Why Eat Breakfast?

A study from the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who skipped breakfast were 4.5 times more likely to be obese. They don’t call it the most important meal of the day for nothin’—eating a nutritious morning meal jumpstarts your metabolism and prevents you from overindulging throughout the day. For optimal weight-loss results (or maintenance), choose a breakfast dish with a healthy balance of protein and fiber, like eggs with fruit and whole-wheat toast.
