7 Foods That You Actually Shouldn’t Be Eating For Breakfast

It's hard to believe that some of the most popular foods for the morning, are actually ones that you shouldn't be eating.

Breakfast has always been one of my favorite meals to cook at home. While there are the basic ingredients, you can always get very creative with what you make for breakfast. And we've all heard the age old saying that, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day."

If this saying is true, there are certain foods that your definitely want to avoid in the morning. EatThisNotThat.com just came out with their expert recommended list of foods that you should not eat for breakfast. While some of the foods are a given, others were surprising to me. Scroll through and see if you're accidentally eating one of these foods in the morning!

Make sure you are looking at the sugar and protein levels in the cereal you're choosing to make sure it is a good cereal for breakfast.

This one is breaking my heart... Sausage is high in sodium, high in saturated fats, and high in calories.

Instead of wheat bread, try to get a whole grain bread instead.

While they are delicious, muffins have high saturated fat, sugar, and calories. They are essentially cupcakes without the icing. 

As a rule of thumb, you have to look out for fat free, as certain brands with make up for that lack of fat with even more sugar. You'll think you're doing good but really, it's just as bad.

Now this one hurts... Bagels are full of simple carbs, which will fill you up quickly and make you feel sluggish. They might not be the best option for a productive day, but I still love a good bagel every now and again.

While this option may seem healthy, and is super convenient, it's not always good. A lot of premade smoothies will have fruit juice instead of fresh fruit in them so it's super important to read the label on these.
