In short, the protein-rich bacon and eggs are better for you. Scramble one whole egg with two egg whites, add 3 strips of bacon and 4-8 ounces of plain greek yogurt with berries and you will be giving your body a fat-burning fuel cocktail that will help your metabolism run more efficiently throughout the day than any bowl of cereal – cold or hot – ever will. 

Coffee or tea that is unsweetened or with a small amount of real sugar (no artificial sweeteners – we’ll get to why in a minute) is a good compliment to a healthy breakfast. Opt for fresh fruit with your meal as opposed to fruit juice. The juice is loaded with simple carbohydrates. Save the carbs for lunch or dinner and consume them in moderation.
