I would say have oatmeal instead of cereal, more healthy. But anything whole grain that does not have a lot of sugar should be okay.... I personally do not really like cereal and I would rather have a greek yogurt or eggs and toast in the AM.0
-
anything with alot of sugar and fruit will help you0
-
Kashi cereal brand has a lot of cereals to choose from. They have a few low calories ones as well.0
-
I for one am a big fan of Cheerios. Can eat a lot for few calories.0
-
I have to second the oatmeal suggestion. It's a lot more filling and you can add whatever you want to it.0
-
I like cheerios. Specially the ones with strawberries and/or banana added.
But I tend to change my cereal and breakfast in general. Eggs, ful (local dish with beans, lentils, oil, cheese, falafel, veggies and spices), or just bread and tea. Anything really.0 -
For me, only weetabix are worth eating. Whole wheat, fiber, great taste with vanilla soy milk!0
-
Kelloggs All Bran is good on different levels, fibre, filling, tasty... (I actually like it without the milk too)
But porridge works best.0 -

I do Special K. It's 110 calories a cup, not too overloaded with sugar, and you can buy it in really yummy flavors like chocolate and strawberry. I put about 1/4 of a cup of 2% on it, just enough to get it moist. I don't like a lot of milk.0

I have 30g of rolled oats, with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and a cup of unsweetened almond milk most mornings, around 320 calories and keeps me going all morning. But I'll have weetabix or oatabix for a change ( always with berries though). In the winter i have porridge made with water but a splash of almond milk on top. Eggs n toast are good too.0

Quaker puffed wheat is very low calories
1 cup = 40 calories only, good choice

Thanks guys x x x Will give all suggestions a go and see how I do :-)0

Weetabix!0

I like oatmeal with dried apricots and raisins. But I'm also a fan of Wheat Chex and Great Grains Raisin, Dates and Pecans.
I personally think you should eat whatever you like if it fits your macros, but I look for whole grains and breads/cereals that are higher in fiber and protein than sugar per serving.0 -
Cheerios with PB2, Soo good0
-
When I was focusing more on calories and less on my macros, I would have honey nut Cheerios but add cinnamon to it and have it with 30 cal vanilla almond milk-delicious. Now that I'm focusing more on my protein intake and eating a little more, I have the kashi cereal with 13g of protein for 1 cup and only 140 cals. Then I just dice some strawberries, throw in some fresh blueberries, add cinnamon, add my almond milk, and eat it with some sliced cantaloupe on the side.0
-
I personally love the plain old Cheerios and add cut up bananas or fresh blueberries. I also love the Special K cereals. My favorite of those is the one with the strawberries although the chocolate one is great for an evening snack.0

I always need to supplement a plain bowl of cereal or oatmeal with protein and fat. So like a serving of oatmeal with scrambled eggs or a serving of cereal with salami provolone roll-ups.0
