1. Eating breakfast stops you pigging out mid morning on crisps and chocolate bars from the work vending machine, if you don’t eat breakfast you will feel hungry later in the morning when all you can get is junk.
2. Eating breakfast speeds up your metabolism, its true eating more regularly makes you burn more energy. Eating smaller meals more often as oposed to just 2 big meals a day also puts less strain on your stomach meaning it won’t stick out a much.
This does’nt mean you should stop off for McMuffins on your way to work everyday however, try eating some low GI breakfast cereal like Allbran or Special K, Porridge and unsweatened Muesli are also good sources of low GI breakfast Carbs. Other foods you could try for breakfast are eggs (poached or scrambled), grilled bacon, toast without too much jam or butter. Even if you just have some fruit in the moring its better than having no breakfast at all.
