Five Breakfast Mistakes to Avoid

Breakfast counts as the most important meal of the day, but few realize that skipping this important meal would lead to an adverse effect on their weight and overall health. Moreover, partaking in Breakfast shouldn't be replete with the following casual errors, which might serve to defeat the purpose of the meal altogether:

#1 Juicing your Fruit

The next time you approach a blender to juice an orange or lemon, remember that this process causes the fruit to shed most of its vitamins and nutrients, minerals and fibre. Instead, consider replacing your juice with a glass of water and a whole fruit alongside - this will also save you some extra calories!

#2 Having a baby-sized Breakfast

Eating a meal for the sake of it - especially Breakfast, cannot help you escape from those extra calories. It is a common myth that consuming food of your choice after a long fast will not make one gain weight. Oily parathas, waffles and leftover dinner can in fact, lead to a greater calorie consumption through the rest of the day as well, putting your right back in square one.

#3 Monitor your Caffeine Intake

A cup of coffee or tea does help boost your mood and metabolism, but avoid drinking multiple cups of the beverage through your morning. This can cause sleep deprivation, and coffee add-ons can reflect on your body in a bad way.

#4 Avoid Breakfast Buffets

Buffets and large Breakfast spreads may sound fancy on paper, but they could make you eat more than you need. Do not stuff yourself by opting for sugar coated cereals, doughnuts and fruit cocktails. Instead, choose mild wheat preparations, leaner cereals, oats, flakes and milk to keep the meal on a balanced standing.

#5 Choosing the Wrong Foods

Eat a fist full of nuts, a bowl of cereal and a whole fruit instead of chocolate pancakes, muffins and mayo sandwiches. Higher caloried and high-fat items can cause a sugar spike and recurring spikes could cause health issues in your middle years.
