Breakfast Menu
Too many working women skip breakfast and then gobble down the wrong foods after they've checked in with the boss. Take-out breakfast from fast-food establishment are very high in fat, salt, sugar, and cholesterol-typically eggs, croissants, doughnuts, sweet rolls, fried ham, sausages, or bacon. Commercial bran muffins are likely to be high in sugar and saturated fats. Fruited yogurt contains 140 calories of heavily sugared preserves and 140 calorie of yogurt. Watch out for bagels with cream cheese and for commercial granola, usually high in fat and sugar. Nondairy creamers are a bad idea because they're made of corn syrup and coconut oil.
If you can possibly take the time to do so, have breakfast at home. Prepare a dish of hot cereal in the microwave oven. Blend yogurt, buttermilk, or liquefied powdered milk with bananas, peaches, or fruit juice.
If you don't have to hurry, sit down to a proper breakfast of fresh fruit or juice and whole grain cereal or whole wheat toast or prepare something nontraditional such as brown rice with yogurt and raisins or a chicken sandwich on whole wheat pita bread. Remember that eating a good breakfast means eating less and spending less on lunch; breakfast can supply nutrients such as vitamins C and D and calcium and iron that may be missing in other meals of the day; and eating a nourishing breakfast can reduce impatience and irritability and improve late morning concentration span.
