|  | From Fiona Haynes, your About Healthy Eating Editor We've all done it: grabbed a sugary doughnut and coffee for breakfast and then wondered why we felt lousy an hour or two later. Begin the day instead with a healthier, high-fiber breakfast that's low in fat and sugar. Our Guide to Dairy-Free Cooking has some great suggestions. | | Healthy, Dairy-Free Breakfasts Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but that's no excuse to load up on fatty, sugary foods. Here are some healthy breakfast options that just happen to be dairy-free. | Three Ways to Find Hidden Sugar in Your Diet Added sugars are a source of useless calories. Naturally occurring sugars, like those in fruit and milk, usually come packaged with other nutrients. But added sugar contributes calories and nothing else. If you're trying to lose weight, eliminating these non-essential calories is critical to your success. But learning to find sugar can be tricky. | Apple and Date Muffins Made with canola oil instead of butter, and with whole-wheat pastry flour for added fiber while still keeping them light, these wholesome apple and date muffins are much healthier for you than the store-bought variety. | What's in Season? We're becoming ever more conscious of eating fresh produce in season for best flavor and maximum nutrients. As fall is almost upon us, find out exactly what's in season so you can enjoy all manner of fruit and vegetables at their peak. | | | | Related Searches | | | | Featured Articles | | | | | | Sign up for more free newsletters on your favorite topics | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About.com Healthy Eating newsletter.
