to have spent nearly 30min researching comparative breakfast nutrition?

[MrsBadger]

and regardless whether I am or not, would you like to hear the hard-hitting numerical truth?

eh?

[morningpaper]

yes yes

is pizza the best?

[TigerFeet]

pizza for breakfast?

[FlamingoBingo]

Yes, yes. Please tell!

[overmydeadbody]

It's the pizza isn't it?

[islandofsodor]

I think it would be fascinating.

I now try and eat high protein as it fills me up for the day.

Besides I LOVE egg on toast.

Shame the sausage and chips at lunchtime is not so good!

PIZZA WINS

[morningpaper]

Porridge WOULD win, but loses points for Joylessness

[Trikken]

pizza isnt actually too bad then

[Trikken]

i suppose it depends how thick you spread the nutella tho...

[diddl]

The pizza´s not so good on the caleries and fat, though.

[FlamingoBingo]

Pizza has less fat than the egg on toast!

And calories are good for children.

[pooexplosions]

calories and fat are both good for children. And make things taste nice!

[islandofsodor]

Can I confess that I usually have no idea what the dc have for breakfast unless they spill it everywhere or use every single drop of milk.

I think a muller corner yoghurt was involved today as I found two empty pots on top of the bin.

Dd (8) gets up and sorts herself and ds out. The only thing she can't do is anything involving the hob but she uses the toaster and micriwave. She has been doing this for about a year now whilst I have an extra 15 mnis in bed.

[overmydeadbody]

Is 350 calories an enormous breakfast riven? I thought breakfast should be one of your main meals of the day, so even 500 calories wouldn't be too much would it?

[MrsBadger]

oh yes the nutella was a 'generous' portion ie 15g per piece of toast:

scanty nutella on brown (2 slices Tesco wholemeal medium sliced with 15g Tesco organic chocolate hazelnut spread)
245 calories
8.8g protein

Nice one, MrsBadger!

[pointyhat]

my mum sees school kids queuing up at gregg's at 8 in the morning near her work to buy a meal deal for brakfast. What's the nutritional value of that one, badge?
