The weather’s insufferably fickle this early spring, which means cold and hot breakfasts are still in order. But not the stick-to-your-bones kind of hot breakfasts that winter called for; spring–even when it’s 40 degrees and cold showering — demands a little bit lighter fare.

Today is Waffle Day, a fantastic tradition that involves — well, eating delicious waffles, of course! But you don’t need to stick around with frosty old Eggos or other store bought frozen circles; instead, we have compiled a whole list of what other sorts of waffles you can enjoy tonight, tomorrow or next weekend. More
Who doesn’t love waffles, right? Especially on a cold winter morning. They are tasty, filling and simply delicious! The problem is, waffles can be pretty unhealthy (think: butter, sugar, white flour, syrup).

What’s better on a cold morning than a nice warm bowl of oatmeal, right? How about a healthier version of one of our favorite comfort foods? While the oats themselves are a good choice of complex carbohydrates, the flavored oatmeals and the toppings we add can turn a nutritious breakfast into a not-so-nutritious one. That’s because some instant oatmeals are loaded with sugar and salt. Other times, we are tempted to add our own brown sugar or syrup to sweeten up the pot. A little is OK, of course, but we have some other ways to make a healthier bowl of oatmeal tomorrow morning.

On his quest to get New York City residents skinny, Mayor Bloomberg is once again saying, no more food for you. This time it’s to low-income kids who he wants to prevent from eating too much breakfast at school–because, you know, fat kids are more of a concern than hungry ones. More
I am not a weight loss expert. I’m not a nutritionist. And I’m certainly not one to be doling out advice on the best ways to drop a couple pounds. But I do have one quality that makes me feel qualified to question new research out of Tel Aviv University. Logic. More
I’ve had a serious problem with breakfast lately: I feel my best when I eat one high in protein, but I’m sick to death of eggs. I know I’m not the only one; I’ve talked to women in my office who feel the same, and even noticed fitness model Jamie Eason complaining of the same thing on her Facebook page earlier this week. But it’s not an easy one to solve; most other breakfast foods come with a hefty serving of carbohydrates, or involve eating a lot of meat which, let’s just say, isn’t for everyone. More
Yesterday, we wrote about Rich Roll—the author of Finding Ultra (which was released today) who went from unhappy and overweight to competing in endurance events that most people would never dream of. But when we asked him how he made the change, he said the thing that put his transformation into motion was really switching to a plant-based, vegan diet More
Most of you probably know that soda contains sugar; there are plenty of astounding PSAs and photos drive home the point. But a lot of us frequently dine on foods that we think of as “healthy” that can be just as much of a sugar bomb, if not more. Case in point: breakfast. Even if you steer clear of donuts and pastries that are full of sugar (duh), and make what you think are pretty smart choices, many breakfast foods contain a load of sugar you didn’t know you were in for.

In the last few years, there’s been a lot of attention paid to school lunches, which many low-income kids rely on to get adequate nutrition, and to learn healthy habits that will help them in their adult lives. But there’s been a lot less focus on “the most important meal of the day”–despite the fact that, nationwide, 11.7 million kids eat breakfast at school every day. Growing up, I was one of them, and I can tell you that most days, school breakfast consisted of donuts or sugary cereal. This week is National School Breakfast Week, which makes it a perfect time to talk about the misinformation and huge nutrition gap that’s facing the first meal. More
Dessert lovers, rejoice! According to a new study, eating cake, chocolate or cookies with our breakfast can help us lose weight. Something about feeling fuller, satisfying cravings, blah, blah, blah…all we know is that they had us at dessert. But is this too good to be true? More
As the battle to point the finger at someone for our nation’s childhood obesity epidemic continues, one top New York City Department of Health official now says that the free breakfast program in city schools is to blame. It’s what she says is causing poor kids to get fat, but in reality, she couldn’t be more wrong–or more insensitive.

That tray of breakfast tricked you, didn’t it? What looks like eggs, bacon, toast, baked beans and blood sausage is, in fact, just dessert disguised as breakfast. Which, sadly, is a much more impressive disguise than food companies and restaurants have been giving their desserts-served-before-noon for the past few decades. More
