Trying to figure out what to eat for breakfast when on a diet can be a tough thing.  One saying to remember is that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Some people choose to skip breakfast and that will really backfire.  Breakfast is important because a decent size breakfast will help get your metabolism going for the day, so skipping breakfast will really set you back.

One thing that is tough is that breakfast foods always seem to be high in calories.  A wimpy bowl of cereal has at least several hundred calories.  A donut is obviously bad, but some people don’t know that a bagel can be a whole lot worse!  Here are some good diet breakfast food ideas:

1. Egg whites - Eggs are really good for you, but some people think they are high in fat and cholesterol.  Remove the yolk (the yellow part) and you have a pretty nutritious breakfast.
2. Diet cereals with skim milk - A lot of diet cereals might be low in calories and high in other good nutrients.  The only drawback is that they are traditionally more expensive than regular cereal.
3. Whole grain toast - white bread doesn’t have much nutritional value, but whole wheat bread does.
4. Diet food delivery service meals. - Check out medifast and other diet food delivery services and see what breakfasts they have to offer.

Just remember that skipping breakfast is not an option.  It truly is the most important meal of the day!
