that wear out. Italians love a sweet breakfast, even though 1-2% prefer a savory breakfast. A healthy, balanced and complete breakfast must provide us with all the nutrients we need after a long night fast, in the right percentage and of high quality.An adequate breakfast must ensure an energy intake between 15 and 25% of the daily energy. It must also give a sense of satiety such as to avoid between meals and keep blood sugar under control. A salty breakfast can be defined as healthy if it respects these parameters.

Composed in this way, the sweet breakfast can be unbalanced towards carbohydrates or towards fats:
- Too many carbohydrates induce a postprandial glycemic spike resulting in low blood sugar and a feeling of hunger after a few hours.
- the habitual consumption of a breakfast with a high glycemic index determines a greater risk of metabolic syndrome due to the effects on glycaemia and the stimulation of insulin secretion.
- If it is rich in lipids (40% of calories) in normal weight subjects it causes a worsening of the postprandial inflammatory state.
Should we give up our habits or can we simply improve the type of food?
