\"Pizza\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Having leftovers from last night’s pizza<\/strong> for breakfast is very much a clich\u00e9 that happens at every home no matter what country you live in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has always been thought, however, that is is not exactly the healthiest habit, and has always been accompanied by statements like “that’s so unhealthy<\/strong>“, “you’ll get fat if you do that<\/strong>” or “you should have cereals for breakfast, not pizza<\/strong>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparing both<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According the the nutritionist Chelsea Amer<\/a>, having pizza for breakfast is probably healthier for you than cereals. <\/strong>Apparently, pizza has less sugar and more protein<\/strong> than a bowl of cereal (doesn’t matter what type). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both contain nearly the same amount of calories, but pizza packs a much larger protein punch, keeping you full throughout the whole morning. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cereals\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Plus, a slice of pizza contains more fat and much less sugar than cold cereals, so you will not experience a quick sugar crash<\/strong>“<\/p>Chealsea Amer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A little experiment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it has to be taken into consideration what type of cereal and what type of pizza is being consumed. However, a big problem with cereal is that people who eat cereal usually eat more than one serving<\/strong>, so the intake of unhealthy substances increases by a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Consumer Reports<\/a> carried out a small study with 124 people, in which 92% consumed more than one serving<\/strong>. They were shocked<\/strong> by how much constitutes one serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So is it good to have pizza for breakfast?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Greasy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All in all, pizza might not be the worst option compared to sugary cereals. However, according to Melissa Rifkin<\/a>, a bariatric dietitian at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York<\/a>, it is still not a smart choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“While pizza can be a healthier choice per se, you may be giving most people an open window here of really amping up sodium<\/strong>, carbohydrates and fat early in the morning and setting oneself up for failure throughout the day<\/strong>“<\/p>Melissa Rifkin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In addition, pizza doesn’t really lack sugar.<\/strong> Frozen pizza can’t be spared either<\/strong>. Melissa Rifkin reviewed different types of pizza and found that all of them are full of questionable ingredients,<\/strong> like high fructose or corn syrup<\/strong>, in addition to all the fat and calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better option<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Breakfast\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For now, we should replace “morning pizza” with better options<\/strong>, like homemade healthier pizza<\/strong> with less cheese, whole wheat crust and vegetables. <\/strong>Or just stay off pizza completely,<\/strong> and leave it for those special “cheating days<\/a>“. For now, a normal breakfast with yoghurt and fruit<\/a>, for example, is good enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
