Mikey Doesn't Like It: How Cereal Is Missing the Breakfast Boom

Sales of cold cereal continue to decline in the U.S. General Mills’ (GIS) earnings fell short of forecasts in June, and just last month Kellogg (K)missed second-quarter sales estimates and cut its near-term forecasts.

This doesn’t mean that Americans have given up on the morning meal. In fact, the reverse is true. According to Nielsen (NLSN) data, breakfast on the whole is growing. And while cold cereal, an $8.5 billion industry, is still the biggest breakfast category overall, egg sandwiches, sausages, cereal bars, and pastries are catching up.

What’s driving these changes? Over the past five years, people have stopped caring quite so much about fiber, but there’s new interest in protein, with 54 percent identifying protein as something they care about, up from 49 percent in 2009. Meanwhile, other health crazes have taken hold. Interest in non-genetically modified foods rose 67 percent in the last five years, according to Nielsen; interest in gluten-free foods, and those without high-fructose corn syrup, is up 22 percent for both categories. Enter the gluten-free, unsweetened, high-protein, non-GMO egg.

1/4 a salt bagel (Brooklyn bagel) with Philly cream cheese and 3 cups of coffee.

[OBXNana]

I boil water, put in a lot of cinnamon, vanilla, yogurt, and bring it to a boil. Add steel cut oats, 8 grain cereal, wheat germ, and ground flax seed. When it's a good consistency, I pull it off the stove to cool. Each morning I heat some up in the microwave and top with blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and/or red raspberries.

A batch lasts about 10 days for 2. It is really quite good.

[John_W]

I've never been a big breakfast eater. Normally if I eat eggs, pancakes, waffles or anything like that, it's usually at Bob Evans and for lunch. I'm 5'9" and 154 pounds, 64 years of age. That's suppose to be my perfect BMI body weight. I do like Cheerios and keep those on hand for a snack with a banana. I'll probably have that a couple of times a month.

My normal breakfast is an Activia Lite Yogurt, flavor strawberry or blueberry. Followed with a 16 oz glass of high pulp orange. Followed by a 16 oz glass of V8 with a banana. Then about 30 minutes later an 8 oz glass of 1% milk mixed with 100% whey powder with 24 grams of protein.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

What makes you say that interest in fiber has diminished? Just because people are increasing their protein intake doesn't mean that they are lowering their fiber intake.

By reducing the amount of processed cereals that we all grew up eating, people are reducing their intake of sugar, processed carbs and gluten. Personally I don't think that's a bad thing.

We can get plenty of fiber from green leafy vegetables and sources other then wheat. It is being discovered that wheat in the form it takes today can be very harmful to us. We've know the dangers of sugar for years, but we still see cereals that are loaded with sugar and corn syrup.

Personally, I have a heaping teaspoon of sugar free psyllium powder in a glass of water every morning. That is more than enough fiber for any human being. Then as I said, along with plenty of protein, and fat, I eat salad, broccoli, spinach and other fiber rich veggies.

One reduced-fat nilla wafer (because I take care of the dog before I brush my teeth), followed by coffee and sometimes a mini York peppermint patty out of the freezer.

Eating breakfast sets me up to be hungry for the whole rest of the day.

I could go for those M&M's!

[swrinfla]

It seems that I may be a traditionalist, as well as a creature of habit !?

Almost invariably:
Monday: Kellogg's Raisin Bran or KRB Crunch
Tue/Wed/Fri: bacon, a fried egg, toast (2) w/ jelly/jam
Thu: soft-boiled eggs (2), bacon bits, toast (2), orange marmalade
Sat: English muffin (2) with sliced tomato, bacon bits, Italian spices
Sun: omelet (2 eggs) w/pepperoni, mushrooms or similar; danish pastry from Publix.

Always: 8 ounces of Minute Maid Orange Juice

Almost always: 3 cups of black coffee, with a small sugar cube, each. Granted, I usually pour out at least a half-cup because it gets too cold!

For the most part, my breakfast is The Meal of The Day!

I'm the same way. Once I eat, it's like opening the flood gates. About a week and a half ago I started eating one meal a day and I try to eat it as late as possible. It's not difficult to go all day unless I eat. Once I eat, I get hungry every hour or so.

[patfla06]

I like cereal for breakfast (bran flakes, shredded wheat,etc.)

Could it be the $5.00/box is turning people off?

I'm never hungry for breakfast but I'll eat it if somebody else fixes it. However, eating breakfast just makes me ravenously hungry before lunch time. So I try to put breakfast off until lunch.

