Pizza is a more balanced breakfast than cereal, dietitian claims

After a heavy night of drinking, you may find yourself reaching for last night’s cold pizza – but according to one dietitian , this is no bad thing.

Ms Chelsey Amer, a dietitian based in New York, claims that pizza is actually a more balanced breakfast than a bowl of cereal.

Speaking to ABC News , she said: “Surprisingly, pizza can be a more balanced breakfast option than many sugar-filled breakfast cereals.

“A slice of plain cheese pizza contains a balance of carbs, protein, and fat.

“A bowl of sugary cereal with low fat milk is largely sugar and extremely carb-heavy."

Before you take this to mean that you should grab a slice of pizza before work every morning, Ms Amer explained that’s probably not wise.

She added that she is ‘not recommending pizza as an everyday breakfast’, but is urging people to ‘focus on a balance of high fibre carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fast to stay full throughout the morning.'
