Start your day with a delicious, healthy breakfast such as high-protein eggs, garlic bread toast, oatmeal, or a nutritious smoothie.
Even though pre-packaged breakfast foods tempt us at the supermarket, you won't exactly feel full and energized till your lunch break if you eat those sugary cereals, frozen waffles, and bagels. A balanced, healthy breakfast should include:
- Complex carbohydrates like whole grain bread, or oats and fruit.
- A good source of protein, like nuts, eggs, or yoghurt.
- A source of healthy fats (like seeds, avocado, or nuts).

Experts say you're not drinking too much coffee or tea if you limit your daily caffeine intake to 500 milligrams. Between 95 and 200 milligrams of caffeine are present in an 8-ounce cup of freshly brewed coffee, and 24 to 40 milligrams are present in an equivalent cup of green tea.
