Anne-Laure Laratte presents her recipe: “cThis morning I made myself two scrambled eggs with a little butter, for me it’s enough. Two tomatoes and homemade vinaigrette, which you can replace with a bowl of fruit. I also take a piece of bread for carbohydrates, it gives energy. And finally, a little cheese to eat on my bread. » Proteins, carbohydrates and fiber, enough to start the day well, according to the expert.
“ If you are vegetarian, you can replace the eggs with scrambled tofu and the butter with margarine. If you prefer to eat sweet, you can put jam on your bread and have a little dairy product to break up the sweet side and for its proteins, which maintain satiety all day long. », specifies Anne-Laure Laratte.
For the two nutritionists, the most important thing when it comes to breakfast is to spend “ a pleasant moment » and therefore choose balanced foods that you like.
