What's your favorite "healthy" cereal? Just curious.

I eat store brand puffed wheat cereal. It's healthy and only 60 calories per cup and 0 sugar. I add a little fruit as a filler and 1/2 cup fat free milk. Yummy!
I also enjoy Store brand hot oatmeal with apples and cinnamon. It is very good also. Only 110 calories per packet.

So sugar makes cereal unhealthy and because it's fortified with vitamins and minerals those are actually crap?

Cereal is a processed food. If you want to fool yourself into believing it's good for you, that's your call. Sorry if what I'm trying to get at, is not coming across.

I'm sure you probably believe your water from the facet / bottle is natural too, huh? lol.... you have no clue.

Processed or not, it doesn't make a difference. And how is this... cereal... so bad for us? If I eat a bowl a day will I die a slow agonizing death? Will I lose MAH GAINS? Will my deadlift drop down to 500?!?!?! Will my squat drop? Will my butt hurt after the bathroom?

The only cereals I eat now are Honey Nut Cheerios and Life. Also Nature Valley Protein Granola that I mix with Greek yogurt.

All Bran, Multigrain cheerios + ancient grains, and Special K with Red Berries. I agree it doesn't always fill me up, but in a pinch it works. Just make sure to have snacks on hand and add fruit if you can. My "goal" is always to have three food groups in a meal, and it seems to work well for me... so far.

cheerios preferably the honey ones. I eat them dry as a snack, I just have to make sure I put some in a bowl rather than eating them from the box.

Also love porridge with honey.

Mmmm!!!!

Kashi Go lean. It's yummy!!

I like this granola cereal by Cascadian Farms. Has a good balance of all the granola-y things I like. I don't eat it all the time, though, cause it ain't exactly low calorie lol.

I love peanut butter cheerios with diced bananas sprinkled with cinnamon. For my milk I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk and 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein powder mixed in my shaker then pour it on top of the cereal and cinnamon bananas so the flavors all meld together.

Cereal is fine for weight loss, as with everything else it's just a matter of meeting not exceeding your calorie goal every day.

All the cereals I really love I can't have anymore due to being coeliac, I pretty much used to eat Cheerios by the frickin' barrel and I think for a while I was almost becoming part-Weetabix due to how much I loved it. Now, there are certain brands of cereal I can have that don't contain gluten, mainly gluten-free corn flakes. It's hard to go wrong with a big bowl of corn flakes and ice cold milk! This thread is making me want cereal, lol.

Chocolate Cheerios.

MKEgal

Special K protein chocolate, or Chex chocolate.

Could you list, say, a half a dozen foods that haven't been processed?

Could you explain which part of the processing of cereal, or how the fact that it generally contains some sugar, makes it not good for you?

My 300g of cereal was pretty filling.

I like cereal dry for a snack, I love a bowl of multigrain cheerios in the evening. I figure it's better than a bowl of potatoe chips

I eat the same cereal regardless of whether or not I am trying to fit into my skinny jeans. I always go for the hot cereals like steel cut oats. Pretty much any version of oatmeal is my go to.

hiswaywardgirl

I'm not a fan of sugary cereal, but I like oatmeal. Steel-cut oats are supposed to have the lowest impact on your blood sugar, but they take forever to cook. I like them with a banana, fruit, or honey -- and maybe some milk.

GoLean Crunch was my old standby, but I'd find myself eating it out of the box like a snack. Also... Lucky Charms. Those little pastel marshmallows. MMM.

Floridanudist

Blueberry Morning, though it sticks to me so I don't eat it very often.

llUndecidedll

Well, I'll just list my favorite cereal in general:

Raisin Bran, Corn Flakes, Honey Bunches of Oats, Honey Nut Cheerios, Frosted Mini-wheats, Cocoa Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, granola... I think that's it.

I haven't eaten cereal in a while because I feel like for the calories, it doesn't fill me up.

Krave, I love chocolate!

MyChocolateDiet

Grape nuts. For obvious reasons.

Have you tried overnight oats or cooking them in a crockpot? Check for recipes either on Google or here on the site...I posted some a while back.

Yasss. + cinnamon.

I looked at a box of Grape Nuts in the cupboard the other day (not mine) and was surprised at how many calories those little grape nutty things had. I don't even eat cereal. I don't know why I'm on this thread.
