Is skipping breakfast an old habit, or, do you just not feel like eating so early in the morning?
About 40% of Aussies skip breakfast at least two times a week. No doubt you have heard that breakfast helps wake up your metabolism, gets your engine burning, generating energy for you over the day. If you are a breakfast skipper and the thought of food so early in the morning is simply… unappealing?
Breakfast is usually something based on high fibre, low GI carbohydrate foods such as cereals, toast, fruit and dairy to help top up your blood glucose levels which are depleted overnight while sleeping. Glucose is your engine’s preferred fuel source and the brain in particular only functions happily when making energy from glucose. The longer it takes to top up those glucose levels the more sluggish you may feel.
Breakfast skipping does have its health disadvantages. If you skip breakfast you are more likely to:
Eat less nutrients: essential nutrients missed at breakfast are not made up during other meals in the day
Have less control over appetite: people who eat breakfast are less likely to be hungry and overeat during the rest of the day
Have a higher Body Mass Index (BMI):breakfast eaters have healthier weights than those who skip breakfast
Have reduced cognitive abilities: compared to breakfast eaters
So breakfast eating is a valuable habit for good health. The question is why don’t you like eating breakfast? Has it simply become a habit – you were raised in a family of non breakfast eaters? Do you feel nauseous in the morning and food is a real turn off? Do you wake up late and disorganised so there’s no time for breakfast or are you a shift worker with a crazy schedule?
Lack of time is the number 1 reason skippers miss breakfast but half of breakfast skippers prefer to tweet than eat – social media is more important? (reference)
Here are some tips that may help skippers become eaters:
If you have been a breakfast skipper from way back you may need to retrain your body to eat food earlier in the day just like an athlete has to train for competition. If you skip breakfast but end up eating a bigger morning tea you can slowly change your routine to bring that first meal forward a little each day until you are eating at breakfast time.
Or, you can start by eating something small first thing in the morning and building it up over time. This may appeal to those who feel nauseous in the mornings and can’t stomach too much food. It can often feel a bit like jetlag – your body’s rhythms need adjusting. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day can also help reset the body clock.
Maybe you’ve lost interest in breakfast because you eat the same thing day in day out. Here’s some breakfast ideas that may tempt your taste buds:
Smoothies based on milk, juice, water, ice or drinking yoghurt, pulsed with fruit, avocado, nuts, honey
Toast, English muffins or crumpets topped with avocado and vegemite or a spread such as jam, honey or nut butter. Or if you prefer something more elaborate, perhaps ricotta, apple and cinnamon or tomato and onion bruschetta
Eggs: frittatas, omelettes or simply poached, fried, scrambled or boiled with avocado toast soldiers
Cereals based on oats such as porridge and natural or bircher muesli, mixed with dried fruit, nuts, seeds, cinnamon and topped with sliced fruit, honey or yoghurt
And for those on the run… tubs of yoghurt topped with muesli, easy eating fruit such as bananas, apples, mandarins and berries.
