The Ideal Breakfast Composition Revealed

The first meal of the day should be balanced in protein, fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats — a perfect example of such a breakfast is a combination of natural meat, whole-grain bread, and vegetables. This was stated by nutritionists Antonio Andújar and Boticaria García in an interview with Hola magazine.

If animal protein is included in the diet, García recommends choosing natural meat over ultra-processed products like sausages and bacon.

“This could be grilled or baked chicken breast or turkey. Traditional types of prosciutto (dry-cured ham) and cured tenderloin are also acceptable in moderation, as long as they don’t contain additives such as starch, sugar, or nitrites,” the expert explained.

Dr. Andújar, in turn, advises pairing the meat with whole-grain sourdough bread, which is rich in fiber. As a complement, he recommends olive oil and fresh tomatoes — both are sources of antioxidants and provide a pleasant contrast in flavor.

The nutritionist also emphasized the importance of including fruits, which supply essential vitamins and minerals. To finish off the breakfast, he suggests a cup of coffee with milk or another beverage of your choice.