I've been doing the same thing since June and have lost 9 lbs. It started when I was taking some medicine at 3:00 that upset my stomach.

I eat a big lunch around 2-2:30, and that's it for the day, except for a little fruit or a few crackers.

Sorry, off topic.

I am of opinion that the price increases over the past 2 years for major brands coupled with 1/3 box of air are contributing to the decline in consumption among many families with children.

[Polar Bear]

I have only one concern. Where is VPL? I'm worried about him.

[CFrance]

We can have a productive conversation about what we eat for breakfast all by ourselves.

[2BNTV]

Mostly oatmeal. Mon, Tues, Thurs and Friday.

Wednesday is two slices of toast, (multigrain bread). one with egg beaters and the other with sugar free jelly.

Saturday is fiber cereal with fat free milk.

Sunday is two eggs with toast and one slice is dedicated to sugar free jelly.

I find coffee makes me hungry, (black no sugar). Usually tea with FF milk and Splenda.

[dewilson58]

Banana, OJ, Peanut Butter on Triscuit crackers, and a baby aspirin.

[pookieroo]

Two eggs over easy, bacon or ham, home fries, 2 slices of toast and an orange. Oh yeah, and sometimes some yogurt.

Today, Bloody Mary, breakfast sausages, bacon and Johnnycakes w/Grade A dark amber maple syrup!:crap2:

Every morning it the same thing, except Sunday. 6 days we eat a banana, whole wheat old fashion oatmeal with blueberries or strawberries. Plenty of fiber there. On Sunday we splurge and have eggs and toast.

We usually disagree on eating, but on this you and I agree. While I usually have steel cut oats for breakfast, I try to have it as late in the day as possible. If I put off this breakfast until 11am or so, then I am usually good until supper which is usually a salad or some rice and beans. Many days my calory intake is under 1200 and I'm not hungry. But once I do start eating, I need to use some will power to stop eating.

pecan pancakes at cracker barrel is the best breakfast I've found anywhere . If I stay in its a bowl of some $5.00 cereal......probably cinnamon life..

What ? you wanna live forever........:wine: however I am planning on setting a record !!!

[onslowe]

Yep, now we're talking! For me, if I could, every morning it would be Billy's Cafe on 441. Three over easy on corned beef hash, grits and buttered biscuits. Maybe some sausage. Take me out and shoot me. I'm happy.

At home, it's reality time and usually McCann's 5 minute Irish Oats with either Polaner Blueberry or Raspberry or lots of cinnamon, with half and half and at other times, three egg cheese omelet no bread no meat.

[kellyjam]

2 free range eggs fried sunny side in coconut oil. 2 slices multigrain bread from Philipe of the farmers market with coconut oil. 1/2 biscotti (also Philipe's) and coffee with 1/2 & 1/2. My favorite meal of the day.

Since Philipe vacations in France from July to October I bought 10 loaves of his bread and 50 of his biscotti's and froze them lol.

[Deseylou]

1/4 cup of part-skim ricotta cheese with a little vanilla and Equal, a few walnuts and fresh blueberries. And coffee! Delicious

[pbkmaine]

This morning my husband made breakfast and we had what he calls a scramble. Hash browns, egg, bacon, cheese, mixed up and fried in a nonstick pan. Seasoned with paprika and onion and garlic powder. Vegetable juice. Earl Grey tea. Delicious.

[zcaveman]

On golf days I either have cereal or nothing - then I have crackers on the course.

On non-golf days, it could be sunny side up or scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage or bagels with butter and either sugar free jelly or hot jalapeno jelly or Jimmy Dean hot sausage on biscuits with mustard or cereal with canned fruit or, if I am luck, a couple of slices of cold leftover pizza with a can of Coca Cola. If I go out for breakfast, it is usually a western omelet with grits and wheat or rye toast, unless I am at TooJay's then it is a raisin bagel to go. I also like the make your own at Denny's - over easy eggs, bacon, grits, two pancakes with sugar free syrup.

How does one eat a quarter of a bagel? Both in the portioning and the "that's not enough to eat" sense. :)

My blood sugar is always highest in the morning so my body is all no no no to food. I've therefore skipped the Most Important Meal of the Day ever since high school when my mother began allowing me to. My line has always been that I can't stand the thought of putting food on an empty stomach.

I get hungry and eat my first meal around 11 am, which -- getting to the point! -- today was a bowl of leftover zucchini soup and 2 sticks of string cheese.

