8 Healthy Breakfast Recipes for Energy and Appetite Control
Compiled by Amy Zerello
Start the day off with a nutritious breakfast and you may enjoy steadier blood glucose, better concentration, and more success at reaching your healthy weight goals.
Although some of these recipes seem like they have high carbs, and for some diets they do, it does not mean they are unhealthy. Carbs are turned to gluclose for the body to use. If the glucose is not used, hence an exercise routine, it will store as fat. That is when it becomes unhealthy. If you have a decent exercise routine four to five days a week, these recipes are good energy sources and decent nutrional value. Granted, they don't work for everyone, but that doesn't mean they're bad.

I agree, way too many carbs and too sweet to start off the day. The omelet was an excellent choice, but not mention is steel cut oats.

These are healthy??? Not by my standards!! Too many carbs, too much cholesterol. Someone there needs to really look into "healthy" because these recipes are NOT>

Me and my wife are bad diabetics, to even think of eating some of these recipes with tons of CARBs is impossible for either of us.

According to what I learned about carbs, there are just toooooooooo many for me to consider most of the "wonderful" breakfasts you're putting before us. Everyone's different, but I was told 90 carbs a day and one of these recipes has 68! Too much for me. Thanks anyways.

My hospital dietician taught me to count the carbohydrates. Divide everything into "choices". A choice contains 15 grams of carbohydrates. A person my size (large frame & 6' tall) should eat around 15 choices per day. I don't see any consistancy when reading the other comments but I can testify that it dropped my A1C into the normal range from slightly out of the normal. I am thrilled with my system. No meds

Although these recipes look yummy and may be helpful for energy levels, I don't think a nutritionist would recommend them for a diabetic--the carb count is too high, as has been noted in other comments. (Recipe #5 was OK with 13 carbs)

Katie, there are "good carbs" (whole grains, fruits, veggies) and "bad carbs" (refined products) but changing to eggbeaters, skim milk, lo-fat cheese don't do anything to change the carbs, because these are for lower fat, not lower carbs. In fact, many things labeled "low fat" actually add sugar or other refined products and contain more "bad carbs."
