3 Bad Breakfast Choices

Sometimes the hardest meal to prepare for yourself is breakfast.

Often times people just grab something that is quick and easy while they are in a rush out the door, and sometimes it is even worse when you think you're consuming something that is healthy, but it actually isn't.

...3 really bad breakfast food choices:

Here are 3 of the absolute worst foods you can possibly eat in the morning (of foods that a lot of people choose as breakfast foods anyway)...

1. Muffins

Most store-bought muffins are giant, which means they can sometimes contain over 600-700 calories that have absolutely NO protein or healthy fats to keep you feeling full and satisfied.


2. Bagels

Would you sit down and knowingly eat FOUR slices of bread?


Well, MOST bagels have the equivalent of four servings of bread, which will quickly convert into sugar making you store fat and feel lethargic in no time.


3. Cereals


Over-the-counter cereals are, by far, one of the worst foods for your waistline and your health.

The majority of over-the-counter cereals are empty calories, simple carbs and sugar, cleverly disguised as a
"healthy" breakfast.

There are a few rare exceptions, like some of the cereals in the Ezekiel 4:9Æ line from Food for LifeÆ, but I
NEVER eat cereal when I'm trying to get leaner.

If you wake up and eat ANY of the above 3 foods to start your day it's like being stung by a bee.

Seriously, they'll make you literally swell up, while making you feel fat and bloated the entire day.

They also FORCE your body to depend on sugar all day, instead of burning fat.

However, there are certain foods that you can eat in the morning that are guaranteed to turn your fat burning
switch to ON as soon as you wake up.

Take Care,

David
 
I would disagree with a number of your statements...

I am not saying that the options you list are necessarily ideal - but if you post something in such definite terms it is a good idea to check the facts in what is said.

1/ You make the statement that there is absolutely NO protein in a muffin. A muffin is not high protein - but it does contain protein... The protein level naturally depends on the recipe - but since there is protein in flour (10g per 100g) - so 4.5g protein is listed for 100g of muffin.

2/The statement is made that a bagel is the equivalent of FOUR slices of bread.
- checking general listing - a slice of bread is listed as 79 calories and a bagel is listed as 250 calories - which is nearer the equivalent of THREE slices of bread than FOUR.

3/ While quite a lot of cereals are developed to appeal to children with jolly cartoons - there are some healthy choices... We needn't worry about Ezekiel 4:9Æ or similar jargon - a simple check of the contents suggest that cereals such as weetabix will do our efforts no harm as long as we do not wreck the calories with a lot of sugar... Indeed oats is a cereal and there is little to complain about porridge as a healthy warming choice.
 
Good morning Omega,

Whilst there could be a lot to be debated with your reply I'm going to apologise for writing a post that appears to have been inflammatory.

Not harm intended.

Please delete the thread if you feel it's not in keeping with this forum.

All the best,
David
 
I just like to see accuracy in postings.

I will fully agree that average recipes for muffins, bagels and high calorie cereals can all bring higher calories than the novice dieter may imagine.

This forum prides itself on the quality and accuracy of postings which claim to be informative. If you check out the pinned threads in the different sections you will get an idea of where we are coming from with this.
 
Sure, I love accuracy too, but as you know food sizes are extremely variable and the quality of protein sources could be examined in further detail.

Anyway, I do apologise.
