Looking to start your day off with a nutritious meal? Forget Cheerios. Instead, reach for a slice of pizza, says one dietitian.
On Monday, blogger and dietitian Chelsey Amer caused a stir when she told the Chicago Tribune that a greasy slice of pizza is healthier than a bowl of cereal with milk.
“You may be surprised to find out that an average slice of pizza and a bowl of cereal with whole milk contain nearly the same amount of calories,” Amer said. “However, pizza packs a much larger protein punch, which will keep you full and boost satiety throughout the morning.”
She acknowledges that pizza isn’t necessarily a health food, but maintains that it’s a more balanced meal than a typical bowl of sugar flakes.

JUST THE HEADLINE IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW!!!
Don’t want to ruin it with specifics :)
The sugar load with pizza is lower than cereal.
My wife is a dietitian and she agrees.
Most of us learned this in college.
Cold pizza out of the fridge and orange juice, love it.
Reading the label on a box of cereal, it is pretty hard to justify eating it at all unless you just like the taste. There is little to no nutrition.
Pizza - The Breakfast of Champions..
I’ve been reading great nutritional things about pizza for decades.
And as for breakfast, it’s great out of the refrigerator.

Pizza can be extremely nutritious. It’s basically a sandwich laid flat.
The value depends on what it is made of and how.
Just like everything else.
Of course it is.
I can’t remember how many cold pizza slices provided the bulk of my daily nutrition after a pleasant evening drinking with friends during my (much) younger days.
ESPECIALLY if is anchovy pizza. Nothing like good fish breathe to start the day.
Hey...BREAKFAST pizza...scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, cream gravy for the sauce, topped with cheese. I’ve made it.
Now we’re talkin’.
Was babysitting my grandson one morning. He was playing a video game.
He said, “Grandpa, I want some pepperoni.”
I went to the fridge. Got some pepperoni. Put it on a plate with some crackers and put it in front of him. “There you go kiddo.”
He looks at me and says, “No Grandpa. I want it on a pizza.”
Thus he has pizza for breakfast when staying with me.
Healthier than the hamster food I eat every moring?
I wish.
I agree with her.
Thin crust, loaded with veggies, light on sauce and cheese...give me two pieces.
Right on.
It’s got all the food groups!
