my wife and I made cream of wheat for dinner last night after being lazy and found that there was a lot of calories and very little nutrition ugh

    Yeah I gave it up for similar reasons, so I feel your pain. I figure it's ok as a once in a blue moon treat though, especially if I can cut the cals by using skim milk, and use stevia instead of sugar to sweeten.

    Try oat bran- it's the same consistency as cream of wheat and less cals

    It's just wheat, what did you expect :p

    Maybe you will find polenta better suited to your needs. I eat it as often as I can <3

    You could...look up foods before you eat them.
