How bad is cereal?
« on: July 03, 2012, 03:47:50 pm »


:P Eating a real meal is said to be better than eating cereal everyday.

WHy's that?

most cereals contain tons of sugars and carbs you typically don't need.  A solid, well cooked breakfast is better for you overall.

As jamrow said, most breakfast cereals are full of sugars and fast acting carbs.  My personal preference is for a good bowl of oatmeal.  The carbs are slow acting, it's loaded with protein and fiber, and keeps you full longer.  And it costs way less than a box of the garbage.

I agree with what they said above.  I'm sure there are certain cereals that are alright but most of them aren't.  If you were to pair them with other things, you might be able to sorta balance things out but I don't know what it would take.  I know some people like to add fruit and nuts to cereal that would help, but I would assume more would be needed.

Cereal may fill me up temporarily, but I feel hungry much faster than other breakfast choices. Sometimes, I do like to snack on cereal, however.

You can find me on Youtube!

Cereals are mostly all carbs and not very good at filling you up on their own. If you add fruit and nuts to them, though, or pair it with toast, juice, etc. you can get a well-rounded meal.

If you eat whole grain cereal and some fruit. You will be way better off  than eating the typical nightmare to your arteries American breakfast. Don't let them fool you.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hence the misnomer, "cereal killer".
