Not only is the shit expensive, but may as well eat a bowl of ice cream with as much sugar as a lot of cereal has. Having cereal for breakfast daily is akin to using soda for hydration. It sure tastes good, but I’ve cut down on my cereal intake for multiple reasons.

    What people think is unhealthy or healthy changes once they start actually looking into it.

    Soda? Clearly unhealthy. Juice? Milk? Clearly healthy.

    Well, except that excessive carbs are a problem, and while milk and juice may have some nutrition (that you can also easily get from other sources), they have as much sugar as soda.

    As a diabetic, I try not to drink calories. Milk and juice are slightly worse than regular soda. And I will occasionally have some of any of those. But occasionally, and a small amount, not a large amount.

    So true, and worse, most cereal is just carbs to begin with!

    Basically your breakfast is sugar on sugars.

    And it doesn't take too much to correct the problem since about half of the calories (for a non-diabetic at least) should come from carbs. So get some protein and fat in there to balance, keep the total carbs in check, and enjoy some cereal if you want - as "part" of a balanced breakfast. heh.

    Well, for me, I don't like breakfast foods for breakfast. I do sometimes at night, but I prefer a burger at breakfast to any breakfast items.

    Your digestive system is the same all day. Eat what you like, try to make it more balanced as you can. :)
