Pregnant women take breakfast seriously.
They are aware of the importance of starting the day with vitality. The vast majority of pregnant women are clear that when they do not eat correctly at breakfast they feel more tired or in a worse mood.
A good breakfast must provide between 20 and 25% of daily energy intake and should include foods from four different groups: Dairy products, cereals, fruit and others such as oil, ham, etc..
