Ever eat cereal but not at breakfast?

Ever eat cereal but not at breakfast? :eek:

Do you feel like your cheating? I had cereal for dinner the other day and I felt so strange.

It got me thinking, cereals are usually quite healthy and nutritional....if you were to eat one for breakfast, lunch and dinner not only would you be saving some money but you would be eating well with less crap and carbs etc.


Ok, I will shut up now!

Cormac2791

Think I may have some cereal now!

Saying that, I'm still lying in bed!

That's what they want you to believe! <cof> Porridge is the best </cof>

But yeah I admit I do have a sneaky bowl of something when late in the evening I'm going through the presses wondering what to snack on. Oh wait no, that's an ad for Special K. Silly me.

Whenever I even so much as have a thought of possibly eating cereal, I cook steak and eggs.

gargleblaster

Porridge is definitely best.

As for cereal but not at breakfast time, who hasn't?

correct, cereals are full of sugar you wouldn't be eating well. i'd say you would have no energy

You on the Special K diet to lose a dress size?

Only when I get the munchies. I think lots of people on this thread may be having them too. Smoke on, its Tuesday and the sun is out / in.

Are you serious? Cereals are practically all carbs, are you really that clueless about nutrition that you thinking eating cereals all the time would be healthy? The mind boggles

pow wow

supper??? I don't have a butler to make my cereal.

Aye. Cereals have the sugar kick to them but porridge releases energy slowly through the morning.

Or here for more info.

I had a bowl of coco pops at 11:30 last night :eek:

I dont think I've had cereal for breakfast in over a year. I eat cereal quite a lot though.

I've been told to ask the farmers who supply the oats and other cereals to see how they "preserve" their harvest prior to it being shipped...

It put the old guy who told me the story off porridge despite it being his life long breakfast staple.

Often have weetabix for me lunch, keeps me full and tis good for an ould bowel movement before I go to football in the evening!

Nobody wants to carry top weight when running around

It's hardly that out there, is it? I eat cereal a lot, the time of day doesn't matter at all to me.

Often have cornflakes for dinner when Im broke-suprisingly satisfying!

I hate cereals. I'd rather eat the cardboard box.

stovelid

I eat cereal at any time.

I was thinking more a long the lines of cutting down on heavy carbs that don't digest easily like breads, potatoes and chips etc.

Although, I am a bit clueless about diet and stuff!!

py2006

Actually, I heard Special K has one the the highest levels of sugar compared to most cereals.

I do like porridge but I find it far too heavy! I wouldn't be able to eat for the rest of the day!

hondasam

I eat cereal at any time of the day or night.

Pride Fighter

Seinfeld ate cereal anytime.

Irish Guitarist

I love a bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes or any cereal that comes in cluster form (although unfortunately the clusters always seem to be broken up when I buy them). I usually eat them in the evening or at night and hardly ever for breakfast. Actually I rarely eat breakfast.

jester77

I like to reheat the 2nd kebab I brought home from the night before.

kfallon

I love the end of the pack of corn flakes, Special K or Frosties where it's all like sand or dust, turns lovely with the milk

NothingMan

Had weetabix for dinner last night and was starving by bed time. Had a cereal bar to keep me sated til I woke up and had more weetabix and a cereal bar... I'm going to Ediies for lunch.

LeeHoffmann

I only eat cereal when I'm hungry but don't want to cook

Fair enough. The fact of the matter is that cereals are not healthy at all. Here's a long article here about it (you can skip to the conclusion on page 58).

Basically they are full of anti-nutrients, don't have the correct ratio of vitamin minerals and macronutrients for them to suffice as a staple of ones diet and cereal proteins can interact in horrible ways with your body

Still better than having a kebab or chip butty for breakfast tho :P

I quite often eat a bowl of Nesquicks (no milk) if I fancy a snack.

emeraldstar

Love cereal. Eat it any time of the day, any day.

A ****! :P

porridge or eggs or some other protein and fats

I don't eat cereal really, but my mother buys it. I might have it as a snack once in a blue moon.

Porridge is a cereal too, in moderation it's not too bad but I don't see the point of eating something regularly that's not healthy, even if you are having no ill effects it's still displacing more nutritious foods.

I don't eat any grains generally and have eggs for breakfast

All my favourite cereals are chocolate covered
