We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and in order to lose weight, you should never miss breakfast. But, of course, not every breakfast is good for your health and figure. Here are some healthy breakfast ideas that will help you keep hunger off till lunch time, give you a boost of energy for the entire day and will contribute to your health.

-The best way to start your day may be a bowl of whole grain cereal with lowfat milk. Fast, simple and healthy. When shopping, look for cereal that is high in fiber at least 5 grams per serving. Prefer cereals with minimal sugar: corn flakes instead of frosted flakes, regular Cheerios instead of sweetened versions. Ideally, buy unsweetened cereals, and if you need, add sugar yourself, as much as you need. You will certainly add less sugar than manufacturers put into their sweetened versions.
-Another fast morning meal  eggs. Prefer poached eggs to fried ones, if you want to cut calories  eat egg whites only. They make an excellent breakfast that will hold you full and energetic till lunch. If you like omelets, make a vegetarian omelet with skim milk, cook it on a griddle that doesn’t need oil.
-Oatmeal is a perfect breakfast nourishing, rich in fiber. Add some milk and sugar if you like, or try to add salt and eat it with a slice of lowfat cheese.
-Drink a glass of juice instead of coffee. Juice will wake you up and give you energy for your work day just like coffee, but it’s much healthier.

-What is the Glycemic Index?
As carbohydrate foods have different rates of absorption into the bloodstream, the glycemic index is a ranking that indicates how fast such carbohydrate foods are converted to sugar. Pure glucose is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream so it weighs a GI index of 100. Other carbohydrate foods are mostly below this level. The glycemic index helps nutritionists rate the impact of foods on blood sugar levels. In this regard diabetic patients on insulin shots, benefit from taking foods with low GI index.

-Comparing Low and High Glycemic Foods for Bodybuilding
While low GI foods cause carbohydrates to be slowly released into the blood, high GI meals are released at a much faster rate. How this links to bodybuilding? Insulin is a blood chemical released periodically to control blood sugar levels. High level Glycemic Foods raise the blood sugar to higher rates meaning more insulin is required to get blood sugar levels back to normal. As a bodybuilder, more sugar in the blood means less fat burning during workouts. The perfect way to burn fat is to not have breakfast or a meal before workouts. This burns most fat and the least carbohydrate. It works the other way round too. Eating Foods high on the Glycemic Index mean the least fat burned because there’s still a lot of sugar in the blood for the body to use up. Bodybuilders looking to burn fat will benefit most from low GI feeds which burn up more fat than carbohydrates.
