Regularly eating breakfast activates your metabolism which makes digestion faster and easier. It is recommended to not skip breakfast and to eat healthy breakfast foods with lesser calories to promote weight loss.
Eating healthy during breakfast does not mean that we need to stick only to fruits and vegetables. There are a lot of delicious low calorie foods that we can consume during the most important meal of the day. The key here is to limit your food intake to control calories.
Here are some Healthy Breakfast Foods that you can try:
Spicy Sausage and Eggs (300 calories)
Take 2 inches of Mexican or spicy pork sausage, 2 beaten eggs and 1 tbsp olive oil. Slice the sausage and cook under a hot grill, or roast in the oven at 375F. Cook the eggs in a frying pan using the olive oil, stirring frequently so scrambled, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add the sausage pieces and serve warm.
Cheese and Ham Mini Frittatas (180 calories per serving)
Makes 48 portions of healthy breakfast foods, and they can be frozen so you can have a good breakfast quickly every day. Beat 8 eggs, add ½ cup skimmed milk, 4 oz chopped ham, 1/3 cup shred low fat cheese, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Lightly grease 2 x 24 mini muffin trays and fill each hole with the mixture, bake for 10 minutes. Serve with grilled bacon. The fillings can be your choice and this is a great way to use up leftovers, for example: broccoli and cheddar, spinach and roasted peppers or mushrooms, sausage and/or bacon, tomato and mozzarella, chicken or turkey and mozzarella, Parma ham and Parmesan, chorizo and onion.
