Any breakfast is better than no breakfast, but try not to have doughnuts or pastries all the time. They're high in calories, sugar, and fat. They also don't contain the nutrients a kid really needs. And if you have a doughnut for breakfast, you won't feel full for long. Just like with other meals, try to eat a variety of foods, including:
* grains (breads and cereals)
* protein (meats, beans, and nuts)
* fruits and vegetables
* milk, cheese, and yogurt
Here are some breakfast ideas. First, the traditional ones:
* eggs
* French toast, waffles, or pancakes (try wheat or whole-grain varieties)
* cold cereal and milk
* hot cereal, such as oatmeal or cream of wheat (try some dried fruit or nuts on top)
* whole-grain toast, bagel, or English muffin with cheese
* yogurt with fruit or nuts
* fruit smoothie, such as a strawberry smoothie
And now some weird (but yummy) ones:
* banana dog (peanut butter, a banana, and raisins in a long whole-grain bun)
* breakfast taco (shredded cheese on a tortilla, folded in half and microwaved; top with salsa)
* country cottage cheese (apple butter mixed with cottage cheese)
* fruit and cream cheese sandwich (use strawberries or other fresh fruit)
* sandwich - grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, or another favorite
* leftovers (they're not just for dinner anymore!)
Skipping Breakfast
Some kids skip breakfast because they sleep too late or because they think it's a way to stay thin. But skipping breakfast doesn't help people maintain a healthy weight. In fact, someone who skips breakfast tends to eat more calories throughout the day.
If you find yourself skipping breakfast because you're too rushed, try these quick breakfasts. They're easy to grab on the way out the door or can be prepared the night before:
* single servings of whole-grain, low-sugar cereal
* yogurt
* fresh fruit
* whole-grain muffin
* trail mix of nuts, dried fruits, pretzels, crackers, and dry cereal

Try a great Cereal I use made by KASHI. It the Golean cereal. Its high in protein, all whole grain, with fiber. Try all of them and see which one is your favorite. I like the Golean crunch.

Specifics don't matter when it comes to breakfast. All you need to do is make sure you have mostly carbs., some protein, fat, and sodium. Balance it out, but carbs are the most important.
