Eating a Healthy Breakfast
The mistakes made with breakfast are
unhealthy for your body.

fiber in your breakfast. According to Keri Gans,
“Conversely, more fiber will keep you fuller longer.”
Therefore, a suggested amount is at least 5 grams of fiber
otherwise you will be hungry too soon after eating. Also,
not having enough protein in your meal is another error.

without ample amounts, you'll be hungry sooner rather
than later.” Skipping breakfast only leads to unwise and
unhealthy food choices later in the day. Due to many
people either skipping or eating breakfast too late in the
