    I like my Special K Cereals and my Oatmeal.
    Satifies me, usually I add Strawberries or Blueberries to it.

    Reese's Puffs is the best cereal for me, because it's the one I like to eat the most at the moment. Sometimes it's special K w/strawberries and other times it's Cheerios or Lucky Charms.

    Don't eat a cereal you don't like just because someone proclaims it's good for you.

    I like Fiber One's 80 cal cereal; it's full of fiber and tastes good (especially with blueberries or strawberries)

    I just tried Special K with Strawberries this weekend and loved it.

    Don't hate on the muesli.
    I have 32 grams of Bob's Red Mill country style muesli almost every morning mixed in with my nonfat Fage greek yogurt and 113 grams of 2% cottage cheese.
    It's a super filling breakfast, high in protein, and sticks with me for the morning.

    I would swap the cereal for eggs and fruit...or better n peanut butter on whole grain toast. Get a little more bang for your calories.

    I don't know but I go for low sugar ones. Weetabix, Corn Flakes, Shredded Wheat etc.

    I thought muesli would be the best cereal for dieting but I'm wrong on that I've been told.

    I was going to include muesli in my diet but now I need another cereal, any ideas?

    I am going against everyone else's thinking, but NO cereal is a good cereal to eat.

    Why? To your body it's the same thing. If you're having cereal at all you might as well enjoy the flavour before your body turns it into sugar anyways.




















    Fruit Loops or Die!!!! :p

    You're just saying that to go against the grain :p

    One serving of Cap'n Crunch gives me 35% of my daily iron. Many nights I reach for it instead of ice cream when I need to scratch my sweet/dairy itch.

    The body only absorbs about 2% of the iron in any fortified food.

    I would rather get my iron from a spinach salad and a grass fed steak.

    Any food that has to be fortified with nutrients is not healthy to eat.

    Yes, I was going to say that, but I am too exhausted this evening to even debate the hate that comes from such a comment.

    I don't care about some professor that ate nothing but twinkies.

    I don't eat to count calories or lose weight. I eat for HEALTH and NUTRITION ONLY. I eat to heal my body. The weight loss that comes with this is merely a side effect.

    Therefore boxed, packaged, factory made food like items do not have a place in my house or in my body.

    So why even join the thread?

    You talk about health and nutrition but you quote bacon and eggs. SMDH

    I love special K.

    Also, Honey Bunches of Oats. I mix it with yogurt and cinnamon (sometimes fruit if we have the right fruits at our house) and it is heavenly!

    Cascadian Farms Organic Raisin Bran

    I use Pacific Brand Organic Oat or 7 Grain milk. Its delicious, if it wasn't so high in fiber I'd eat it all day!

    I also stick with lower sugar varieties as I find varieties with higher sugar content leave me ravenous shortly after.

    So for me, in Australia, it's either Weetbix (and yes, it is Weetbix over here... not Weetabix... is that a UK thing?), or porridge made from rolled oats.
    In a previous life I did love me some NutriGrain, or Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. Still nice as a treat though!
