What is breakfast?

BREAKING THE FAST

A proper, nutritious breakfast kickstarts your metabolism and replenishes your energy stores after sleep, providing fuel for your brain and body after an overnight fast – quite literally, breaking a fast!¹

According to scientific evidence, we should be aiming to consume 15-25% of our daily energy intake at breakfast time – that’s around 300-500 calories for women and 375-625 calories for men.²

Energy, metabolism, healthier choices

5 BENEFITS OF BREAKFAST

A nutritious breakfast in conjunction with healthy lifestyle and exercise has many health benefits:

• Refuels your glycogen (sugar) stores, boosting your energy levels and mood.
• Keeps your metabolism functioning at an optimal level and helps to maintain body mass index (BMI) within the normal range.⁴
• Provides vital nutrients - fibre and calcium - to kickstart your day.
• Reduces the likelihood of unhealthy snacking.
• Stabilises blood sugar levels - important in helping to prevent diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.⁵

MACRONUTRIENTS

Macronutrients are comprised of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
