If you’re like most people in the population, you eat pizza a few times a month. However, you have probably not considered it for breakfast, unless you’re grabbing a cold leftover slice. Here are a few reasons you should each a piece or two in the morning to start your day. 

Why Pizza Is an Excellent Breakfast Option

1. Good Source of Carbohydrates

To many people in the throes of a diet, carbohydrates are often on their naughty list. However, carbs are a good source of energy and a smart way to get you going in the morning hours. Pizza has an excellent balance of carbohydrates which will produce glucose without filling the body with extra sugars that will make you feel weighted down or cause you to crash by lunchtime.

2. Provides Needed Protein

Eating a meaty pizza in the morning provides you with both carbohydrates and protein. Mixing the two will slow down the blood sugar response in the body and prevent insulin levels from getting too high too quickly, which can cause you to crash right away. The early dose of protein also gives your body enough nutrients to make up the loss that occurs to the muscle tissue throughout the day.

3. Can Be Anything

The ingredients you choose for a pizza can make it a healthy choice for breakfast. Many pizzerias are even making crusts gluten-free with alternative flours made from beetroot, spinach, or other vegetables. Some even create pies that resemble a traditional breakfast with eggs, bacon, and other morning favorites.
