Registered Dietitian Joan O'Keefe discusses the importance of a good healthy breakfast. She focuses on why lean protein should be incorporated at every meal. The right start to your morning must include protein. Protein is a complex molecule and it's bigger than easily digested carbohydrates, so it takes longer to digest. This long breaking down process helps extend the time period before the body begins to raise blood sugar levels. Protein also helps you to feel more full, snack less between meals, and eat half as many calories. Protein doesn't have to be a difficult thing to have in the diet every morning. Sometimes, leftover dinners from the night before work very well. It doesn't necessarily have to be a breakfast food; it just has to be a protein source. Beans, nuts, and egg whites are good choices for breakfast. For more information or to view the rest of the Nutrition 101 series, go to www.foreveryoungdiet.com.
