Make Healthy Breakfast Grain Choices







Breakfast in general is the most important meal of anyone's day because it gives your metabolism a boost and gets you burning calories throughout the entire day. Making healthy breakfast grain choices are easy. These steps show you how you can convert your bad breakfast habits into healthy ones.


Instructions








1. Choose 100 percent whole wheat bread over white toast for your morning breakfast. Whole wheat bread tends to have more grams of fiber than white bread. White bread is bread that is stripped of its nutrients, while 100 percent whole wheat bread contains all its natural nutrients.


2. Choose oatmeal over sugary cereal. Regular oatmeal that you cook on the stove is a better choice than instant oatmeal packages. Instant oatmeal tends to have higher levels of sugar. Furthermore, steel-cut oatmeal is the best choice when having oatmeal.


3. Pick English muffins over eating bagels. English muffins are lower in calories than bagels. One bagel can be equivalent to three to four slices of bread, which is excessive for only breakfast.
