You know how I feel about breakfast. It really is the most important meal of the day because it jump starts your metabolism and feeds your brain so you're more productive during the day. It helps people maintain their weight and eating breakfast gives you energy to exercise later in the day.

Chili's is one of those chain restaurants that I'm sure we've all been to at least once. This bar and grill has just about everything from wings to soup, from fajitas to steak. With such a diverse menu, it's nice to see there are some healthier options to choose from like salmon, grilled chicken, and salads.

We all try so hard to keep to a healthy diet, but sometimes we may be trying so hard that we don't realize we are doing more harm than good. To keep us on top of things, WebMD has created a list of the top diet busting foods (and I have elaborated):
- Soups: Stay away from cream based soups and stick to low calorie soups that are broth based.
- Sugar-Free Cookies: No Sugar does not mean no calories or that it's good for you.
- Pork: Stick to tenderloin and sirloin if you need the other white meat.
- Coffee: Orange Frappuccino - Need I say more?
- Salad Dressings: Get dressing on the side or water it down and check out my nutritional breakdown on popular dressings.
- Breakfast Bars: Watch out for high fructose corn syrups.
- Dried Fruits and Granola: A handful of both is OK, with more than that you'll be adding more calories and fat.