[graciegirl]

I have a two o'clock feeding and was delighted that Nigella Lawson on the food channel raids the fridge in the middle of the night too. I thought it was just me and Dagwood.

So I will have some kind of leftover and go back to bed. I don't know why.. I always have.

And then I am not hungry for breakfast.

[asianthree]

Yogurt that I make every week

[CFrance]

Yesterday a friend in Columbus made four of us longtime friends the nicest breakfast. It was sliced hard-boiled eggs in a cheese sauce on whole wheat English muffins, fresh fruit, bacon, orange juice, and poppyseed muffins. A perfect sendoff of food and laughter before driving alone three hours back to hubs and dog and bird in Pittsburgh.

This morning it was coffee and a saltine left on a plate on the kitchen counter. Can't have a vanilla wafer every morning or I'll get in a rut.

[slipcovers]

Does the boiling water kill the live cultures in the yogurt? :)

Any yogurt bought in the supermarket is dead, there are not live bacteria left due to FDA regulations. If there were live cultures, you could reculture and make more yogurt. Real yogurt has the consistency of buttermilk, which is a drink. The food industry has added sugar and fillers, thickeners, which your body converts to sugar.

Only the best and true yogurt is one that you make yourself, with cultures....it is very easy. I get mine from New England Cheesemaking. One packet will make endless yogurt, using a small amount of finished yogurt to culture the next batch. And yes, heat will destroy cultures, temperature is very important.

[CFrance]

It was my understanding that some yogurt contains live cultures. I learned to look for the Live Cultures emblem on yogurt containers. You can read more about it here Live Culture (http://www.aboutyogurt.com/Live-Culture), but to paraphrase, all yogurt is made with pasteurized milk, after which the cultures are added. That is why it is allowed. Some yogurts are heat treated afterwards, which kills the cultures, but some are not. There is a list on that site of companies approved to use the Live Cultures seal.

I prefer the Greek yogurts that have not cut the corner and added thickening ingredients instead of draining their yogurts. Fage and Chobani are two still making their yogurts the old-fashioned way. Although Fage is not listed on the site as having live active cultures, it and Chobani do. I have made yogurt from adding a bit of Fage, but I can't match their taste that I like.

Try unpasteurized milk you will get the results you want. It is as good as fage but better. Add honey from our bees and it's good to go.

Yay! Thank you for your eloquent defense of my favorite Greek yogurt. Chobani. Nobody does it better.

Since I found Chobani, a few years ago, that was it for me.

I like Chobani's texture better than any others. And it is not over-the-top sweet.

Also, Chobani's carton is a dog-friendly design. Makes it so much easier than trying to polish off the bottom of a Yoplait carton.

Glad to hear Chobani is a good and proper and cultured Greek yogurt. I often have it for breakfast.

[OBXNana]

Does the boiling water kill the live cultures in the yogurt? :)

It may. We eat it because we enjoy eating the cereal. The yogurt adds some creaminess to the cereal. We also add some sugar or honey for sweetness if the berries are not in season.

It's pronounced Fy-Yay, accent on the Fy. And it's Greek, so quite a bit different than, say, Dannon or Yoplait. Might not be to your taste.

My favorite is the fat-free plain. I drizzle honey over it and sprinkle granola and berries on top.

But Gracie, look for the Live Culture symbol on American yogurt.

I found the discussion about breakfast making Barry and Dr. Boogie and CFrance hungry to be very interesting. I realized I'm the same way.

Some of my morning options are protein smoothies, greek yoghurt and fruit, steel cut oatmeal, turkey bites, vegetable tortilla wrap and egg salad, left over pizza, whatever. I try to include flaxseed and some protein, and I often delay breakfast until late in the morning. I'd be bored stiff if I ate the same thing every day.

What is an unnatural plant-based whole food? Would that be a GMO?

Yes, I suppose it could be a GMO. I no longer eat corn for that reason.

Another one could be anything that's ground into flour or a powder: For example, they take natural whole wheat and grind it into a fine flour. When they do that, it's not whole anymore, it's unnatural and gets absorbed differently by our digestive system.

Another one is garlic powder or onion powder. It may taste good but doesn't have the same healthful effect on the body. The least amount of cutting is best. I cook whole garlic cloves, big or small. And I no longer dice onions. I might just cut one in quarters. I might try cooking a whole onion without cutting it at all. :)

I admit you sparked my interest. When you cook the whole onion rather than chopping, does it flavor the food you are cooking with the onion? We cook a variety of vegetables on the grill and cut them finding they flavor one another. Summer squash is a vegetable we enjoy, but has little flavor on its own.
