Monday
A two-egg omelette with mushrooms and spinach provides a protein-rich start to the day. Eggs are one of the few "complete proteins" in that they contain all eight amino acids and the Australian Society of Nutrition recommends one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Bon appetit!

Tuesday
Expand your breakfast horizons with amaranth porridge. The Aztec grain, which boasts high levels of proteins and fibre, is perfect accompanied by cinnamon-stewed fruit. Cinnamon is clinically proven to stabilise blood-sugar levels and is the ideal answer to sugar cravings.

Wednesday
Treat your body to a double goodness whammy with quinoa flake cereal with apple, cinnamon and flaxseeds. The quinoa is incredibly high in protein while flaxseeds are a water-soluble fibre that keep you feeling full while lowering your blood pressure and cholesterol level.

Thursday
For a hearty breakfast, try scrambled tofu with tomatoes and fresh herbs. Not only is tofu a source of omega-3 fatty acids - essential for brain and heart health, as well as hormonal balance - it also contains phytoestrogens, which help fight the symptoms of menopause.

Friday
Start the last day of the working week with a low-GI breakfast of fetta and scrambled eggs. Low-GI carbohydrates release energy into your body more slowly than high-GI carbs and this keeps your energy levels consistent throughout the day. Say goodbye to that afternoon slump.

Saturday
Kick off the weekend with a breakfast of avocado, tomato and basil on crusty sourdough toast with a touch of balsamic. A tasty blend of anti-inflammatory omega-3s and low-GI for consistent energy release, this meal is so delicious you might want it for lunch too!

Sunday
Wholemeal spelt flour pancakes with fresh seasonal fruit and a dollop of natural yoghurt are a perfect weekend treat. Spelt is a source of niacin, which has been shown to help protect against cardiovascular disease. Spelt is also good for helping to lower cholesterol levels.

Breakfast Burritos
Craving Mexican food but not the fat and calories that accompany your favorite dish? These breakfast burritos are the perfect alternative. Use egg whites instead of regular eggs to cut back on fat and cholesterol and flavor as desired with salsa.

Eating a morning meal is a healthy habit if you're watching your weight. Research shows that regular breakfast eaters tend to be leaner and dieters are more successful at losing weight—and keeping it off—when they eat breakfast. What's more, people who typically eat breakfast also get more fiber (more on why this is important later), calcium, vitamins A and C, riboflavin, zinc and iron—and less fat and dietary cholesterol. Perhaps it's because they often eat cereal, which is fortified with vitamins and minerals, and fruit, which is naturally nutrient-rich.

Strawberry Parfaits
If you've got a sweet tooth when you roll out of bed, head straight for this low-fat strawberry parfait. Breakfast that tastes like dessert? That's our kind of morning!

1. Raspberries
A cup of raspberries delivers a whopping 8 grams of fiber (that's more than double what's in a cup of strawberries and about the same amount in a cup of some types of beans). What's so great about all that fiber? Recent research in the Journal of Nutrition suggests eating more fiber as a way to prevent weight gain or even encourage weight loss. Over the course of the two-year study, the researchers found that boosting fiber by 8 grams for every 1,000 calories resulted in about 4 ½ pounds of weight lost.

2. Oatmeal
Oatmeal can help you lose weight in two ways. First, it's packed with fiber and it keeps you feeling fuller longer. Second, a recent study in the Journal of Nutrition reported that eating a breakfast made with "slow-release" carbohydrates—such as oatmeal or bran cereal—3 hours before you exercise may help you burn more fat. How? Eating "slow-release" carbohydrates doesn't spike blood sugar as high as eating refined carbohydrates (think: white toast). In turn, insulin levels don't spike as high. Because insulin plays a role in signaling your body to store fat, having lower blood sugar levels may help you burn fat.

3. Yogurt
A recent report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and out of Harvard revealed which foods are correlated with weight change, including the top 5 foods that promote weight loss. Yogurt was one of them! (See more of the Best Foods for Weight Loss, and 5 Foods That Make You Gain, here.) Another reason to eat yogurt: the protein in it may give you an extra edge if you're looking to get leaner. When researchers fed two groups of mice a high-fat diet for 11 weeks, the mice that got water spiked with whey protein (a type of protein found naturally in yogurt and other dairy) packed on 42 percent less weight and nearly a third less body fat than the mice who just drank plain water, despite the fact that they ate roughly the same number of calories. The whey eaters also gained 7 percent more lean body mass (e.g., muscle mass). Save calories—and unnecessary sugar—by choosing plain yogurt. If you need a little extra sweetness, try fresh fruit (maybe raspberries?).

4. Peanut Butter
Nuts were also among the top 5 foods that Harvard researchers said promote weight loss. I love to slather a tablespoon or two of peanut butter onto whole-wheat toast (ahem, a "slow-release" carbohydrate), but you could also add nuts to your oatmeal (another "slow-release" carb).

5. Eggs
Eggs deliver protein, which is great for dieters. Compared to carbohydrates and fat, protein keeps you satisfied longer. Plus, in one study, dieters who ate eggs for breakfast felt fuller longer and lost more than twice as much weight as those who got the same amount of calories from a bagel for breakfast.

Two eggs scrambled in a pat of butter contain approximately 200 calories. So how does Denny's get from 200 to 1,150 with their Heartland Scramble? And how do so many other restaurants sling together scrambles with more than 1,000 calories? Simple: excessive oil and egregious amounts of cheese. This scramble has all the makings of hearty breakfast fare--butter, cheese, protein--but with healthy fats, fresh vegetables, and a light caloric toll. Serve it with a scoop of roasted potatoes and fresh fruit.
Ingredients

Serves:    SubmitPrep:  5min |Cook: 8min |Total: 13min 
              
1 tbsp butter
8 stalks asparagus, woody bottoms removed, chopped into 1" pieces
salt and black pepper to taste
8 eggs
2 tbsp fat-free milk
1/4 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese
4 oz smoked salmon, chopped
Directions

1.Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet or saute pan over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the asparagus and cook until just tender ("crisp-tender" in kitchen parlance). Season with salt and pepper.
2.Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk with the milk. Season with a few pinches of salt and pepper and add to the pan with the asparagus. Turn the heat down to low and use a wooden spoon to constantly stir and scrape the eggs until they begin to form soft curds. A minute before they're done, stir in the goat cheese.
3.Remove from the heat when the eggs are still creamy and soft (remember, scrambled eggs are like meat-- they continue to cook even after you cut the heat) and fold in the smoked salmon.
Recipe Tips
Spend the extra dollar or two to buy the highest quality eggs you can find. Free-range farmers' market eggs are best.
