Choosing the first meal of your day [may not actually be the most important thing you do](http://time.com/2838453/everything-you-know-about-breakfast-is-wrong/) for your diet, but if recent trends are any indication, it’s enough to keep people up at night. [According to recent data](http://time.com/money/3984124/breakfast-restaurant-meals-mcdonalds-dennys-sonic/), sales for breakfast foods are outpacing those for lunch and dinner. Meanwhile, some fast food chains have [begun offering](http://fortune.com/2015/07/22/mcdonalds-all-day-breakfast-2/) breakfast dishes 24/7.

But not all breakfasts are equally nutritious.

The editors at [_Cooking Light_](http://www.cookinglight.com/)_,_ which is owned by TIME’s parent company, have launched the [Cooking Light Diet,](https://www.cookinglightdiet.com/?utm%5Fsource=un%5Femail%5Fnewsletter%5FTime%5F20160101%5FTimeSave20) which is a subscription-based meal-planning service that provides people with weekly menus and recipe options based on their dietary preferences.

Here are 10 breakfasts from the plan.
