I know cereal isn't best for weight loss, but I only eat a cup with skim milk and its not even every day so I don't feel too bad indulging..I recently got the fiber one 80 calories chocolate cereal and I have found that it's more cocoa flavored than sugar flavored, which I like because i don't feel as guilty, lol.

What's everyone's favorite cereal when dieting?

    I love Corn Flakes, and if I'm craving sweets, it's frosted flakes to the rescue. I am weird though, because cereal is not a breakfast food for me, it's a late evening snack.:)

    I don't like cereal enough to fit it in. But, if I have nothing else to eat... I suppose... Grape Nuts with honey. It's like SWEET ROCKS! :#

    All bran with some sugar (10g of fibre for one serving + 8g protein from the milk). The other cereals here don't have much nutrition so if I eat them, it's just as a treat and not as a meal.

    why isnt cereal best for weight loss?

    all you need for weight loss is a calorie deficit?

    Barbaras Multigrain Spoonfuls, 3/4 cup serving is 120 calories.
    I eat it with unsweetened organic soy milk.
    Yummy.

    Corn flakes. I don't eat cereal everyday but when I eat, I eat adding walnuts, raisins, banana with 2% milk and handful of cereal. Yummy.

    Count Chocula.

    Because no foods are "best" or "worst" for weight loss on their own. The only thing bad for weight loss is a calorie surplus. Plus, cereal is fortified with vitamins.

    Homemade Bircher muesli.

    It's easy to knock up a big batch and prefer it to the pre packaged stuff which usually has more calories per equivalent serving, is less filling and doesn't taste as nice. No brainer really.

    I am loving Total these days. Add a little banana and/or strawberries in for sweetness. Only 100 calories and really good numbers on the micros.

    If I'm having cereal at all I'm going with something delicious and already in my cupboard, which with my kids' latest cereal preference leaves me with Golden Grahams. I may or may not have made S'mores Cereal Bars by modifying the Rice Krispies Treats recipe a little... and they may or may not have lasted until the kids got home from school...

    Honey Graham Oh's from Quaker, and their Oatmeal Squares ( I think is the name). Not super healthy, but oh so yummy

    I like any type of shredded wheat. I like it plain as a meal with banana and milk. But for dessert I love the Maple Brown Sugar Frosted Mini Wheats.

    Steel cut oats with dried apricots, almonds and milk. Don't do it often, but love it.
