This is exactly what I was going to say. You can't eat cereal or dairy if you are trying to get really lean. I don't even eat fruit if I'm dieting. A small apple has like 20g of sugar.
Where did you get the idea that you can't eat cereal and dairy if you want to get really lean? Apple is pretty low calorie, and has fiber, so I would say it's a great thing to eat on a diet as well.
I think the message I was trying to make was missed. It's not WHAT you eat, it's how much.
Good post.
While cereal and pasta might not show that many calories per serving, the serving size is really small.
Its in stark contrast to what most people actually eat.
I asked my wife to fill her bowl with what she thought was a serving of whole wheat pasta then I measured it on a scale. She was 3 times over.
It wasnt much in the bowl and the bowl itself was large. Its really easy to over serve yourself on those products and with large bowls.
Granola is the worst !
