Viraldice: Nutritionists Now Say Pizza for Breakfast Is Healthier Than Most Cereals

utritionist Chelsea Amer tells The Daily Meal that in many cases, a slice of pizza is healthier than your average bowl of cereal for breakfast. While things like portion size and ingredients matter, pizza's protein and carbs provide more nutrition than cereal's sugary and empty calories.

Not only is pizza more nutritional than most cereals, it keeps you fuller for longer. While Amer doesn't necessarily recommend pizza for breakfast, she can't deny that it's a healthy alternative compared to most cereals.

It's Never Too Early for A Slice

This breakthrough revelation is a guilt-ridding gamechanger that’s sure to ease the consciences of people from all walks of life. Late-night bingers, hangover-nursers, and even exhausted moms can all find comfort in this nutritional newsbreak, knowing that it’s really never too early for a slice of pizza.

Dietician Claims that Pizza is Healthier for Breakfast than Most Cereals

The Chicago Tribune reports that Chelsey Amer, a registered dietician, recently told The Daily Meal that an average slice of pizza is actually healthier for breakfast than a bowl of most cereals with whole milk.

 

Pizza's Protein Punch Knocks Sugary Cereal Out Cold

Amer told the Daily Meal:

You may be surprised to find out that an average slice of pizza and a bowl of cereal with whole milk contain nearly the same amount of calories… However, pizza packs a much larger protein punch, which will keep you full and boost satiety throughout the morning.

Skip the Sugar Crash and Just Order the Pie

While, of course, facts like serving size and the types of pizza and cereal count when comparing the two foods nutritionally. But in general, many kinds of cereal are loaded with empty calories and a ton of sugar, while most slices of pizza, while they may be greasy, are nonetheless packed with protein, keeping you fuller for longer.

 

When it comes to Cereal, Size Matters

The empty calories and loads of sugar found in many popular cereal brands tend to leave breakfast-eaters unsatisfied and more likely to exceed the recommended serving size. Instead of overcompensating, you might as well load up on protein and carbs with a slice or two and make it to lunchtime without hunger pangs.
