The right food for breakfast will ensure that you are energised all day and that you don't overeat at other meal times.

Greek yogurt is not only creamy, it is delicious, nourishing and filling. The yogurt has a lot of protein which is shown by research to reduce feelings of hunger.
Yogurt also has a higher increase in metabolic rate than fats and carbs.
Greek yogurt is a good source of probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium, which help your digestive system stay healthy.
For better and healthier results, top off your yogurt with diced fruits or nuts.

2. Eggs:
Eggs are delicious, healthy and great sources of protein. According to studies, eggs consumption in the morning increases feelings of being full, reducing portions at subsequent meals.
Eggs help to maintain a healthy blood sugar and insulin level.
Egg yolks contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin which help prevent several eye disorders.
3. Oats:

Oatmeal is the best cereal to have for breakfast. Oatmeal is made from ground oats, which contain a special type of fiber called beta-glucan. Beta-glucan has several health benefits, one of which is reduced cholesterol.
Like the previously mentioned foods, the beta-glucan fibre in oats gives feelings of fullness.
Oats contain antioxidants that protect the fatty acid content from becoming rancid and also decrease blood pressure.
Oats also contain protein and could be prepared with milk for optimum nutritional benefits.
