Yogurt with cereal gave young women three times more protein and only a quarter of the fiber compared to coconut cereal — even though both meals had almost the same calories and carbs.
Scientific Claim
A breakfast of Greek yogurt with granola provides three times more protein and four times less dietary fiber than a breakfast of cultured coconut product with granola in young women, despite similar total calories and available carbohydrates.
Original Statement
“While there were no differences in food intake between the caloric treatments consumed to satiation, protein intake was 3 times higher and fibre intake was 4 times lower after the dairy compared with nondairy treatment.”
