Free Breakfast Menus for Dieters
Many foods which are on the breakfast menu are high in cholesterol and other fatty acids, but even so they can be a part of a healthy weight loss plan when consumed in moderation.

For example, eating several eggs throughout the day makes an unhealthy choice, particularly for those individuals who have natural high cholesterol issues.
Eggs are extreme in cholesterol values. So extreme that the current recommendation by the FDA is one per day - and this includes the amount used in other foods which are prepared for daily meals.
The concerns however reside with the yolk which holds the cholesterol values with the white being free of such. However, if you're watching your acidity levels the yolk is the healthier choice over the white. See how confusing nutrition can quickly become?
Healthier Choices vs Unhealthier Choices
You'll see in our breakfast menus below that we have included a variety of foods which can be consumed for the first meal of the day.

While some menus are healthier than others, we wanted to show that almost-all foods can be included in a healthy weight loss plan - yes, even your favorite morning toaster pastries, donuts and tarts.
The key to losing weight as well as in maintaining a healthy weight for your body has remained the same since the beginning of time: "Everything in moderation."
However, we must keep in mind that while we can indeed include all foods in our daily menus, some choices are healthier than others.
While they won't trigger weight gain as long as we use the amount of calories [energy] we consume throughout our day, the unhealthier food choiceswill contribute to our overall state of health. This applies to beverages, too.

#7, Biscuits & Gravy Plus Dieting Tips

Yes - you can even enjoy biscuits and gravy while losing weight! We often use gravy mix and use skim milk in place of water.
Although this isn't the healthiest breakfast on the planet, the skim milk and the grain from the biscuits do offer some nutritional benefits.
#8, Sir Omelet Recipe Prepared as Follows
Whisk together 2 egg whites and 1 egg yolk. Add salt, pepper and just a dash of skim milk. Prepare as you would an omelet adding the ingredients below before folding.
Saute the following using non-stick cooking spray, then add to omelet before folding:
1/2 cup of sliced mushroom - any variety
1 slice of skim mozzarella cheese (60 calories)
Enjoy with 1/2 cup of your favorite melon or 1/2 a grapefruit PLUS 1/2 cup of skim milk.
#9, Golden Egg Sandwich Recipe
Using cooking spray, 'pan-toast' one side of two slices of bread (70 calorie bread) and set to the side. You will fill the bread with the following:
1 egg - cooked with non-stick cooking spray until yolk is hard OR you can scramble the egg. Salt & pepper as desired. Enjoy with 1 cup of skim milk.
#10, Toaster Tarts, Healthy Milk & Fresh Fruit
One Toaster Tart of your choice (200 calories)
1 cup of skim milk
1/2 cup of fresh strawberries
No - toaster tarts isn't the healthiest breakfast choice, so try to limit this breakfast choice. The grain and fruit from the toast tart, the milk and the berries do provide an important dose of nutritional values.
