You'll feel better and more energetic than ever with these perfectly balanced no-recipe meal ideas.

milk, oats, bread, berries, cracked egg

By Heather Morgan Shott

 

For a breakfast that will keep you energetic all morning long, try a mix of:

-Quality Proteins: The protein in foods such as eggs, nuts, and smoked salmon makes breakfast stick to the ribs longer.

-Healthful Fats: People who eat a breakfast that contains a small amount of fat, like that found in low-fat milk, usually eat less overall throughout the day.

-Complex Carbs: The fiber and nutrients from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables help you lower cholesterol and maintain a healthy weight.
