Healthy eating



Today in Healthy Eating I learnt that Weet-bix is the best cereal.
Because..
Weetbix
Sugar: 2.8g
Fat::1.3g
Fibre: 11g
so it has alot of Fibre and not much Sugar and Fat which  is good, sometimes we need Sugar but in this case it isn't good for you because it is not natual sugar that comes from fruit and food.
Also fat can be good for you but again not in this case.

Here are the rest of the breakfast cereal that is most commonly eaten. (all of these are calculated by 100g)

Coco Pops
Sugar: 36.5g   (wow this has alot of sugar that is not needed)
Fat: 0.4g     (so it doesn't have much which is good)
Fibre: 1.2g
Up and Go
Sugar: 7.4g
Fat: 1.5g
Fibre:  1.5g     (you could add more Fibre by having a Bannana as well)
(Natural muesli is better for you than toasted muesil because is is not cooked it fat so it doesn't have has much Fat)
Natural Muesli
Sugar: 20.5g   (the sugar is high because this is sugar from the fruits in it, unlike Coco pops with have no fruit in it)
Fat: 6.6g
Fibre: 8.6g
Toasted Muesli
Sugar: 207g
Fat: 15.3g
Fibre: 9.5g
