Breakfast: Food to consume everyday

Fruit:
You can eat one fruit in the morning if you eat little during the day (not more than 2). Avoid: grapes, cherries … for which it is difficult to get an idea of a standard portion.

French loaves/baguettes:

“Consume the bread with the lowest glycaemic index,” says the nutritionist. It prevents rapid energy loss at the end of the morning. Not more than ¼ to 1/3 of a baguette.

Butter:

10g a day is recommended, the equivalent of the little packets served in cafes and restaurants. But note: salted or unsalted, it stimulates the taste buds and may lead you to eat too much bread, butter and jam.

Yogurt:

Add a little sugar or jam to plain yoghurt. The palate distinguishes the taste of yogurt and sugar, and the brain limits itself based on the type of food and calories.

Tea, herbal teas and coffee:

A hot drink (with one sugar or sweetener, if required) rehydrates the body. It is also an asset to the quality of digestion and digestive wellness.

Walnuts and almonds:

Rather than “a handful”, stick to 3-5 almonds or 3 whole walnuts for your breakfasts. Not to be confused with dried fruit, (raisins …) which contain large amounts of sugar and should be reserved for athletes.
