Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially when you are trying to lose weight. This morning meal helps regulate your metabolism throughout the day, so that you’ll digest every meal faster and feel energized for longer. It is essential to eat healthy foods for breakfast to set a good, nutritious trend for the rest of your day.

Not everyone has time to cook breakfast each morning, so luckily there are many ready-made breakfasts you can buy to keep in your pantry or freezer for a healthy meal on the go. However, there is one frozen breakfast food that at a first glance seems very good for you, but is actually hurting your metabolism: Kellogg’s Special K Flatbread Breakfast Sandwich.

The Kellogg’s Special K Flatbread Breakfast Sandwich seems like a great early morning meal because it features sausage, egg and cheese. Though Kellogg’s Special K is a breakfast brand known to be on the healthier side, this frozen breakfast sandwich is actually not that good for you. The sandwich looks like it should be beneficial as it only contains 240 calories and 12 grams of fat per serving, but there are other factors to consider.

Despite its low count of calories, sugar and fat, a single serving of the Special K Flatbread Breakfast Sandwich contains more than half of your daily recommended cholesterol intake and 30% of your daily recommended sodium.
