Christmas Morning - Don't Skip Breakfast

Posted on Dec 24th 2008 7:00PM by Martha Edwards
When you get up on Christmas morning, it might seem like a good idea to skip breakfast so you can eat more at dinner. Plus you've got all those shiny new presents to distract you from the innate need to seek sustenance. But skimping on your first meal can slow down your metabolism for the rest of the day, according to our friends at Fitsugar. And let's be honest -- that's the last thing you want when the spread is so fantastic.

A better option? Prepare a platter of fresh fruit for breakfast and serve it alongside some low-fat yogurt, cottage cheese or oatmeal. Omelets are also a great option -- the more veggies the better.
