Why Breakfast is Awesome

Not that it needs an explanation, but in addition to being the most important meal of the day, breakfast - American style breakfast - has a lot of qualities to it that make it the most versatile meal of the day.

  • Breakfast can be made fancy and elaborate without getting expensive
  • Breakfast can be easily calorically modified
  • Since breakfast is at the beginning of the day, it's almost fair game to eat anything since you have the rest of the day to digest. 
  • Options get expanded massively when grouped into Brunch (though, this is a breakfast blog, so I'm avoiding brunch)
  • It's the cheapest meal of the day, at home, or at restaurants. 
  • If you're trying to better budget your money, focusing around breakfast over other meals can really aid savings growth over other meals
  • The patterns of American style breakfast are good at incorporating breakfast elements of other cultures.
  • It's one of the easiest meals to incorporate extra fruits & vegetables (emphasis on the fruits) into to get that daily five servings. 
  • American style breakfast is a very distinctive meal from lunch and dinner. 
  • Diet-wise, it's okay to eat sweets at the beginning of the day to cut the cravings for the rest of the day. 

Breakfast has it's charms. It can be the first dose of caffeine, distinctive sausage, or morning buns. Or maybe it's the thought that I can scrimp and still have a little bit of fanciness in my day.
