4. Muffins and pastries

Advertisement
Having muffins or pastries for breakfast is similar to eating cake in the morning. Even "healthy" muffins can be loaded with sugar, especially those with chocolate or little fruit. Choose fruit-based muffins sparingly, and remember most pastries are high in saturated fats. Savory muffins with vegetables and less sugar are better, but pastries should be an occasional treat.
