I am in with the people that say eggs over cookie crisps. Yes cookie crisps taste good but it doesn't give you what you need to make it to lunch. Eggs fill you up and it lasts longer and will help your body perform better.
I can't believe people can honestly believe cookie crisps or fruit loops are just as good a breakfast as eggs and fruit.
This theory of "if it fits in your calories do it" has to be balanced with "what is going to help me perform best through the day".
What a terrible, joyless life, never to eat things just because they taste good.0 -

OOooh! That sounds really yummy! I think I need to start eating cereal just for the iron. Cereals usually have a bunch of iron in them, I believe. I never have enough in my diet.

Find one poster who is arguing that point. Nice straw man.
Do you know the definition of "moderation"?
The only person in this discussion arguing elimination (and that would be FOR elimination) is the poster you're quoting.
I guess you've missed all the "sugar isn't bad for you" comments. Of course it's not bad if you have a little. But it's bad for you if you have a lot (source - AHA and hundreds of others).
So then you're agreeing?? Sugar...in and of itself...is not bad for you.
Too much sugar (or too much water....or too many apples...or too much kale) is.
Be sure you inform captain broscience. Apparently he's the only one on the thread that doesn't understand that yet.0 -
Uhm, Count Chocula. Chocolate Krave cereal for when the great Chocula draught commeth.0

Nah, there's nothing wrong with sugar. These folks are just making it up because they are in the aspartame business, and want people to keep drinking diet soda.

Ok...so now you're back to the "all sugar is bad regardless of context or dosage" argument. It would be nice if you could just stick to one position and not moving goalposts in every post.
And pro tip: Internet blogs aren't exactly the best source for science and facts.0 -

I stopped eating cereal a long time ago. Too processed. You can lose with eating whatever keeps you in a deficit. However, I didn't find appropriate cereal servings filling....0

Read the article. It differentiates between refined sugar and sugar from fruit.
That only makes it worse.0 -

Helps what?
by not eating it. look at the cereal ingredients and dont buy the one that adds sugar (white sugar). carbs already turn into glucose. you dont need extra sugar.

I don't need lots of things. I could probably live on a nutrient paste. But why should I avoid added sugar? If carbohydrates turn into glucose, what harm will sugar do to me?
