What kind of foods to choose for a perfect healthy breakfast?

Choosing a breakfast platter is not so easy especially while rushing to the college. Sometimes we feel like to have oily foods, sometimes we like to go with simple foods. The choice completely depends on our appetite.

But make sure not to fuel your body with these foods,

1. Foods with high calorie
2. Foods with high-fat content
3. Simple carb foods like white sugar, white bread
4. Processed foods

Rather choose nutritious foods which are a powerhouse of Vitamins, Minerals, and proteins.

Have a happy meal!! 🙂
