Tamannaah Bhatia's fitness trainer explains how to upgrade your plain breakfast bread toast into something healthy

Make your breakfast healthier and aid in appetite control by eating a well-balanced bread toast which is not nutritionally deficit.

Quick bread toast may be convenient for breakfast, but it is nutritionally shallow and not enough to keep satiated for long. By afternoon, you would find yourself itching to order something online. Your plain toast clearly needs a dense nutritional upgrade, one that can turn the simplest breakfast into a more balanced and satisfying meal.

Celebrity fitness trainer Siddhartha Singh, who has worked with Bollywood actors like Tamannah Bhatia, called bread toast ‘the worst breakfast you can have’ in an April 23 Instagram post, revealing how to make everyday meals healthier without giving them up entirely.

How to balance? In two easy steps, you can make your regular toast more balanced, with all key macronutrients- fat, protein and carbohydrates all balanced as they should be.

1. Add cheese

Contrary to popular belief, you can actually include cheese in a healthy weight loss diet. The trainer suggested adding two slices of cheese, saying, "We have now added 8 grams of protein and also some healthy fat to sukha sadha toast.” Here, cheese helps fill the gap of missing fats while also boosting protein, adding some nutritional variation to an otherwise plain and carb-heavy toast.

2. Tomatoes

For roughage, or in other words, fibre, the trainer advised ripe tomatoes. With that, your meal is ready, containing everything: fibre-filled tomatoes, cheese rich in healthy fats and protein, all on a base of a carb-heavy bread. To further increase the protein content of your regular bread, the trainer also recommended adding Greek yoghurt, which often tops his recommendations around 100-200 grams.

To upgrade your nutritionally shallow bread toast, all you need are 2-3 ingredients. It will also help to lower mid-morning cravings, while also supporting better weight management as you don't give in to snacking when you are satiated, and appetite control begins with a well-balanced breakfast. To eat healthy, you do not need dramatic overhauls to your existing meals; you can give them a compelling nutritional upgrade by adding the correct, easily available ingredients for all the missing nutrients.
