Healthy Meals Good For You

The people who eat breakfast regularly are most likely to be among the healthiest people you will ever meet! They have more energy, think more clearly and are less likely to battle weight problems than people who skip a morning meal, according to researchers. People who eat breakfast may even live longer.

But not all breakfasts are good for you. High-sugar meals can leave you yearning for a nap by mid-morning, and fat-laden egg-and-bacon breakfasts can lead to over-eating at lunchtime. A balanced breakfast - one that will satisfy your body's nutrients needs - provides a healthy dose of high-fiber carbohydrates (like fruit, oatmeal or other whole grains), good-for-you proteins (like peanut butter or yogurt) and unsaturated fats from foods like nuts and wheat germ.

The following recipes - one for every day of the week - are all easy to make. Pair with the suggested healthy additions to boost the calcium and protein and you will get the biggest nutrient bang for the lightest calorie buck. Best of all, the taste is worth waking up for.
