Better Bottom Line Breakfasts

by Meals Matter | about the author 3. September 2010 15:29

Studies show that eating breakfast helps weight loss and is associated with better weight control. An ongoing study of people who have maintained weight loss of at least 30 pounds for more than a year shows that eating breakfast keeps people slimmer (National Weight Control Registry). Breakfast eaters tend to eat fewer calories, less saturated fat and cholesterol and have better overall nutritional status than breakfast skippers.

Breakfast can also boost your kids’ bottom line as they hit the books for back-to-school season. Numerous studies show a link between eating a healthy breakfast and higher achievement on standardized tests, better concentration and classroom behavior.

Improve your family’s bottom-line with a breakfast of Creamy Wheat Berry Hot Cereal, Mango and Melon Salad with Strawberry Sauce and Good News Breakfast Smoothies. Other satisfying breakfast ideas to try this week include Gingerbread Pancakes with Apple-Berry Topping, Best Breakfast Yogurt Ever, Sunny Frittata and Toast Danish.

Be sure to add these and other recipes to your family meal plan and shopping list.
