Breakfast
Skip it Bacon and eggs
461 calories, 35.4 grams fat per 4 strips bacon, 3-egg omelet
Scarf it Dig in to a big breakfast without blowing your diet with two slices of bacon, two small whole-grain pancakes and 2 tablespoons syrup (364 calories, 12.4 g fat). Have ham for an even leaner meal: A 2-ounce slice has 46 calories and 2.4 g fat.

Skip it Chocolate cream-filled doughnut
307 calories, 20.8 g fat
Scarf it If you can’t enjoy a cup of joe without dunking a sticky pastry into it, choose a plain glazed doughnut (239 calories, 11.5 g fat). You’ll bypass the fat and calories lurking in iced and cream-filled varieties. Sugar doughnuts (raised, not cake) are also OK (205 calories, 11 g fat).

Skip it Sugary cereal
142 calories, 14 g sugar per 1 cup
Scarf it Starting your day with cereal is a prime opportunity to get lots of nutrition for very few calories. Look for boxes with at least 3 g fiber and less than 8 g sugar per serving, such as Cheerios (110 calories, 1.2 g sugar). Top your bowlful with fruit to add sweetness.

Skip it Cream cheese
102 calories, 10 g fat per 2 tbsp
Scarf it If regular cream cheese is coating your bagel, it’s also clogging your arteries with 6 g saturated fat. Try a 2-tbsp schmear of whipped cream cheese (70 calories, 7 g fat). It’s a less-dense version of the conventional kind, so it tastes as rich for fewer calories and less fat.
