This Is The Best Time To Eat Breakfast,

According To A Dietitian
Growing up, we've all heard the saying – "breakfast is the most important meal of the
day. A healthy breakfast doesn't just provide you energy to seize the day, it jumpstarts
your metabolism, balances blood sugar levels, assists in weight management, even
promotes heart health and improves cognitive function.
Why skipping breakfast is a bad idea?
According to a survey conducted by Food Insight, over 90% of Americans agree that it's
the most important meal of the day, and yet a mere 44% eat breakfast every day.
Skipping breakfast can lead to an array of health problems including stress, fatigue and
increased susceptibility to obesity and diabetes.
In addition, ditching breakfast frequently hampers your focus, alertness and
productivity. Over time, it also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and nutrient
deficiencies.

So, when should you have breakfast?

When it comes to a healthy diet, when you're having your meal is as important as what
you're eating.The best time to have breakfast is within two hours of getting up. "The
sooner you eat breakfast after you wake up, the better it is for your metabolism," says
Larson.
Lunch is ideal about 3 to 4 hours after breakfast to maintain steady blood glucose and
keep hunger manageable. Dinner is best to be eaten again 3 to 4 hours after lunch and 2
hours before going to bed to promote optimal sleep and efficient use of calories.
Generally, you should plan your meals around your schedule.
