15 Foods to Avoid Eating in the Morning

4. Muffins and pastries

Having muffins or pastries for breakfast is akin to eating cake in the morning. Even "healthy" muffins can be high in sugar, especially those with chocolate or minimal fruit. Opt for fruit-based muffins sparingly, and remember that most pastries are loaded with saturated fats. Savory muffins with vegetables and less sugar are better options, but pastries should be reserved for occasional indulgence.
