Tips for Eating Breakfast Out
Breakfast menus can be loaded with high-saturated fat items (like bacon and sausage) and baked goods that are high in saturated and trans fats. Instead, look for choices that include fresh fruit and whole grains.
1. Start your meal with a glass of fresh fruit juice or green tea.
2. Order whole-grain instead of white toast.
3. Instead of butter, spread your toast with low-fat cottage cheese.
4. Look for whole-grain cereals with fat-free milk (but watch out for high-fat granolas)
5. Enjoy fat-free or low-fat yogurt with fruit — either in a bowl or as a smoothie!
6. Hot cereals such as oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat or cream of rice with a little honey can warm you up on a cool morning.
