Since we were young, our moms always reminds us to never skip breakfast. And apparently, mothers are always right.
Apart from providing us with energy, breakfast foods are good sources of important nutrients such as calcium, iron and B vitamins as well as protein and fibre.
The body needs these essential nutrients and research shows that if these are missed at breakfast, they are less likely to be compensated for later in the day.
According the author of the Greek Yogurt Cookbook, eating a calorie-controlled breakfast will keep you satisfied for the whole day.
Good example can be half a cup of quick oats with a small portion of almonds.
