This Video Explains What a Full Breakfast Really Means.
You’ve probably seen a lot of commercials that say cereal is “part of a complete breakfast,” but what does that really mean? This video explains why cartoon mascots use this phrase so often, as well as what a “full breakfast” should actually entail.
This video from YouTube channel Reactions (a series from the American Chemical Society) chemically explains what should be on your plate with a “full breakfast”: a combination of carbohydrates and proteins. The reason leprechauns and rabbits tell you that their cereals are “part of a complete breakfast” is because they technically contain a carbohydrate portion. But most of these grains are made up of simple carbohydrates that break down quickly, providing only a short burst of energy. For a true “complete breakfast,” you need complex carbohydrates that give you a longer, more even source of energy, from foods like vegetables and whole grains. You also want to get some protein from foods such as eggs ( they are good in moderation ) and yogurt to help you feel fuller longer, as well as reduce your chances of overeating and get rid of pesky cravings. Find out more about the science behind it all in the video above.
