Everyone’s told from a young age that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and to kick start it with something healthy. But what if you don’t have a healthy option? Do you skip it or go for the unhealthy meal…<\/h3>\n

When we skip a meal we’re more likely to eat badly for the rest of the day when we get tempted by delicious treats, so are we better off skipping it?<\/p>\n

The answer is… definitely not!<\/p>\n

After fasting all night, your body needs fuel in the morning to kick start your metabolism. Without that fuel our bodies simply won’t function properly.<\/p>\n

Lindsay Joe, a Greatist<\/a> health and fitness expert, says, \u201cIt\u2019s better to eat something than nothing in the morning,” also adding, \u201cOur bodies are similar to cars\u2014if we don\u2019t have any gas in the tank, performing even the simplest of tasks becomes exhausting and stressful on the body.\u201c<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Studies have also found that eating a consistent breakfast is associated with lower risk of obesity and hypertension.<\/p>\n

Nutritionist, Maya Bach, said, \u201cWhile a doughnut isn\u2019t the ideal fuel for your body, it will at least jump-start your metabolism, helping your body and brain get moving,\u201c Bach says. \u201cIf you eat nothing, chances are you will feel tired, sluggish, and have low energy throughout your morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obviously you shouldn’t be doing this everyday as it’s still extra calories and fat, but if you have no healthy option make sure to still eat something if you’re hungry!<\/p>\n
