We’ve all heard the adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and there’s a reason the saying has stuck around.

Eating a healthy breakfast is a great way to start your day, kickstart your metabolism, and boost your energy.

Studies have shown that breakfast eaters are all-around healthier, less likely to be obese, more likely to have good blood sugar levels, less likely to be hungry later on in the day, and may have improved cognitive function.

But not all breakfasts are created equal.

Breakfast foods, like cereal, bagels, and pastries, can be packed with refined carbs, sugars, and empty calories.

Eating refined carbs causes surges in blood sugar levels which can lead to reduced energy, increased food cravings, and weight gain.

What to eat for breakfast when you’re trying to lose weight

Superstar breakfasts should consist of a complex carb paired with a healthy fat or lean protein.

Complex carbs are rich in fiber and high in vitamins and minerals.

Unlike simple carbs (carbs with high-calorie but low-nutrient counts), complex carbs take time to break down, delivering your body the fuel and energy it needs to run like a well-oiled machine.

Protein provides your body with sustainable energy and takes even longer to break down than complex carbs, keeping you fuller longer.

Finally, healthy fats can have an array of health benefits for the body including reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and Alzheimer’s while boosting the immune system.

But remember that healthy fats are Noom red foods, meaning they are very calorie-dense.

They are great for our bodies in small portions — that’s why we suggest that 25% of your calorie intake come from red foods each day.

So how can you turn these three macronutrients into a nutritious breakfast?

Below we’ve listed foods in each category that you can mix and match to create your perfect breakfast. (Don’t forget — you can always add a healthy helping of fruits or veggies to your meal to make it more filling!)

Don’t have time for that?

We’ve also included seven healthy breakfast recipes with ingredient lists to keep you prepared for the entire week.

An excuse to eat a delicious meal? We’ll take it.

Should you skip breakfast to lose weight?

First, let’s address that some people think that skipping breakfast will help you lose weight.

Why?

To lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories. To eat fewer calories, you could eat fewer meals. To eat fewer meals, you could simply skip one.

On the other hand, many think that skipping breakfast will lead to weight gain.

People who are #TeamBreakfast will share studies demonstrating that people who eat breakfast are leaner than people who don’t. They’ll also share studies that suggesting that those who eat breakfast are better able to maintain weight loss.

Unfortunately, those studies don’t show that eating breakfast causes weight loss or weight maintenance — they simply demonstrate that breakfast is associated with the two.

People who eat breakfast and are able to maintain a healthy weight likely also have other healthy habits that contribute to this association.

The facts? Neither side is right.

Research shows that eating breakfast will not cause weight loss or weight gain. It’s a lot more complicated than that…

The Bottom Line

Breakfast isn’t a universally “magical meal.”

Ultimately, whether eating a meal first thing in the morning is a good weight loss strategy depends on you.

For some people, eating a nutritious, well-balanced breakfast can help set a healthy tone for the day, keep hunger at bay, and prevent overeating later in the day. For these people, breakfast could very well be the most important meal of the day.

For others, who may not wake up hungry, waiting to eat the first meal until a bit later in the day can save calories for when they have more of an appetite. For these people, skipping breakfast may just be the key to sucessful weight loss.

However, no one should wait until they’re overly hungry to eat. This is when we tend to overeat and poor food choices come into play!

Is oatmeal OK on Noom?

For breakfast on Noom, I typically have one of two things: oatmeal with berries or Greek yogurt with berries. (I love berries, what can I say?) In the cold winter months, I like a cup of oats (160 cal) with Swerve brown sugar substitute (0 cal), cinnamon, and ½ cup mixed berries (35 cal).

Can you eat bananas on the Noom diet?

Green foods: Blueberries, apples, carrots, peppers, spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, sweet potatoes, beets, berries, bananas, oats, whole-grain bread, quinoa, non-fat dairy products, egg whites, watermelon, lettuce, pickles.

Are eggs a red food in Noom?

The app also provides a color-coded breakdown of your food based on how calorie-dense they are: green (fruits, veggies, most whole grains, complex carbs), yellow (lean meats, starches, eggs), and red (typically processed food but also calorie-dense foods like oils and nuts).

Can you eat yogurt on Noom?

Did you know nonfat yogurt is a Noom green food? It's low in calories, but the protein can help you feel full. Try Greek yogurt for even more protein!
