Question 1

healthy to have veg for breakfast?
i find that cereal is too sugary, i have sandwiches for lunch (@work) so i don't want toast & fruit doesn't fill me

Accepted Answer

Totally fine: It is absolutely fine to have vegetables for breakfast; choices like toast or cereal are merely cultural conventions and not esp. Healthy choices. But it is wise to include some protein which can be done by having nuts, seeds, beans or eggs as part of your breakfast.

Question 2

i can't eat in the morning aside from cereal. i can't eat heavy. now with work i need breakfast. what to eat that will keep me full for a while?

Accepted Answer

Hot cereal: Such as cream of wheat or oatmeal may do the job.  Maybe a little fruit on top.  Yogurt may also be an option.  There is little nutrition in cold cereal.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

whenever i eat dinner i am bloated with excessive air - i eat quickly and often don't chew thoroughly, but i wonder if i am intolerant to some types of foods? this really doesn't occur with breakfast or lunch, oddly, but i only have oatmeal or cereal

Accepted Answer

Bloating: when you eat fast you do not chew properly and you also swallow a lot of air. I would first try to eat slowly and chew your food. See if that changes things.  Also avoid gassy foods like cauliflower, beans, chic peas etc..

Question 4

is all bran a healthy cereal for breakfast?

Accepted Answer

All Bran is all good: All Bran is a good low calorie, high fiber choice for breakfast.  May have too much fiber for some people, in fact.  I recommend mixing it with other breakfast cereals to add fiber without a large amount of calories.

Question 5

can eating cereal for breakfast and lunch help to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Cereal is a carb: and too many carbs promote weight gain.  Proteins such as eggs, cheese, nuts, and also fruit are much better.  How is your exercise?  Walking is good.  Peace and good health.  Make sure you use natural peanut butter, not regular peanut butter that contains sugar and preservatives.

Question 6

what is a good breakfast cereal to have when trying to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Oatmeal: Old fashion oats are a good choice. A half cup (dry)  serving has 150 calories, 4 grams of fiber (helps fill you up), 5 grams of protein (helps keep you feeling full) and only 1 gram of sugar. You might want to add additional protein like egg whites (20 calories and 5 grams of protein/per egg white). Having protein at breakfast and with every meal helps keep you feeling full longer.

Question 7

are chia seeds really all they're claimed to be? if they do help you feel full, would like to add to  breakfast cereal. yet another fad or beneficial?

Accepted Answer

Fad!!!: If there was any real benefit, everyone would be doing it and the drug companies would be looking for a way to patent it!

Question 8

i don't know why, when i eat breakfast, only cereal fills me up. anything else still makes me feel hungry. your thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Creals are good brea: Cereals make a great breakfast, so why not use them? Just be careful that there is not much sugar in the cereal you use. Also you can mix some proteins with the cereal. This can be obtained from using eggs or nuts mixed with your cereals (almonds and walnuts are great source of proteins and will keep your appetite in control for many more hours!).

Question 9

is it healthy to have an entire box of cereal for breakfast?

Accepted Answer

No of course not: That is generally known as pigging out!

Question 10

could you suggest a food for breakfast to eat before or after cereal?

Accepted Answer

Try some: Yogurt or fruit.
