14 Worst Foods for Belly Fat

Breakfast-muffins

4. Breakfast muffins

When you pick up a breakfast muffin at a coffee shop, you may congratulate yourself for resisting the allure of glazed doughnuts.

Granted, this is a victory, and any step in the right direction is good. However, that step may not be as big as you think.

You should be aware that the average breakfast muffin contains around 500 calories and more than half your daily recommended intake of sugar.

If you are unaware of how much sugar you have eaten at breakfast, you will probably keep consuming sugary products all day, pushing yourself far over the healthy sugar limit.

Consumed on a regular basis, these muffins can start to make your jeans feel tight around the waist. The same is true of donuts, Danish pastries, toaster tarts and other sweet breakfast foods. They look small and it is easy to overeat them, but you should think of them as concentrated sugar pills and avoid them as much as possible.

Forget about Muffins – This is Perfect Breakfast for You!

To avoid packing on more belly fat, look for diet muffins, which tend to be less than 200 calories, or make yourself some homemade muesli using oats, fat free milk and dried fruit. Add a small amount of plain yogurt and leave in the refrigerator overnight for a delightful tartness, but use it moderately, since yogurt contains sugar and fats, too.
