Belvita or the traditional breakfast?
-
The Belvita Breakast biscuits and the traditional breakfast both have their side points. The Belvita biscuits with supplement contain a lot less protein, which means that the saturation will be less high, so that people will eat more quickly. The traditional breakfast contains more fat and more saturated fat. The main reason for the higher saturated fat content is because the traditional breakfast contains 30+ cheese. When an alternative is chosen such as lean meat products and sweet / savory spreads, the saturated fat content in breakfast can be reduced. However, it should be taken into account that breakfast must contain a dairy product.
