In particular, top nutritionist Susie Burrell says that there are some simple steps you can take in the morning to maximise weight loss.

And she emphasises that while many think avoiding breakfast is key to weight loss, having a hearty meal first thing can keep you full and stop you from snacking throughout the day.

While many people believe anything carb-heavy can ruin an otherwise good diet, Susie says they are a vital part when it comes to starting the day.

She says: Unless you are specifically following a low carb or keto program, adding some wholegrain low GI carbs to your breakfast mix is the best way to help replenish your body after the overnight fast, and ensure your brain and muscles have all the energy they need to be at their best.

If cereal is your thing look out for low sugar granola options or oats, fresh fruit is a great option and there is a growing number of lower carb breads in supermarkets that combine wholegrain goodness with fewer carbs than white breads and wraps.

Weight Loss: Eat This One Thing For Breakfast To Lose Weight

We're all guilty of not having enough fruit and veg - but Susie says that adding it to your diet first thing can really make a difference.

Susie says: Few of us get the recommended number of vegetable serves each day and don’t forget that breakfast is a meal in which we can easily add some extra vegetable serves.

Think sliced tomato on toast, grated veg added to egg dishes or veg blended into juices and smoothies for an extra fibre and vitamin boost.

Healthy Foods For Your Weight Loss Journey

Foods to pick or ditch: You can't go wrong with a bowl of fruit salad but try to avoid anything too sugary like a sweet latte or carton of juice.

Inspired by the timeless classic The Breakfast Club, we took a look at what the MyFitnessPal breakfast club noshes on—and some of the data surprised us.

While things weren’t quite to this legendary level of questionable, and as far as we could tell, there were no Cap’n Crunch sandwiches involved, we did spot a few ways our members could improve upon their breakfast habits.

1. You Aren’t Eating Enough for Breakfast. On average, MyFitnessPal members who logged breakfast in January and February of 2015 ate 265 calories for breakfast. One of our nutrition experts, Trinh Le, MPH, RD, recommends that people allocate ¼ to ⅓ of their daily calories to breakfast. Even at the lowest recommended daily calorie goal (1, 200 net calories for women and 1, 500 for men), that translates to a minimum of 300-375 calories. Are you one of the many Americans under-eating at breakfast? Start your day off with a balanced meal and you’ll be less likely to crash and crave unhealthy options as lunchtime approaches.

These Are The 5 Best Breakfasts For Weight Loss According To Experts

On average, members’ breakfasts break down to 34g (62%) of carbs, 9g (16%) of fat and 12g (22%) of protein. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 recommends that people eat 45-50% of their calories from carbohydrates, 25-35% from fat, and 20-25% from protein. So, overall, MyFitnessPal members are eating more carbohydrates and less fat than is recommended for breakfast. Next time you’re in the store shopping for breakfast foods, keep in mind that the carbs you choose should be high-fiber. Try pairing them with protein and fat so you stay fuller longer and have a more balanced diet.

3. You’re Eating Too Much Added Sugar. Every morning, on average, MyFitnessPal members’ breakfasts contain a little more than one tablespoon—3.5 teaspoons or 14g—of sugar. That’s 56 calories, and means that about 21% of people’s breakfast calories are coming from sugar. The World Health Organization recommends that less than 10% of total calorie intake be from added sugar, and points out that a reduction to 5% of total calories can lead to added benefits. Recommendations are different based on whether the sugar is “added, ” as in sweet cereals or breakfast pastries, versus natural, as from fresh fruits. The American Heart Association recommends that women stay below 6 teaspoons (24 grams) and men below 9 teaspoons (36 grams) of added sugar every day. So, if the sugar that we’re seeing logged during breakfast time is mostly coming from “added” sources, most women have already eaten more than half of their daily sugar allotment, and men are over the one-third mark. As you’re assessing your own breakfast menu, take a second to check the labels on your bread, cereal, jam and coffee drinks—the amount of added sugar lurking within may surprise you!
