He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You can have something packed with sugars that says "NO FAT!" on the label, and otherwise intelligent people will think it's healthy.

My brother-in-law eats a huge bowl of cold cereal every morning with skim milk... I drink a coffee with heavy cream or half and half and don't eat breakfast. He's a bigger guy that can't figure out how to lose weight and I'm not anymore.

Full fat or no fat!

Also, I enjoy a cold cereal once in a while but people need to stick with the classics.

Also oatmeal > cereal

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Shitty cereal is my weakness, but even then you can fit it into an otherwise healthy diet as a treat every now and then. I just buy the tiny box once a month and only have a few bowls. Working on a box of fruity pebbles right now, lol.

My son has celiac. Fruity pebbles is one of the few he can safely have. I made the mistake of reading into the food coloring they use I guess there's some unconfirmed links to ADD lol. FML we can't win.

To be fair I can't figure out what to have for breakfast. I have issues with low blood sugar recently so I've been having... Lucky Charms :/. I just need to cut calories elsewhere I guess

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oats and nuts maybe? They're filling and will last you quite some time.

[–] assassin_aragorn 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've never really had oats actually. I guess those might work?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yes, there are tons of recipes for oatmeals, overnight oats or baked oats. Enjoy trying them out! :)

Overnight oats with protein powder and fruit, Chia pudding with fruit and Greek yogurt, eggs and whole wheat toast with guacamole or avocado, protein pancakes with fruit and Greek yogurt,

Something high in protein and with low glycemic index carbs.

You want something that will digest over a long time and release sugars and nutrients into the blood steadily, not something high in refined highly available sugars which hit the bloodstream all at once and spike blood sugar, then when it's all used up your blood sugar dips back down sharply.

[–] assassin_aragorn 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Mmmm. Scrambled eggs, whole wheat toast with real fruit jam, and then fruit or Greek yogurt should be good too then right? Because that actually sounds delicious.

[–] SmoothIsFast 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that would be ideal. The jam isn't the best choice because of the sugar content, but you gotta have something to enjoy lol.

[–] assassin_aragorn 2 points 8 months ago

I figure there's jam which doesn't have tons of sugar and is more fruit based

Eat an apple and some grapes.
