You’ve probably heard it before; breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
So why are so many of us still skipping? Or not eating enough? A common misbelief is that the less we eat, the more weight we lose. In fact, when it comes to food, not only is it about what we are eating, it’s when.

You’re better off eating a filling meal in the morning and smaller meals through out the day.
Do something that will help you get into a routine. If you’re a late bird, maybe think about setting your morning alarm 15 minutes earlier. Prepare something the night before or think of something simple to make; a fruit salad, or scrambled eggs on toast.
