Breakfast is the essential meal of the day:after several hours of fasting overnight, the batteries need to be recharged to face the long day that is beginning. More importantly, skipping this meal could promote the onset of heart disease, according to a recent American study. So what should you eat when you get out of bed? Many people opt for sweets, especially cereals (yes, it's a habit that is not always lost when you become an adult!) which reflects the image of healthy food. But British dietitian and blogger Chelsey Amer warns:she tells The Evening Standard that this sweet choice favored by thousands of people is equivalent… to a slice of pizza! “It will surprise you but a medium slice of pizza and a bowl of cereal with whole milk contain the same number of calories .
Worse still, the pizza would even be a better option than the bowl of cereal. “However, pizza has a higher protein intake which keeps you full and keeps you feeling full until lunchtime “, adds the expert. If you're a die-hard cereal lover, don't panic:just choose a "whole" variety that is high in fiber and mixed with fruit, which is much healthier than most other sugar-laden products. Of course, the advice is not to eliminate all kinds of breakfast and only subscribe to the pizza at 7:30 a.m., but if it contains a lot of vegetables (forget the 4 Cheeses or the Burger right away …), then it remains a little pleasure that we can indulge in from time to time. So, the Chocapic or the vegetarian pizza? Take your pick…
