Breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day, in addition to playing an important role in controlling appetite throughout the day. It also helps limit snacking between meals. A balanced breakfast improves intellectual performance, concentration and memorization.

After eight to ten hours of sleep, the body needs to replenish its energy after a period of fasting. Glucose reserves are then at their lowest level.

It's not about going to work on an empty stomach with just a cup of coffee. It's about taking at least three of the four food groups found in Canada's Food Guide to have a balanced breakfast.

A nutritious breakfast could consist of, for example, the following elements:

A slice of whole grain bread, a boiled egg and a pear

ou

175 ml (¾ cup) oatmeal, 125 ml (½ cup) 1% milk and a banana

You are in a hurry and you don't have time in the morning to prepare a good breakfast; you should at least replace your meal with a protein supplement. This will help you control your hunger in addition to helping you stay intellectually alert.
