Worst Breakfast Foods: 12 Things to Avoid and Tips to Improve your Meals!

9. Breakfast Pastry (on it’s own)

Don’t get me wrong here. I love pastries. I love me a chocolate croissant. Heck, I even like a chocolate pop-tart every now and then. But again, it’s not balanced and depending on your nutrition goals, may not be a good option for your breakfast.

If you are craving a pastry for breakfast, try pairing it with sources of protein and fiber to round out the meal. A chocolate croissant alongside some veggie frittata? Sign me up.

Breakfast pastries make a great fun food, but opt for a complex carb as part of a balanced breakfast.

10. Candy Bars

A candy bar doesn’t make a meal. Candy is a wonderful, fun food and can certainly be enjoyed. But it’s not a breakfast. Grab a protein bar or protein shake if you need something super portable, but most convenience stores are now offering a variety of options, like boiled eggs, cut fruit, and yogurt!

Take a look around the store next time you stop in.
