Left over for breakfast?!

I was reading an article whose author reckons that "Americans need to think outside of the cereal box" in relation to breakfast.

I liked the simile, and went on reading the article. According to her:

Breakfast doesn't have to be about oatmeal, pancakes and muffins to be nutritious - it can be pizza, burritos and left-over casserole. You just want to get some energy into your body and you want it to be fairly nourishing.

One thing that concerns me about this approach is that there are certain foods that switch off your fat burning mechanism, and certain left overs like pizza do just that.

Yes, you will get a lot of energy from such foods. But the question is whether it is energy of gradual and sustained release (in which case, it last longer), or whether it supplies an instant energy boost.

Sugar does just that. It picks you up really high, but it drops you very quickly.

Smoothies, on the other hand, tend to give you a sustained energy boost (provided you don't use sugar to sweeten it). Check these delicious low fat smoothies recipe here.
