BREAKFAST

If you want your breakfast to be healthy and balanced, forget about jams, nutella, bacon, croissants, peanut butter and more.

Never go without breakfast – it is really the most important meal of the day. It has been proven that people who do not eat breakfast tend to eat more during the day, especially in the evening.

How does a healthy breakfast look like

• 20% of the daily energy intake
• approx. 1,500 kJ (for a person with a sedentary job)
• proteins, fats, sugars, vitamins and other nutrients in the right proportions

* MORNING TIP: have a glass of clean water on an empty stomach (ideally with lemon) to jump start your metabolism.
