ANY SEINFELD OBSESSIVE knows Jerry's "usual" at Monk's: a bowl of Cheerios. Jerry Seinfeld has sprinkled his enduring appreciation for cereal and other processed breakfast foods-throughout his work. He even made a whole movie about Pop-Tarts, the Netflix comedy Unfrosted, out now. Don't get us wrong, we stand by the high-protein breakfasts in the pages that precede these. But when you want to recapture the childhood joy of sneaking into the kitchen after bedtime to tear into some Froot Loops, Seinfeld is here to tell you how to do it right.
MEN'S HEALTH: You're famously a lover of breakfast foods. How did it start?
JERRY SEINFELD: You just cannot believe what I ate as a child. I would have cereal in the morning, Pop-Tarts in the afternoon.
Then I'd eat a little bit of lunch, but I hated it. And I would never eat dinner.
My mother would make dinner, I'd have a couple of bites, and then I'd push it away.
But before bed, I'd make another gigantic bowl of cereal. I was eating a lot of Entenmann's, which was on top of the refrigerator. I mean, just nothing but junk.
MH: How do you eat now?
JS: I can't eat now like I used to when I was akid-or even when I was doing Seinfeld, when I was in my 30s and early 40s. I would still eat absolutely anything, anytime I wanted. So I really had an incredible free ride. I never learned anything about [healthy] eating until I was in my 50s.
Then I decided it was time to find out what you're supposed to eat.
