For you and your children, every excuse or barrier to eating a nutritious breakfast has a solution. Don’t let these excuses stand in your way of starting your day with a good breakfast:
- “I’m not hungry in the morning.” Start your day with a cup of 100% fruit juice or a piece of whole-wheat toast. Later when you are hungry, eat a mid-morning snack — a hard-boiled egg, low-fat or fat-free milk or yogurt, low-fat string cheese or a whole-wheat bagel.
- “I don’t have enough time in the morning.” Stock your kitchen with easy-to-prepare foods such as breakfast cereal, instant oatmeal, small bagels, whole-grain toaster waffles, yogurt and fresh fruit.
- “I’ll gain weight.” There is no evidence to support the belief that eating breakfast will make you gain weight. In fact, skipping meals has been shown to lead to overeating at snack time or the next meal.
- “I don’t like breakfast foods.” Breakfast can be any food you like. A slice of pizza, bowl of soup, a lean-meat sandwich or leftovers all make a fine breakfast.
Think of breakfast as your body’s morning refueling stop to get your day going the right way.

Eating breakfast has actually shown to help people lose weight, not gain it. It gets your metabolism going for the day. (Obviously this probably doesn’t apply if you eat a really high fat, high cal breakfast every morning.)
