I think so, but not everyday. The most important is the balance, so once in a while you can eat pancakes and waffles, but don’t make it a every day thing.
You could probably still have pancakes or waffles if you use a healthy recipe with low sugar, and you could top them with fresh fruit and/or cream or yoghurt.
My man adores home sweets, so I cook them 😏 But it’s always an option to eat them for lunch 😂😂 I like healthy breakfasts., for example, nuts with an apple. And I am really shocked that it works - I don’t feel hungry for 4 hours after that..
Definitely. You could make up the batter using white flour alternatives and sweeten using fruit. Or just enjoy the subtle flavour of a naturally sweet pancake without syrup.
If I did, I would do it sparingly. I’m on Weight Watchers and due to the high fat and sugar counts it would be to many points.
Well to be honest, I try to have a balance diet. So in my culture we don’t really eat waffles or pancakes for breakfast. Usually I eat fruit tea whole whet bread with butter. I don’t drink milk only the vegetables ones. If I eat waffles for breakfast I try to do it as healthiest As possible. a bit of butter. Another times I make my own spelt bread with some smoothie.
Syrup is a sugar but pancakes & waffles are carbs that are also converted into sugars by your body. Eating these will cause you to crash & become hungry again before lunch. Your breakfast should contain fiber, fruit, & be high protien to avoid a sugar crash & keep you satiated until lunch.
The app has some great alternatives, sugary things aren’t great at keeping you full all morning which is the goal. Try to avoid them, or if you really love your pancakes try a recipe that includes protein powder to keep you full. They often have less sugar then, you can use Greek yoghurt as a tasty topping or some berries, they’re nice put of season frozen too.
I believe you can have anything for breakfast. As long as it fills your body and if you make sure you have some form of protein to help you til lunch. Eggs, bacon, protein shake, etc
Yes, I would say that it’s important to eat foods you really like. That being said I wouldn’t consider pancakes to be healthy - there’s not much nutritional value. Limiting the syrup is a good start though!
