How Do You Prepare A Breakfast Full Of Fiber?
A diet rich in fiber has many benefits. It can help you maintain energy throughout the day, reduces cancer risk, and can help you eat less. Starting your day with a fiber-filled breakfast allows you to make the most of these benefits. • Choose whole plant foods. Some good choices include: • Fresh fruit • Frozen fruit (nutritionally equivalent to fresh) • Whole grains (Such as brown rice, whole rolled oats, or barley) • Cereals with added fiber • Fresh fruit or vegetable juice • Eliminate low-fiber foods. These include: • Pop-tarts and other pasteries • Sugary cereals • White bread • Processed fruit products Partition your plate to make sure you’re getting enough fiber as well as enough protein. About 2/3 of your plate should be covered with fruits or whole grains (fiber-rich, and rich in complex carbohydrates). The other third should be full of protein, such as eggs.
