Salman's breakfast — baasi rotis? Really? Some breakfast tips

Back in 2013, the Times of India wrote that Salman's favorite breakfast was baasi roti and chai…

While ifood.tv wrote that his favorite breakfast was a protein shake, oats and eggs…

And Healthy Celeb also said Salman eats a breakfast of egg whites and protein shakes…

Hard to know what Salman is actually eating for breakfast — unless he says something himself!

What we do know is this:

• Don't make skipping breakfast a habit. It's the meal that breaks the overnight fast and fuels the start of the day. Observational studies have linked skipping breakfast with eating more later in the day — though the cause-and-effect is far from settled.
• Lean on whole grains and complex carbohydrates. Oats, whole wheat, millets — these give the body steady energy to start the day. It's worth minimizing refined white carbs.
• Include protein and vegetables. An ideal breakfast could include oatmeal, eggs, nuts, and veggies. Make a veggie omelet, or an oats upma — and don't skimp on nuts, especially walnuts in the morning.
• Eat within a couple of hours of waking. You don't need to panic about "starvation mode" — that's largely a myth — but a timely morning meal sets a good rhythm for the day.
• Water. Don't forget water — drink up through the morning. Good hydration supports the skin, the gut, and everything in between.
