Answer: Lunch and Dinner!

Bananas are packed with essential vitamins and materials and a whole lot of good natural sugar that can help fuel your day. And because bananas are also rich in fiber, the energy you get from consuming a banana will last you through the morning and beyond.

The Verdict. In this scenario, eggs on toast is the breakfast winner due to their protein and complex carb double whammy - it's especially good if you're trying to keep yourself full till lunch. Don't ditch the porridge straight away though, add some greek yoghurt, nut butter and/or seeds for an added protein punch.
