Eating a nutritious breakfast sets the tone for the day and promotes weight maintenance and weight loss by maintaining blood glucose levels and your metabolism.

Skipping the morning meal can throw off your body’s rhythm of fasting and eating. When you wake up, the blood sugar your body needs to make your muscles and brain work their best is usually low. Breakfast helps replenish it.

Having breakfast helps you eat fewer calories later in the day and maintain a healthy weight. 5. A morning meal is a necessary fuel not only for your body but for the brain as well. Eating a healthy breakfast helps improve your concentration and productivity.

By not eating every once a while, your body has to burn the fat in your system for energy, which would lead to weight loss. Also, by not eating for twenty four hours, you’re pushing your body into a calorie deficit, which also leads to weight loss. It makes sense.

You can even leave out the cheese and add spinach, sauteed bell peppers, or whatever healthy add-on’s you’d like to add.
