Eating breakfast regularly is one of the keys to successful weight loss, according to studies published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. But for many people, mornings are the most hectic time of the day and there is no time to make or find smart breakfast options.

When rushing to get to where they need to be in the morning, people tend to make stops at fast-food restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores for quick, on-the-go foods. However, if you’re trying to lose weight, these options can derail your progress.
