It has often been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and with good reason.

It helps to jumpstart your metabolism and keep you alert as you navigate your way through the day. Also, people who consume breakfast are more likely to have a lower BMI, consume less fat throughout the day, have a better chance of reaching the recommended daily levels for fiber and calcium, eat more fruits and vegetables and snack less throughout the day.
