Better Breakfast Day Hero

Adelle Davis

Adelle Davis (1904–1974) was an American nutritionist and author who championed the importance of healthy eating, particularly breakfast. Her books, such as 'Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit,' advocated for whole foods and proper nutrient intake, significantly influencing public perception of diet and well-being in the mid-20th century. Davis's work helped popularize the idea that what you eat, especially at the start of your day, profoundly impacts health and energy.

Better Breakfast Day timeline

Early 1900s

Family farms

Need a couple of eggs? Head no further than the backyard. Egg "farms" typically supply enough eggs for the family — plus a few extras to sell at the local farmers' market. Eventually flocks grow to around 400 hens who live outdoors with a coop for roosting.

1930s

Hens move indoors

This landmark change brings lots of improvements. Specialized henhouses result in much healthier birds. Better feeding practices also improves egg productivity. Farmers' profits increase.

1940s

Henhouses improve

California hens produce about 250 eggs per year, while mortality rates drop. Based on this, more farms across the country build new facilities which prove beneficial for everyone.

1950s

Automation

Egg farmers need better machines to handle the increased output. Conveyor belts emerge to quickly collect the eggs and carry them to the washers. Eventually labor costs fall as the nutritional quality of eggs rises.

2019

Eggs and your health

Texas Tech researchers reveal that for healthy human beings, "There's no limitation on egg consumption. Eggs are a good source of protein that can be easily added to a person's meal." Results also show that eating eggs does not equal higher saturated-fat intake, although different preparation methods — such as frying in butter — would make a difference.

How Businesses Can Celebrate Better Breakfast Day

Local cafes and restaurants can create special ‘Better Breakfast’ menus featuring nutrient-dense options like avocado toast, smoothie bowls, and egg white omelets. Grocery stores can host sampling events for healthy breakfast products and offer discounts on fresh produce, whole grains, and lean proteins. Nutritionists and wellness coaches can offer free webinars or workshops on meal prepping healthy breakfasts, providing actionable tips for busy individuals. Encourage customer engagement by running a ‘Share Your Better Breakfast’ photo contest with gift card prizes.

How many Americans skip breakfast?

While estimates vary, roughly 10-25% of American adults regularly skip breakfast, often due to time constraints or a lack of appetite in the morning. However, awareness campaigns for healthy eating continue to highlight its benefits.

What makes a breakfast 'better'?

A ‘better’ breakfast typically includes a balance of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy without a sugar crash. Think whole grains, lean proteins like eggs or yogurt, and plenty of fruits and vegetables.

3 Ways to Celebrate Better Breakfast Day

See a nutritionist
Too expensive? Remember, lower medical bills can quickly outweigh the cost. Plus, nutritionists can come up with a personalized plan for you. If not, you can always do your own research about which breakfast foods are right for your diet and situation.
Skip the sugar
Three Bridges Egg Bites bring a wholesomeness back to breakfast. Take a pass on the supermarket breakfast aisle (and those protein bars) and switch to a Three Bridges breakfast — high in protein while low in sugars and carbs.
Read the labels
No excuses. Labels have all the information you need to make healthy decisions. Take some time on Better Breakfast Day to really discover what you're choosing to eat.

4 Healthy Breakfast Drinks That Aren't Orange Juice

Low-fat dairy
Examples include milk, plain (or low-sugar) yogurt, as well as low-fat cheeses, such as cottage cheese. Or ditch the dairy altogether and go with almond, rice, or soy milk.
Mango smoothie
Vitamin A, vitamin C, and fiber! Tastes amazing too. Check out this recipe from the food experts at Real Simple.
Kefir
Never heard of kefir? It's a fermented milk drink, cultured from kefir grains. Kefir's also a rich source of calcium, protein and B vitamins. The drink also contains up to 61 different microorganisms, making it a potent source of probiotics. Just tell yourself it's a milkshake!
Green tea
Make it a smoothie! The experts over at mindbodygreen recommend combining spinach, lemon juice, avocados, bananas, blueberries, and a pinch of sea salt.
