1. Oatmeal with fruits, nuts, and seeds
No matter what your personal health goals are, oatmeal is one of the healthiest breakfasts you can eat. "Oats are a wonderful source of dietary fiber and help you stay full longer. You can make your oatmeal as nutrient-dense as you like through the ingredients you choose to top it with. Adding nuts will help raise the protein content, which can also help you feel satisfied longer. Protein also helps build muscle and get rid of fat around the belly area. Blueberries and flaxseed will give you natural sweetness. Flaxseed is high in omega-3 and could help stabilize your blood sugar levels. And, blueberries are high in antioxidants, which can help your skin look and feel better," says Courtney D'Angelo, MS, RD, author at Go Wellness.

2. Eggs or a veggie omeletomelet
Eggs are an amazing source of protein, and many dietitians suggest using eggs to make an omelet so you can pack in a ton of other nutrient-dense ingredients! "A veggie-packed omelet is a great breakfast option for weight loss and anti-aging benefits. They are loaded with healthy fats and antioxidant-rich produce that will directly fight inflammation, are low in calories for weight loss, and rich in nutrients that fight aging. They are also an easy and tasty way to get lean protein and vegetables, which can help with weight loss efforts. The protein from the eggs and fiber from the vegetables will help keep you feeling full for longer periods of time which will offset your hunger and overeating throughout the day," says Trista Best, MPH, RD, LD at Balance One Supplements.
3. Nuts or nut butters
Whether you're topping off a bowl of oatmeal with almonds, adding peanut butter to your yogurt bowl, or spreading some almond butter on top of a piece of whole-grain toast, nuts and nut butters can contribute to healthy aging and weight loss. "Nuts are packed with protein and healthy fats. Several studies have shown that nuts help people to lose and maintain weight loss. This may be related to the satiety they produce. Satiety is the feeling of being full, yet also satisfied. Nuts also have an anti-aging effect. They have been linked to a decreased risk of mortality from heart disease," says Kathryn Piper, RDN, LD, NBC-HWC. "Just be mindful of your portion size. A serving of nuts is about 1/4 cup, while a nut butter's serving size is 2 tablespoons."
