Healthy Meats To Eat For Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Unfortunately, sausage, ham and bacon can ruin your diet, which is definitely not a good way to start your day. Instead, try one of these healthier options.


Turkey


For the die-hard breakfast fans, most brands offer a turkey option for bacon and sausage. One serving of turkey bacon is approximately 30 percent lower in fat and calories than pork bacon.


Chicken








Thaw chicken tenders the night before you go to bed. In the morning, saute the chicken in a little olive oil, chop and toss into an omelet. This healthy option is surprisingly quick, easy and tasty.


Salmon


Often thought of as an indulgence, salmon is a great breakfast meat. The low-calorie, high-protein fish is low in saturated fat and packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.


Pork Loin


Many people shun pork, but pork loin is actually a healthy choice. One 4-oz. serving yields just 120 calories and just 2.5 g of fat. Chop up last night's leftovers into an omelet.


Eggs








You may not think of eggs as meat, but the United States Department of Agriculture does, because eggs are high in protein. Eat your eggs with a slice of toast and you won't have to worry about the added fat and calories of sausage or bacon.
