Breakfast - Most Important Meal of the Day

Give your day a healthy start with these breakfast tips:

· Select nonfat or 1% milk instead of whole milk
· Use a small glass for your juice and a small bowl for your cereal
· Savor a bowl of bananas, berries, low-fat milk, and sugar substitute
· Substitute a no-calorie sweetener for sugar in your coffee, tea, and cereal
· Spread your muffin, bagel, or toast with 2 teaspoons of fat-free or light cream cheese
· Split a bagel with someone, or wrap up the other half for tomorrow’s breakfast
· Use a nonstick skillet and cooking spray in place of butter or margarine to prepare your eggs
· Try turkey sausage or Canadian bacon for less fat than regular
· Fill you omelet with onions, peppers, spinach, and mushrooms instead of cheese and meat
· Lighten up your omelet or scrambled eggs by using 4 egg whites or ½ cup egg substitute
· Trade regular butter for light whipped or low-calorie butter substitute
