What better way to start your weekend than a nice stroll to your local café for brekky! Whether you chose to eat your breakfast whilst reading the weekend newspaper or in between chatting with friends, breakfast away from home can be delicious without being overindulgent.
The breakfast menu of local cafes can be quite extensive and the size of some meals may take your breath away, but choosing a satisfying and tasty breakfast doesn’t have to leave you popping at the seams.
For those of you that enjoy a light summer style breakfast, why not choose natural muesli with fresh fruit and yoghurt, bircher muesli, fruit loaf with jam or fruit salad. If choosing muesli, remember that toasted muesli contains a higher amount of calories than natural muesli.
For a more substantial breakfast, eggs on wholegrain toast with a side of spinach, mushrooms, tomato or baked beans will definitely do the trick. Ask for your eggs to be poached, as fried (in oil) and scrambled eggs (with added butter/cream/milk) can contain higher amounts of fat, taking away the nice abs you’ve been working so hard to achieve.
Now you may have realised that there hasn't been anything mentioned about the mouth-watering bacon and hashbrowns which glisten on the plate of so many hot breakfasts. Well if you really want something fatty and salty make a choice between the two, as after all you can only have one favourite!
If you or your partner are feeling extra hungry one morning and crave the “big” brekky, why not make up for it by limiting what you eat for the rest of the day or rounding up the troops for a afternoon game of touch, tennis or any other sport that may take your fancy.
What about the Eggs Benedict you ask? Well ask for the hollandaise sauce on the side so that you can add it yourself! This will help to reduce the about of calories you consume, and still allow you the creamy smooth mouth feel of this tasty topping.
