Eat A Big Breakfast

Hard to believe, but there could be a benefit to loading up your breakfast plate.
Besides helping you eat less later in the day, a big breakfast might also help you lose weight. But you have to be smart about it.
Load Up to Slim Down?
Okay, so you can’t completely overdo it at breakfast and hope to drop pounds. But when obese dieters ate a big 600-calorie breakfast of healthy protein and carbs (think scrambled eggs, diced turkey, whole-wheat toast, and a banana), they lost significantly more weight than dieters who ate only half that much. Why? Researchers speculate that eating a large balanced meal in the morning helps stymie carb cravings later in the day -- especially if you’re cutting carbs and calories in an effort to slim down. 
A Better Breakfast
Here are some other ways to make your morning meal really count:
- Put eggs back on the menu. Yep, they’re officially a health food again.
- Never skip.
