nutella is the devils breakfast choice.

ah ha ha ha....that's what i think!!! i know, i know, the commercials say it is a healthy option for you kids breakfast. but really? chocolate toast? oh my. Logan is used to cottage cheese, peanut butter on wheat, eggs, or fruit. (oh an of course a slice of left over pizza, if available!) lol i had cut out his pop tarts and no cereal with stupid marshmallows. He use to like yogurt then one day he decided he didn't like it anymore? idk about that one. but anyways.....back to nutella. It is good, dont get me wrong. i really think it is the idea of chocolate. if that was the only chocolate that a person treated themselves then ok..maybe. but i just think for healthy living purposes you should not put chocolate on your breakfast toast and call it a tasty yet balanced breakfast (*as stated on the jar)
it does have the same amount of calories per serving (2tbsp) as peanut butter. which is 200 cal. BUT the sugar is way more....21g vs 3g (on my hyvee creamy peanut butter jar) also protein is lower. 3g vs 8g(hyvee pb) i always look at protein and sugar count first these days. because i have to have lots of protein and my body cannot handle much sugar.
My nutritionist has told me before to check out the first ingredient in things. The first item is usually what makes up your product. and on nutella the first ingredient is sugar!
now yes that will probably give Logan some energy to start off his day, but probably not staying power. and we all know how Logan likes to keep his powers up! ha ha.
A side note on this devilish breakfast spread....not only is it tasty BUT it sits on MY counter all day whispering my name. UGH! so in the afternoon i will make myself a stupid piece of toast and spread on the chocolate sin and then eat it. yes it make my tummy hurt, yes it makes me go over my calorie count for the afternoon, and yes i have even been know to dip my pretzels in it!!! when i have ate it and hugging my tummy while it aches i just think why in the hell do i have this stuff in my house!!!!????
So in order for me to continue trying to keep breakfast a healthy good start to the day something must be done with the nutella!....tommorrow...hee hee
