¡¡¡¡Breakfast is the most important meal of the day£®It is also the most neglect(ºöÊÓ)£®Common reasons for not eating breakfast include having no time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike and dieting£®
¡¡¡¡Breakfast simply means ¡°break the fast''£®Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state£®In the morning your body needs energy for the day's work ahead£®
¡¡¡¡A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie(¿¨Â·Àï)needs for the day£®On average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner£®If breakfast doesn't appeal(ÎüÒý)to you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning£®
¡¡¡¡If you still aren't hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious(ÓÐÓªÑøµÄ)mid-morning snack(С³Ô)later when you are hungry£®
¡¡¡¡So, you say you are on a diet£®Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more£®It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day£®That is because your body is working correctly£®Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in reality you are probably not£®
¡¡¡¡Not eating breakfast can also cause you t overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later£®To make matters worse, since your body is in a slow state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently(ÓÐЧ)£®If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become hungry and stuff(Ìî±¥)yourself as soon as you begin to eat£®
¡¡¡¡Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right food is important£®The best breakfast foods are fruits ,juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals£®
