But after all we have to take care of our body. It's the only place we have to live in.

Your breakfast should be rich in fibers like cornflakes or oats,so that you stay full for a couple of hours.
For protein,add a glass of milk, yogurt or nuts.
You can add fruits,they are rich in vitamins and anti oxidants.
Don't skip your breakfast and wait to eat until lunch, you will be so hungry to make a healthy choice.

Eat every 3-4 hours. Take small bites and chew as long as possible. Research show that,the more you chew,the more nutrients are absorbed in the body.
