#HealthTalk: Healthy Breakfast Ideas
Sarah Stanley joined us for a live Twitter chat to discuss why breakfast is so important plus some healthy breakfast recipes. Check out the recap.
- Q1: Do you ever skip breakfast?
@EverydayHealth A1 #HealthTalk no! #BreakFast is my favourite meal & I'm always hungry within 20mins of waking up... must eat.
@EverydayHealth A1: Try not to, since it's 'the most imp. meal' Gets the metabolism going & gives you energy to face the day #healthtalk
A1 No meal should be skipped, esp #breakfast. Skipping meals slows ur #metabolism & leads to poor food choices later. #HealthTalk
Skipping breakfast leads to eating more later on (that “starving” effect), headaches, fatigue #healthtalk
Hi #HealthTalk & @EverydayHealth here from NYC! A1 I never skip #breakfast! I'm always hungry when I wake up so it gets me going!
@sarahstanley Breakfast is the easiest of quick meals, too. Definitely no excuse to skip. #healthtalk
A1: I used to skip breakfast and the result was obesity but now healthy breakfast is a must #healthtalk #healthtalk- Did you know? 10% of Americans skip breakfast! #healthtalk
A1: I love my breakfast! Can't leave the house in the morning without it #HealthTalk- A1 When we're STARVING #healthy often loses 2 convenience. Stay in control by not skipping meals (esp #breakfast). #HealthTalk
@sarahstanley Here are some #Breakfast Basics for Busy #Families: http://www.eatright.org/Public/content.aspx?id=6442460400#.UgkzhWud27s.twitter …ntnoexcusesxchealthtalkthRDtipsRDtips- Be careful of eating yogurt for breakfast. Most are full of sugar. #healthtalk
@sarahstanley I am not surprised - I know a lot of people who skip breakfast, but I don't know how they make it thru the day. #healthtalk
A1: I often make it before bed - granola, fiber, almond mix in tupperware so "grab & go" on those rushed mornings! #HealthTalk- Q2: What's your biggest challenge in eating a healthy breakfast?
A2 Making sure that I have protein, carbs, and veggies! Precook some of the harder to cook stuff on the weekend! #HealthTalk
A2 Time on the weekdays when you are running out the door! @EverydayHealth #HealthTalk- A2: It's easy for me to eat a #healthy #breakfast bc it sets the mood for the day! I just like to make something quick! #HealthTalk
@EverydayHealth Q2 Dont care for bfast foods #HealthTalk- Skipping breakfast because you don’t “have time” is a lame excuse. You make time for what you want. Make time for your health! #healthtalk
- @EverydayHealth A2: time & creativity/variety, but I always have something (granola or banana or smoothie if lacking in time). #healthtalk
- Coffee (w/ sugar & cream) or a frapp is not breakfast. Spikes your blood sugar, which causes insulin to rise = weight gain. #healthtalk
