So the other day I was in the cereal aisle, trying to decide whether to buy Boring Adult Cereal A. or Boring Adult Cereal B. There are many factors that go in to choosing a breakfast cereal, but as of late I’ve tended to buy things that fall into the “good for you” category, as opposed to my normal routine of throwing a box of Count Chocula in the cart and being done with it. As I scanned the aisle, I noticed a trend: all of the cereals for kids were being marketed as having “LESS SUGAR!” in an attempt to grab the attention of health-conscious parents. But according to an article published in this November's Consumer Reports, "23 out of the top 27 cereals marketed to children rated only Good to Fair nutrition." Uh-oh! Does this mean that a cereal can't be magically delicious AND generally nutritious? More »

Good news for those of you who love eating eggs with your morning breakfast: A new study has shown that adults who ate two eggs for breakfast, as part of a low-calorie meal, lost 65% more weight and reported higher energy levels than those who ate a bagel-based, low-calorie breakfast. The researchers also found that baseline cholesterol blood levels in the subjects did not increase compared to the bagel-breakfasters. Why are eggs so good at helping people loose weight? Eggs are a high-quality protein so they can keep your energy up and your cravings down. Although, it is important to note that a lot of the egg's protein and benefits come from the yolk, so you have to eat the entire egg. No egg-white omelets for you! [Eureka Alert] More »

Do the benefits of eating breakfast differ between boys and girls? Dr. Katharina Widenhorn-Mueller thinks so: the researcher reports that research into the effectiveness of a healthy breakfast for young people shows that boys report being in a fouler mood if they go without a morning meal but many girls do not. Well, we may not be kids anymore, but going without our morning meal and coffee can put us into a horrible mood. At the end of her report, Widenhorn-Mueller calls for more research into the gender differences in breakfast studies. We suggest she start here. [Reuters] More »

Another morning, another story about how people should eat breakfast making us hungry to eat another breakfast because, duh, we're bloggers, of course we eat breakfast. (Right? Don't we? Don't worry; I asked!) Anyway, the important part: market forces are threatening to put this very most cherished tradition under attack! The price of eggs is skyrocketing! And Starbucks, the purveyor of roughly 2/7 of my weekly breakfasts is pulling breakfast sandwiches from its menu in response to the recession. I think eggs are a "Giffen good," which is an economic term for those commodities you don't appreciate until they get more expensive. Anna, for instance, eats egg white sandwiches every day but says thinking about the eggs "grosses [her] out." Just wait until you're forced to eat them 20 meals a week, love! So: I am going to get a head start on this and appreciate eggs in advance. Me, I eat some sort of egg sandwich every single day. This habit began, as so many do, with a hangover, and like so many other hangover-related rituals, it became habit. I used to worry it would raise my cholesterol level. More »
