    I had to cut out cereal almost completely, not because I think it's "bad" but because I couldn't stay full enough on the amount of calories I was getting from it. However I do make a mean Greek yogurt parfait that always includes Grape Nuts (and almonds, and banana slices, and strawberry jam!!).

    I love cereal, but I'm kind of a purist in that I don't like the "sugared" ones. Cheerios, Special K and Rice Krispies are my favorites.

    Kashi Go Lean, I like the protein content and the taste is just a little sweet, not too sweet.

    Corn flakes and coco pops, especially with sliced banana and some of my son's gold top milk.

    They're not inherently unhealthy, but they don't fill me up anywhere near as well as oats, weetabix or eggs. I then end up eating several servings.

    I remember doing weight watchers many years ago and being shocked when I first learned what recommended serving size amounts to. You do get quite a few coco pops to be fair, but still, I can put away a lot of cereals. And I only drink full fat milk, so there's that too.

    Sorry - just noticed the title 'healthy', I'd still go with cornflakes or weetabix. I eat a lot of weetabix.

    Weet-Bix, and old fashioned oatmeal. Both are not ridiculously high in sugar, provide good amounts of fibre, and keep me full for hours. :)

    Rice Puffs (1cup = 50 calories) with Silk Unsweetened Original or vanilla almond milk (1 cup =30 calories and no sugar)
    I do add bananas at times and it does keep me full plus it is great as a snack later in evening

    Lactaid 2 % Lactose Free Milk - 100% Lactose Free, 0.5 cup
    Kashi - Go Lean Crunch - Honey Almond Flax - 28 grams
    Cheerios - Cinnamon Almond Protein - 55 grams
    Strawberries - Raw, 0.5 cup

    My breakfast this morning. I tend to eat this, as it gives me a sufficient amount of carbs before I head out on an 8-10 mile run. If I don't get enough carb before my run, I'm dead 1/2 way in!

    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 just look for whole grain (for fiber) low sugar. I'm usually adding it to something for good protein numbers.

    The chicory root in FiberOne (flavored cereals) gives me really bad gas. So I usually go with Grapenuts mixed with Greek yogurt, or Kashi GoLean Original mixed in yogurt. Some of the flavored Kashi's have chicory root too, so I have to be careful.

    Grapenuts...and they have to sit there and soak up the milk so that's they're just slightly crunchy.

    I like corn flakes with a banana or a 1/4 cup raisins mixed in. I eat quick oatmeal or cream of wheat in the winter. Yum.

    I like Fiber One protein cereal.
    It's guaranteed to help you lose weight and tone up.

    STEP 1: eat 1 bowl of Fiber One cereal every day
    STEP 2: exercise hard and smart
    STEP 3: eat according to MFP recommendations

    This is how Fiber One cereal works for me... :D

    I love the special k chocolate strawberry cereal :)

    Also love HONEYCOMB! The calorie count in it really isn't that high. 1 1/2 cups has 130. I put some almond milk over it...bam. Delicious. Also room left for bacon or maybe even some pancakes or waffles because counting calories rocks :D
