Breakfast of Champions

A nutritious, well-balanced meal (and a strong cup of coffee) is a surefire way to start your day. Sometimes, though, it seems worthwhile to skip a homemade breakfast (even if it’s just a bowl of cereal) and grab something en route in order to squeeze in an extra 10 minutes of sleep. But what if the foods you’re choosing on the go are actually making you more sluggish – and adding hundreds of extra calories to your daily intake before you even reach your cubicle?

Here are the top 20 contenders for the worst breakfasts in America. Consider this your blacklist of breakfasts. Memorize these items. Write them down, if you must. And do not, under any circumstances, give in to the temptation to order them when they stare up at you, oh-so-tauntingly, from a fast-food menu.

Making healthy choices is tough, especially when you’re groggy and battling rush hour traffic. These breakfasts might seem harmless (some of them look so sweet!), but revealing the evil behind these tantalizing options will help you realize how dangerous they can be. Stick to the recommended alternatives and you’ll have a light, heart-friendly start to the day. And remember, being healthy is hot!
