A member asked:

Help please! is eating a bran muffin bad for breakfast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Where is the protein: Eating a bran muffin as part of a balanced meal and diet is not bad. It is predominantly carbohydrate, with little protein. A well balanced diet is the healthiest. Only carbohydrates may leave you tire in the morning.

I consume a lot of wheat bran due to digestive issues. I read that it contains phytates that hinder absorption of some nutrients. Is it safe to continue eating soaked wheat bran daily or am I causing potential anemia? I take multivitamins. Thank you.
