The best low calorie breakfast ideas
Starting a weight loss journey can be extremely hard, these low calorie breakfast ideas are guaranteed to make that jump a little bit easier!
Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it’s even more important when you’re on a weight loss journey. What you have for breakfast sets the tone for the rest of your day. I know that during my weight loss journey, if I had a good breakfast, I was set for the day and if I didn’t, I was more likely to eat terribly for the rest of the day.
That’s why I make low calorie versions of the recipes we know and love. That way, you’re satisfying a craving all while sticking to your calorie deficit! I know first hand how hard it can be to lose weight and after successfully losing (and keeping off) 40+kg, I’ve made it my mission to make it easier for everyone else!
