    Puffed wheat or puffed rice. Haven't had it in a few years but I think one cup is 60 cal. It does taste alittle flat. I added a little brown sugar or some maple syrup. Love cereal !!

    40g of plain oats is around 143 calories. Probably the most filling cereal I've found. Again, a sprinkle of protein powder will help bulk it up.

    Is the milk that much of a thing? I ask because, for me, I really liked having cookie crisp, but as it turned out, the milk was a very small part of my enjoyment--cutting that out was must easier than changing cereals. Eating 60g of that was only 260 cals and it was really enjoyable.

    I like porridge, chopped banana, chopped dates and a drizzle of my protein maple syrup :-) today it's 336 calories with a 70g banana and 20g dates.

    Cereal isn't cereal without milk :lol:

    The only cereal I eat anymore is Weetabix (usually with Greek yogurt), and oatmeal. Nothing else fills me up for the calories, and it would just guarantee that I'd be hangry all day.

    I can't do almond milk in cold cereal, I just find it nasty, but it's what I use in oatmeal.

    All week I have eaten 1 cup Special K with red berries(well, the walmart brand because I'm cheap lol), with 1/2 original almond milk, and a string cheese. 220 calories, 13 grams of protein, and I'm not staring at the clock all day waiting for lunch time. :)

    Most cereals to me are a pleasure food - I eat it because I like the taste, but it doesn't do much for me as far as filling me up. If I want to have a filling cereal I go with fiber one brands - they have some good stuff. There's also special k with extra protein.
