How to Burn Fat Quick with a Good Breakfast

Why burning fat is done best with a good breakfast

Est. Reading Time: 5 minutes

If you want an easy effective way to burn fat, then breakfast is the key. A hugely misunderstood concept is that skipping a meal is a good way to lose weight. This is wrong, and there are many studies out there that show that if you regularly eat a healthy breakfast, and combine this with better nutritional eating habits will weigh less than those who completely skip out breakfast.
So why is this, and what are the best ways to have a good breakfast and improve your rate of burning fat?


If you are trying to lose fat then your aim is to try and burn off more calories. The best way to do this is not to starve your body, but to increase your metabolism so you can burn more fat and calories throughout the day. When you sleep your body winds down and this includes the speed it burns calories. Your body needs something to kick start it in the morning. When you have a good breakfast you feel better and more active throughout the morning at work etc. Not only that but without this boost your metabolism will stay slow throughout the day and any extra calories you then eat later on will not be processed as quickly, so they will then be stored as fat. If you eat a healthy breakfast then your body "wakes up" its metabolism and is set for the day.
Ideally breakfast needs to be eaten within an hour of waking up. If you do not have the time, get up 10 minutes before and make time! Don't press that snooze button! Not only does this mean an extra 10 minutes doing something, spending time with family etc, but if you eat a high fibre and high protein meal your metabolism gets kicked into gear, whilst your brain activity switches on meaning more energy and alertness throughout the day for you. The more energy you have, the more fat you can burn as you are being more active.


So what can you eat to kick start your day and fat loss

CEREAL CEREAL CEREAL! Get a nice bowl of your favourite cereal. There are many high fibre low sugar cereals out there that taste great! You do not need to eat cardboard anymore to get the healthy option. Cereals are quick to prepare, yet are full of nutrients. They are a great choice for losing fat and eating healthily. Try to find cereals that have less than 8g of sugar and over 5g of fibre.



Fresh fruit is a great breakfast choice, whether on its own or with cereal. They have good sugars and fats which being whole foods make a lot of sense as a breakfast. Think of fruit like bananas which give you energy throughout the day!


Scrambled egg whites with wholemeal bread. Healthy, quick and tasty this is a favourite for the breakfast table. Tip, try spice it up with some hot sauce for an extra kick.
