What is the best cereal?

Mpol2

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.

You're just saying that to go against the grain

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 like Toasty Os. I usually eat them as a snack at work.

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.

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!

palaeolithic people ate grains

Weetabix with a small serving of skimmed or semi skimmed milk (100-150ml)

Oatmeal 1/2 Cup with water (add to make texture as you want) and a teaspoon or 2 of stevia.

Or wholemeal toast and a scrambled egg white. or 2 and 2 if you feel you need something a bit more.

My comment wasn't hateful, it was an attempt at humour. If I had to choose the healthiest breakfast I could it would be 2 pastured eggs fried in butter from a grass fed cow alongside a few pieces of bacon also from pastured animals and a few ounces of raspberries. The question, however, was about cereal not breakfast.

I love cereal but I rarely eat it now. If I do i'll have special K with a chopped up banana.

i'm on the original kashi go lean train. good carb to protein ratio, and a good amount of fiber.

i also like regular ol' cheerios. i will always keep cheerios in my cupboard.

Special K Protein

I just had Fiber One Honey Cluster cereal. It was amazing and I'm not a huge cereal eater. Serving size ia 1 Cup and it's 160 calories, 1.5g fat, 44g carbs (high I know), 13g fiber (higher than most cereals) and 3g protein. I think it's a pretty good choice but that's my opinion.

Oh a paleo person telling everybody the are doing it wrong when it comes to eating. How weird, you never see that.

I like HoneyNut Cheerios but they are high in sugar. I also like plain Cheerios - they aren't too bad and they really have helped lower my cholesterol.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the best!

careful when looking for cereals. they contain a lot of sugars. look for one that is 5 grams or less. also look for the amount of fiber and calories.
