What about cereals for breakfast?

Most wonder whether they could eat their favourite cereal as part of a high-protein breakfast.

My recommendation is first check the label to see the Protein, fibre & of course the calorie content on the label, by adding 1/2 a cup of low fat milk you can add another 10g of protein to your cereal.

The low protein can leave you hungry by the mid-morning.

You can also increase the protein by adding 10 grams of Protein - you can make a higher-protein cereal without affecting the taste too much.

According to L.A. Shape Diet book by Dr. David Heber,
Oatmeal has the best reputation for being a healthy cereal.

However Dr.Herber suggest that it is better to fortify oatmeal with protein to make it better breakfast choice. You can sprinkle on a little brown sugar or raisins, top with bananas or other fruit & add a splash of non fat milk.
Yummm......

The best thing is you get that WONDERFUL FEELING that you are doing something healthy, since there is an approved health claim that oats reduce cholesterol.

Ok, what kind of oatmeal to choose?

Instant oatmeal - usually loaded with sugar & artificial flavours and may be added fat sometimes So, it is best to avoid them.

The kind I would choose is pure plain rolled oats which is 100% whole grain & a goos source of soluble fibre.

Dr Heber also comments that you can make a bowl of Protein-fortified oatmeal as an occational alterntive to your Shake in the morning.

However, it does contain 300 calories and 48g of carbohydrate, so moderation is the key.
