Now, let’s take a look at some usual culprits lurking around the breakfast table!

Standard Supermarket Scotch Pancakes

Many supermarkets offer up their own scotch pancakes. Before you’ve added any sauces, butter, syrups and extras, here’s what a serving of 4 of these looks like:

• Only 6g protein
• 308 calories
• 7g fat
• A huge 55g carbs
• Just 1.5g fiber

They may not seem as bad as you were expecting, however that lack of fiber and high carbohydrate content will likely cause your blood sugar levels to rise and is unlikely to keep you full throughout the morning.

Buttery Toast

It might be a simple, speedy option to start your day, but it’s certainly not the healthiest. Two slices of think, white buttered toast offers up a substantial amount more fat and carbs than an Exante breakfast and is unlikely to keep you full until lunchtime!

• 8g protein
• 290 calories
• 11g fat
• 40g carbs
• 3g fibre

Sugary Cereals

Many people opt for a portion of yoghurt, fruit and granola as a healthy option to start their day. However, there are more often than not lots of hidden sugars and carbs that people are unaware of and quickly their ‘healthy’ brekkie ends up costing them more calories than they bargained for. So what’s in your supermarket vanilla yoghurt and granola?

• 10.9 protein
• 351 calories
• 12g fat
• 47.7g carbs
• 4g fibre
