If you?re like most people, you don?t have much time to make breakfast in the morning after hitting the snooze button a couple times and racing through a shower.

But breakfast is the most important meal of the deal because it jump starts your metabolism, replenishes a body that has been devoid of food for 7-8 hours (you are getting between 7-8 hours of sleep every night right??), and keeps your brain focused on getting to work and not the hunger pangs.

Below is a guideline from Men?s Fitness.com to eating a healthy breakfast whether you?re eating at home, on the go or have zero time to waste.
