When you\u2019re taking GLP-1, it\u2019s extra important to choose healthy foods to eat for breakfast\u2014and for every other meal, of course.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think that your only options are grin-and-bear-it-breakfasts. Not true! Nutritionists have some suggestions that your body will love. And that you\u2019ll love to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best breakfast #1: Oatmeal with defatted peanut butter&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If oatmeal and berries is your usual go-to, you can jazz it up with some defatted peanut butter powder for a savory hot cereal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re getting in that protein in the morning that way,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaclynlondonrd.com\/\">Jacyln London, RD, CDN<\/a>, author of <em>Dressing On The Side (And Other Diet Myths Debunked)<\/em>. \u201cYou want to make sure that you are prioritizing that above everything else.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since GLP-1 can make you lose lean muscle as well as fat, you need to protect the latter. And protein is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-reflex-interstitial-cta-block\"><style>.elementor-13

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best breakfast #2: Plain, low fat Greek yogurt with berries and chopped hazelnuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Greek yogurt is a one of those perennial healthy foods to eat for breakfast. Now let\u2019s kick it up a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis breakfast makes low fat dairy the star of the meal,\u201d says London. The yogurt and nuts are both rich in that necessary protein.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI use hazelnuts because they\u2019re delicious,\u201d London shares.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding berries provides fiber and a nice touch of sweetness. \u201cIf you want it a bit sweeter, you can drizzle on a little bit of honey or a small amount of another sweetener you enjoy,\u201d she says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best breakfast #3: Egg bites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably seen these teeny treats at your favorite chain coffee shop, but they\u2019re surprisingly easy to make at home, says nutritionist Kimberly Gomer. All you need is a mini-muffin tin and a bit of imagination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can make them savory with ingredients such as mushroom, onions, and Parmesan, or you can make them sweet by mixing in cottage cheese\u2014extra protein!\u2014cinnamon, and a little sweetener,\u201d she explains. \u201cYou can make them ahead of time, keep them in your fridge, and just heat them as you need them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering if eggs are a risky choice for heart health, since they\u2019ve traditionally been linked to high cholesterol? A 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2072-6643\/15\/12\/2657?trk=public_post_comment-text\">study<\/a> in the journal <em>Nutrients<\/em> found otherwise, noting that eggs are no longer viewed as a risk factor for high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers\u2019 conclusion: For groups with high nutrient requirements (which includes those on GLP-1), eggs provide high-quality protein along with key macronutrients. In addition, they said, eggs protect muscles against damage, promote a feeling of fullness, and fit in well with flexitarian and vegetarian diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best breakfast #4: Lunch stuff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey, there\u2019s no <em>Big Book of Unbreakable Breakfast Rules<\/em>! Many of our favorite midday choices double as healthy foods to eat for breakfast. And are fine ways to begin the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake a wrap with chicken salad, tuna salad, or egg salad, and add some veggies,\u201d says Gomer. It gives you all the protein of traditional breakfast foods, in a convenient, handheld form.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best breakfast #5: Avocado toast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t hopped on the avocado bandwagon yet, a few bites will convince you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAvocado has heart-healthy fats and fiber,\u201d London says. \u201cYou might want to start slowly with how much you use, however. It\u2019s higher in fat, which can cause gastric problems in people taking GLP-1.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can tolerate it, though, you\u2019ll be doing your body an incredible favor. A large 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36490225\/\">study<\/a> published in the journal <em>Cancer Prevention Research<\/em> found that eating more than one serving of avocado each week lowers the risk of lung, colorectal, and bladder cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put a couple of slices on top of whole-grain toast, and then finish it off with a scrambled or fried egg or two, and you\u2019re getting fiber, protein, and plenty of nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best breakfast #6: Cottage cheese on whole-grain toast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another pairing you may not have thought of before, but it delivers the one-two punch of protein and fiber. Plus, it\u2019s a satisfying combination of smoothness and crunch. Add some sliced tomato for more fiber and a bit of tang.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can even drizzle it with some olive oil and sea salt,\u201d London says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best breakfast #7: Turkey or chicken sausage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese have plenty of protein, but are much lighter than pork or beef sausage,\u201d says Gomer. \u201cThat\u2019s a nice, different taste for breakfast as well.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s fine to have them on their own (remember, the breakfast rulebook only exists in your head). But you can also have them with an egg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think a weight loss medication like GLP-1 might be right for you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reflexmd.com\/?question=gender\">chat<\/a> with a ReflexMD Wellness Advisor now.
