Quick and easy breakfast ideas. What can you do if breakfast doesn’t appeal to you? If you’ve been skipping breakfast for years, changing your habits will be hard, but not impossible. Take it slow and add something small, working your way up to a good breakfast with a balance of carbohydrates and protein. Here are some examples of quick and easy breakfast meals that include a balance of protein and carbohydrates:
  • Whole-wheat toast with peanut butter
  • Low fat cottage cheese with canned peaches (in light syrup)
  • Banana with handful of mixed nuts
  • Whole grain cereal with low fat milk
  • Apple and hard-boiled egg
  • Low fat yogurt with granola

By eating a well-balanced breakfast you provide your body the fuel it needs, protect your muscles, boost your metabolism, and reduce cravings throughout the day.
