Breakfast, despite the fact it is often called the most important meal of the day, is also the one that is most commonly abused or neglected. It is the first meal of the day, and the meal that breaks the fast of the night.
There are many different dishes around the world that are eaten at breakfast, or considered to be breakfast food. It can be a good idea to choose a healthy breakfast, rather than some of the alternatives - the Full English, and its alternatives such as the Full Irish, are hot and definitely filling but are also quite heavy on the calories. The breakfast type known as the Continental tends to be lighter, and consists of fruit juices and breads or pastries, sometimes accompanied by cooked meats and cheeses.
Breakfast cereals, especially whole grain ones, can be a healthy dish to have, but many of them are so heavily laden with sugar that any health benefits are completely lost. Toast, topped with marmalade or other preserves, or honey, is also a popular breakfast dish.
Recent years have seen a rise in the number of breakfast cereal bars and biscuits (cookies) which purport to have all the benefits of a cereal, but in an easily prepared and consumed snack.
