Eat Breakfast to Lose Weight

Healthy Breakfast Idea: Breakfast Sandwich

Lean protein: 1 egg, 1/4-1/2 cup egg substitute, or 2 egg whites. 1 vegetarian sausage patty or 1 ounce ham
Whole grains: 1/2-1 whole grain English muffin
Antioxidants: Eat with 1/2-1 cup berries or peaches
Optional healthful fat: 1 slice low-fat cheese
You also can make this with 1-2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese and 2 ounces smoked salmon.

Tip: If you're trying to lose weight, studies show that starting your day with an egg-based breakfast could help you feel full and eat less for the next 36 hours. The American Heart Association says that even for some people with high cholesterol, an egg a day is OK.
