Too much cereal?

[mummy_Heth21]

Am just wondering if i could get some opinions. Do you think that i'm eating too much cereal (sultana bran 100cals per 30 gram bowl). i eat four bowls a day.
would anyone say thats far too much? im slim and watch my calorie intake, but ive noticed that its quite high in carbohydrates. would eating this much have any affect on me?
thanks in advance

I do think you need to cut down to maybe 1 or 2 bowls a day. You must be in the loo a lot! Lol

That's^^^^^^^^ what I would worry about also...certainly not the carbs,which are the healthy,slow release type.

[mummy_Heth21]

hi thanks for your answers, dont spend that much time on the loo suprisingly lol.
i try and eat as healthy as possible then something else crops up somewhere about fat and carbs and it just got me thinking
theres 26.7grams in one bowl. just thought it sounded like alot?

Depends what else you are eating

[tracey ann..]

it will certainly keep you regular lol

According to the diagram here http://www.umm.edu/imagepages/1055.htm approximatelt 2/3 of your diet should be fruits,vegetables, grains and cereals. So limit the cereal a bit and add some more fruit and wholegrain bread.

couldn't agree more pasta
love a bit of fruit
in moderation of course lol ;-)

Where did the chocolate go on the diagram :-(((

[pastafreak]

I think it is one of the very fine lines in the diagram-lol I know my diet is totally unbalanced...must be why I keep falling over!!

[tiggerblue10]

I try to keep a balanced diet but it all goes to pot in the evenings when I crave chocolate. I've been eating dark 70% cocoa choc lately as I've heard its lower in fat and has anti-oxidents.

I don't see too much wrong with your diet hun, providing you try and eat protein and fresh vegetables as well.
PS) It's not just pasta's diet that's unbalanced!!! xxx

[pastafreak]

Oh tigs--come to my house...I do the same thing!!!......and I will ignore ms Ice....humfphttt!!

Thanks for all your answers. dont eat so much veg but alot of salad. and all bran cake! canyone ever tried it. oh its heaven.
i love food, especially cake and crumble with custard, or choccie cake and custard (yum yum) but since going from 13 stone to 7 1/2 i try to limit the amount of goodies i eat so i dont get fat again.sad eh.
