If you're always in a rush in the morning, it can be easy to simply grab something and go, but there are a number of breakfast foods that probably shouldn't be eaten every day, predominantly due to their high sugar content.

Over on TikTok, Dr Poonam Desai has shared her top tips for what makes a healthy brekky.
"I'm Dr Desai and these are five unhealthy breakfast foods that we should avoid eating routinely in the morning," she told followers.
"The first is going to be pastries - pastries include things like croissants, chocolate croissants.
"Second is going to be breakfast cereals. Yes breakfast cereals. It's full of sugar usually so try to avoid breakfast cereals.
"Third is going to be granola. A lot of granola tends to have oil and sugar in it - again, little nutritional value and we don't want to be having that high of a sugar spike first thing in the morning."

One breakfast food that's often super high in calories is the Full English, but there are ways to cut the fat content.
One nutrition expert, Daniel Herman, has recently revealed what he thinks the most unnecessary element is.
The founder of Bio-Synergy told the Daily Express: "Breakfast is definitely my favourite meal, and a full English is a real treat, however it does have some drawbacks.
"Frying bread in butter adds a significant amount of saturated fat to the dish, which can result in an increased risk of heart disease and high cholesterol levels.
"Fried bread provides very few essential nutrients compared to whole grain bread or other healthier alternatives. It lacks fibre, vitamins, and minerals that are important for overall health."
