I earlier posted a piece on 'Foods I eat for breakfast' but I think it's time to revisit this one and share with you another option as I've changed what I eat as my breakfast staple.
So here's what I've ben sticking to eating for breakfast...

WEETABIX! Yes- that's right. I've been having this for my breakfast everyday in the last month and I've noticed that my body appears to bloat less and I have more energy throughout the day. Now most breakfast cereals typically aren't a good source in providing sustained energy and often contain lots of refined ingredients and sugar, but the nutritional content of Weetabix is on the other hand not too bad. It has a low sugar content, it's high in fibre and B vitamins, easy to portion control. They come in rectangular pieces so I simple eat two with full-fat milk [I can explain why I opt for full-fat milk over skimmed milk in a future post. If you're interested, please let me know in the comments below or comment on my @fitnnhealthyinhk Instagram so I know :)]. Made from 100% wholegrain, Weetabix ticks the mix in providing me with the energy to last and power through the morning before I have my mid-morning snack of roasted almonds.
For those who have never tried it before, it can be a little bland (what I like to call it rabbit food) so I enjoy mine with slices of half a banana and a sprinkle of cinnamon like this (see image below).

It can be extremely dry so I like to break the two pieces that I have (about 100 calories each) into super small pieces and make sure all the milk soaks into the Weetabix pieces to turn into constituency like oatmeal. At first it took me a while to adjust to this break but but as an active gym goer I'm almost hungry all the time, I needed to find something that was going to satiate my hunger levels until mid-morning when I have my roasted almonds for my snack (#fitfamproblems). I've noticed it's doing a better job at keeping me full in comparison to my usual greek yoghurt and fruits breakfast despite having less protein funnily enough but my digestive system is feeling bit better (less blating, flatter stomach) having this breakfast and I've acclimated to the taste of it and have starting to love it so I think I'll stick to this for the time being.
If you ever get to try this out, let me know what you think. :)
