"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is an American saying for a reason! Breaking the overnight fast is the first chance your body has to get your metabolism going. If you choose to skip breakfast, your metabolism may remain sluggish until you get your first meal in. Also, research indicates that if we can alter our eating behaviors to have more filling and nutrient dense meals earlier in the day, it may help prevent overeating at later meals. Furthermore, if you're exercising a few times a week and/or have higher energy needs (hello pregnancy and breastfeeding!) breakfast is another opportunity to consume those additional calories, nutrients, and fiber! So if you're a chronic breakfast-skipper, give this sammy a try and ease yourself into a new morning routine!
