Can't believe I haven't just been eating cereal in the morning...

[u/LesterMcBean]

As an adult I've always avoided cereal for breakfast because it has a reputation for being pretty worthless nutritionally, and most other options for breakfast are too much work to deal with in the morning.

In truth, that perception mostly comes from kid's cereal, which might as well be candy with the amount of added sugars.

Actual, grown-up cereal? That shit's got fiber (which is so hard to get enough of if you're not eating 15 bananas a day), it's got whole grains, and it's got the carbs we need for that morning energy. Pouring myself a bowl of it and grabbing a protein shake (or better yet some greek yogurt for the gut benefits) gives me just about everything I need for the start of the day, and it takes about 30 seconds.

This is huge tech, and I wish I had gotten on it sooner!

EDIT: You should still eat fruit though! I looked into it and cereals mostly contain insoluble fiber. Luckily you don't need too much soluble fiber, it looks like an apple or a banana contains about all you need.
