Menu Planning/Menu contents/Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for many people, because it gives the carbohydrates needed for energy throughout the day; thus, it should ideally be the largest. Included in it should be a grain, fruit, meat, dairy product, and a starch. Simple breakfasts (as with donuts and coffee or a slice of toast, etc.) are not suitable for long-term fueling.

A traditional Western breakfast might include:
 * Pancakes or waffles
 * Grits, oatmeal, or other cereals
 * Biscuits and gravy
 * Cinnamon rolls
 * Burritos (egg, sausage, cheese, optional chopped onions and green peppers, etc.)
 * A variety of fruit juices or milk
