Researchers have proven that subjects who consume their morning meal daily tend to look slimmer and can effortlessly attain their weight loss target. Apart from losing weight from dieting, one can keep it off by taking breakfast regularly. Moreover, people taking morning meals tend to receive sufficient number of riboflavin, vitamins A and C, nutrients, calcium, iron, fiber, and zinc. Consumption of breakfast cereal is effective in managing fat content in the system.

Slow release carbs include oatmeal or bran cereal and they are advised to be taken 2 to 3 hours before pre-workout session. The "slow-release" carbohydrates do not increase blood sugar levels as high as refined carbohydrates. In addition, the surge of insulin levels can be prevented as it promotes fat accumulation, while decreased blood glucose levels can burn excess fat. One should prefer taking 1 serving of (rolled or steel cut oats) oatmeal along with either a dried fruit touch of honey or applesauce or brown sugar for little sweetness.
