Did you know that those who maintain a healthy weight consistently eat breakfast? Many people who have problems with their report say that they often skip breakfast. Many people have reported that when they eat breakfast, they feel less hungry throughout the day and don’t require as many snacks to keep them going. But it does matter what foods you choose for breakfast. It is better to consumer whole grains, whole fruit instead of juice, lean protein, low fat dairy foods, and even vegetables. Eating together as a family encourages people to consumer breakfast especially for children, it is important that their parent serve as a good role model. We often run out of time to make breakfast in the morning but it is easy to pack something the night before to take with you or do whatever preparation you can the night before. It doesn’t have to be anything difficult or even a traditional breakfast item. If you are able to consume breakfast more often, you will be able to control your weight more easily, have more energy, and feel better.

Cooking 101 is a 9-week virtual series through Zoom that would be helpful for someone who is leaving home and setting up their kitchen or someone who is downsizing.
