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?

Nestle shredded wheat???

oh and 9.1g saturated fat in the egg breakfast, 6.3g in the pizza one.

How can there be less complex carb in the brown bread than the white?

I admire your dedication Mrs B. I intend to nominate you for an OBE for services to breakfast foods.

So you'll all be chucking out your cereal packets and stocking up on pizzas for DCs breakfast, yes?

might be an excel error
hang on
nope, is true

One slice Tesco medium sliced white

Remember bread is sliced and sold by weight, so the weight of the brown bread that isn't starch is protein and fibre.
That isn't to say that brown bread isn't better (in fact it is cause the protein and fibre keep you feeling full for longer), but that grams of complex carbs aren't always a good measure

Oh yes Goodfellas all round for breakfast,lunch and dinner.

and no I won;t be chucking out the cereal in favour of pizza, but I will be wheeling out scrambled eggs on toast as a quick nutritious supper more often

Lyra because the brown bread contains more insulable fibre per slice, and therefore less complex carbs that our bodies can actually break down for energy.

Woah, chill! What is wrong with serving warm bread with cheese and tomato sauce for breakfast? Actually, it is nutritionally a better breakfast than cereal and a banana.

YABU.

When I was little my mum would make nice home made pizza every Saturday night. Me and my brother and sister liked nothing better than eating the cold leftover for Sunday's breakfast!

Well, we probably eat our meals all round the wrong way. Many people have very little in the morning (after a night of fasting) and eat, way, way too much late at night, going to bed with a full stomach which cannot be digested. That means our metabolism is working all the wrong way round, and it is a small part of why western diets are linked with obesity.

Early in the last century, the advice was "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."

We feel ill at the thought of a full roast dinner early in the morning, but interestingly if you go to eastern countries (vietnam) or south american countries (bolivia) you might get meat and vegetable soup for breakfast, or vegetables, meat and eggs.

I would applaud you dh on a) providing something hot and nutritious that your dc would eat; b) making breakfast a fun and inventive meal. Just look how many parents of teenage kids struggle to get them to eat in the morning - send your dh round.

dolly makes a good point: we do actually eat our meals the wrong way

How does that affect your figures MrsB?
Also, brown bread has other nutrients in which white pizza base probably doesn't.

I know you're all right, pizza isn't so bad as a one-off. In my mind it was the equivalent of feeding them the leftover Chinese from the night before

I think it's quite funny. Quite a manish thing to do really. 'What? No bread? No milk? Ah, pizza'.

At least they ate something- it's only one day.

last week ds1 and dp had left over (from night before) home made chicken and veg soup for breakfast......not traditional but it kept them from starving until lunch time.

Great talking point at school if the teacher asks what you had for breakfast?
I think it's great that they had variety as a one off - probably remember it for ages.
When they've children of their own they'll say 'Grandad gave us pizza for breakfast once and Grandma had a real fit!!' Then you'll laugh about it.
Chill out.

I've never forgotten the curry soup that my uncle once prepared us for breakfast. It was good actually though who knows what was in it.

This is easily solved by simply giving them breakfast instead of pizza for tea.

I can't believe this is still going.
And I certainly don't believe that half of you who say it's okay have ever given your dc pizza for breakfast.

I'd say none of them have. But it's ok for my children.
In the end there's no harm done.

I have they have also had ice cream for breakfast lol...

I used to stay at my nans as a child and the best part??

cream cakes for breakfast mhmmmm

Lyra, you are just narrow minded
