5 Breakfast Ideas to Help You Lose Weight in the Holidays

So many people trying to lose weight during the holidays start skipping meals and that leads to binging and overeating later in the day.

Breakfast is too important to skip! If you’re having trouble coming up with a healthy winter breakfast, give one of these a try or create your own with these tips.

· Make sure the breakfast has fiber and protein. Both help you stay fuller longer and give you plenty of energy.
· Include some fruit. It’ll give you a burst of morning energy and add a bit of sweetness without adding any additional sugar.

· Warm breakfasts are best in the winter. It can be hard to motivate yourself to eat a bowl of cold cereal when it’s chilly or snowing outside.

1. Warm oatmeal with chunks of fruit. 
Steel cut oats are the best, but it doesn’t really matter which kind you use. Go light on the sugar and add in some chopped apples and dried cranberries or raisins.

Sprinkle on a bit of cinnamon and you’ve got a warm and hearty breakfast that’ll keep you full for hours.
2. Egg white omelet loaded with veggies.
Personally I like to do one whole egg and one egg white to cut calories but still give me the yolk flavor.
Toss the eggs in the pan and load that omelet up with low calorie fresh veggies. Feel free to toss on a bit of low calorie cheese like mozzarella.

3. Whole wheat pancake or waffle.
Of course if you go with this one you need to watch your portions as well as toppings. Instead of syrup, top with berries or fruit. A bit of cinnamon and sugar is a tasty option too. Serve with an egg on the side for some extra protein if you want.

4. Breakfast burrito.
You can find some great low calorie tortillas that will make for the perfect breakfast burrito. Fill with egg whites, veggies, and salsa!

5. Breakfast pizza.
Use those same tortillas from number 4 but add a bit of marinara and mozzarella (don’t go overboard) along with some veggies. Bake it until it’s melty and delicious!

Even if it’s early, breakfest is a great time to get creative! Use what you have, the goal here is to create something healthy and filling thatwill keep you from eating too much when you finally make it to that party or meal.
