Stick more with legumes, whole grains, and fruits where you eat the WHOLE fruit - including the skin. As far as what breakfast is "better" for you, my suggestion is to let your body tell you what you need! Learn to listen to what your body is telling you. I would suggest that you do a daily journal for 30 days. Write down what you eat, then an hour after the meal, make a note of how you are feeling. Are you energized? Or are you experiencing brain fog, bloating, body aches, etc? This will help you identify the foods that are working best for YOU.

I'm 5'1" and weight 107-108. I'm pre-diabetic and am afraid of carbs. I love fruit. what is a good breakfast before I use the treadmill or elliptical. I am a moderate workout person. Where does the protein I need in oatmeal? I do use sliced almonds and blueberries on top of my oatmeal and sprinkle flax seeds on top. I do not use milk as I am lactose intolerant.. I eat egg whites or two egg whites and one egg yolk at times with melted yogurt cheese on top. Which breakfast would be better before working out? I’m 71 yrs old and do not need to lose weight.
