To be angry that DP fed the DC pizza for breakfast?

[LyraSilvertongue]

This morning. We'd run out of milk and bread (my fault, didn't get round to shopping yesterday) so he put a pizza in the oven for them instead.
He sees nothing terribly wrong with it ("it's just bread and tomato and cheese" says he) but my point it it's essentially junk food, laden with salt and fat. Not what a child needs to keep them going through a morning at school.
And we did have bread rolls in the freezer, which can be defrosted in a couple of minutes, and eggs in the fridge.
AIBU or is he?

I think I would not be worried if it was a one-off. Try not to let it worry you any further.....

As an aside, I would like to express my objection to the fact that on MN it seems to be commonplace these days to call the OP 'a loon' when you don't agree with them. I think this is very bloody rude and I am sorry to see that mumsnet has gone this way.

He doesn't give them white bread and jam.
Protein may be more satiating in the short term but slow release carbs are better in the morning. Helps them concentrate on their schoolwork and such.
You're like a dog with a bone Bloss. let it go.

Thank you Electra. I also think it's extremely rude to call someone a loon just because they have a different opinion.
I really don't think objecting to pizza for breakfast for my children classes me as a loon.

Following the thread where someone is being reported to SS for having a tidy house, I give you fair warning that I'm considering whether or not to make an anonymous report to Social Services.

jam butties - before the food police were invented, my kids used to have that for butties at school when we had no money left at the end of the week.

they are very obviously traumatised from the experience and it had left them permanantly damaged mentally and physically.

Pizza eating is an important part of some people's culture. Therefore this thread is probably racist. HTH.

I haven't avoided the issue bloss, I answered your questions but you've ignored that.
Where's your evidence that pizza is a more nutritious breakfast than porridge or eggs? Are you just guessing?
Someguy, that's just plain stupid.

oh god,is this still going on??!!

Lyra,what has your DH got to say for himself
and did your dc request pizza again this morning?

I am wrong for laughing like a loon at how heated a 'pizza for breakfast' thread has gotten?

'Am I' obv not I am...I would never say I was wrong

what you don't want to know is that I am curently on the tesco site downloading nutrition information into excel and making a spreadsheet of the calorie / fat / carb / sugar / salt content of various breakfast options, including pizza, scrambled eggs, porridge and nutella-on-toast

give me ten minutes and I'll report back

Hmm, I get pretty cross with dh when he sticks chocolate brownies in front of dcs in the morning, as they would happily have eaten porridge if they hadn't seen them. Pizza for breakfast doesn't sound like a bad idea to me though.

ok ok roll up for the great nutritional reveal:

Tesco Italian Margherita pizza, 2 slices (ie 1/3 of a whole one)
395 calories
20g protein
51.1g carbs, of which 45.1g complex carbs
12.3g fat
2.1g fibre
1.1g salt

1 medium free range scrambled egg on 2 slices buttered white toast
345 calories
13.3g protein
34.6g carbs of which 31.6g complex carbs
15.6g fat
2.2g fibre
1.2g salt

Not much to do today MrsBadger?

YABU

Did anyone see that programme where they investigated food and cholesterol and weight and concluded that a high protein breakfast such as egg/cheese/beans on is far more filling than carbs and means that you eat less at lunchtime.

Also that calcium in cheese and milk attaches to the fat in some way so it is excreted from your body and your cholesterol goes down.

It was absolutely fascinating.

had a spare 10min while the coffee brewed

well done, mrs Badger

Ilovetiffany, no they had Shredded Wheat.
Mrsbadger, it would have been two eggs on brown toast, not one on white. How does that affect your figures?

salted or unsalted butter? or flora?

[spreadsheet at the ready]

Lurpack Spreadable unsalted.

mmmm yum pizza for breakfast as long as its a one off, can't see the problem really

2 medium eggs on 2 slices medium wholemeal with 10g lurpak spreadable unsalted:
415 calories
22.6g protein
28.4g carbs, of which 25.6g complex carbs
22.7g fat
4.8g fibre
1.4g salt

so actually two slices of pizza was less salty, less fatty and more carby, with not much to choose in the protein stakes...
