    I am more than jealous of all you guys who live in the land of choice. I can only dream of so much choice in a supermarket.

    Still, I believe I would weigh way more than I already do due to all those yummy things we don't have here in Australia. :embarassed:

    I didn't realize that in Australia you wouldn't have a lot of choices. Actually, we have too many choices here. The cereal aisles are long, but most of it is over-priced junk.

    What the heck are grape nuts, anyways? I didn't know grapes had nuts?

    well they do, and they're delicious. especially warm with milk or cream on them. honey too. slurp/yum!

    yes, warm is awesome with a bit of sugar! I may need to stop at the store on the way home!

    I love Cinnamon Burst Cheerios but they're hard to find. I also like Quaker Oatmeal Squares and Special K Chocolate Delight.

    I like to either make my own granola (simply google for the recipe), or I get different granolas from the Whole Foods bulk section.

    Only down side is that it is high in cals. I'm on a 1200 calorie max, and I can easily waste half of that on just granola and milk. Luckily I hit the gym for 1-2 hours each day, so I can still eat lunch and dinner.
    Did I read this wrong? You're a 160+ pound dude and you're planning to train for a marathon on 1200 calories a day?
    This!
    Good luck with your energy levels! I weigh 20lbs less and easily put away 2x+ that amount. On long run days it will be over 3,500. All I know is if I consumed that little of cals, I would barely be able to get out of bed. Just thought I'd put that out there.

    Back to cereals.

    frosted flakes
    cocoa puffs
    mini wheats
    lucky charms
    cookie crisp
    oreo o's

    They only come in tiny boxes though. Which is funny cause they never seem to run out, no matter how many bowls you eat. A handful in a cup of yogurt is pretty good too

    Eggs or oatmeal are a good starter for the day.

    Don't know if this available outside of Canada (well it is on amazon, but I don't know that that counts), but it is a really nice alternative to oatmeal

    Here are the ones I've enjoyed...on a varying level of 'healthiness' :laugh:

    - Special K (I have to throw in some dried fruit or it tastes boring to me)
    - Crunchy Nut Clusters (in the cupboard right now)
    - Uncle Toby's Plus Sports (chosen for its dried apple content, haha)
    - Rice Bubbles (also good dry with sliced banana...favourite childhood breakfast)
    - Milo Duo (because...chocolate? XD)

    Love, love, LOVE cereal. I tend to stock up on groceries when there is a product I like at a great price, so you know, I did a check on number of boxed cereal I had in the house -- an even dozen. Two boxes were open. The other TEN BOXES OF CEREAL were on deck. Oh, and I'm pretty much the only one in the house who eats cereal.

    There are four Edible categories and one Never Again category.

    1) Functional. These are cereals to be used in cooking.
    Short list of pretty much any of your unsweetened Chexes (rice, corn, wheat), Cheerios, and Corn Flakes.

    2) What DH likes. These'll be any of your sugared cereals:
    Cap'n Crunch, Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, Fruity Pebbles, Apple Jacks and so forth. To include all generic versions as well.

    3) High Fiber. For when I have to focus on regularity.
    Kashi, Shredded Wheat, Raisin Bran, Grape Nuts. Cannot contain fake sugars like Fiber One.

    4) What I like. This would be a listing of all other cereals. Some only get to make a rare appearance into the house, since they are hardly ever marked down enough to meet my price point.
    Life
    Quaker Cracklin' Oat Bran (each year comes in a progressively smaller blue box, may as well be crack)
    Basic 4
    Quaker Oat Squares (though the corn is good, too)
    Golden Grahams
    Raisin Nut Bran (omg, whatever that coating is around the raisins? I could just make a chaw out of it and have it all day long)
    Great Grains (all are fabulous)
    Puffins (the cinnamon one is yum-o)

    5) Will not buy again.
    Rice Krispies (do you know how small a bowl you have to use to get the milk-to-cereal ratio correct? Plus, they get soggy super fast.)
    Kix (may as well be the packing peanuts when you ship fragile items. Talk about flavorless.)
    Honey Bunches of Oats (these are actually tasty, but you have to eat them lickity-split, or they get completely soggy. Took too much effort to pour a little cereal. Pour a little milk. Eat. Repeat.)
    Frosted Flakes (incredibly sweet)
    Corn Flakes (use for cooking only, see #1 Functional, above)
    Fiber One, Fiber One Plus, Fiber One Plus More Fiber (whatever, they all seem to be artificially sweetened & leave an aftertaste)
    Honeynut Cheerios (though I'm told this is great for people who are allergic to corn)

    Like othersbefore , I excluded granola.

    Oh, and you know what? I have also tried shredded wheat.

    Shredded wheat
    Mini-wheats
    Frosted mini-wheats

    I HATED THEM ALL. You will too. So don't buy those.

    My favorites growing up. Topped with cling peaches from a can and whole milk!!

    In addition to oatmeal, I do Quaker Life Cinnamon and Bob's Red Mill 10-grain hot cereal.

    Can NOT eat cereal. If I have a bowl of cereal it turns into 2 bowls... and then just a half bowl more... then a couple scoops more... but then I need to finish the milk so I pour in more to "finish the milk". I am so weak when it comes to cereal. Especially Cinnamon Toast Crunch. :blushing:

    I loooooove Just Right....its naturally sweet so requires no sugars...has all kinds of grains and oats in it and the 3/4 cup serving is enough to keep you full through the morning to lunch. Paired with some fruit or string cheese its great!

    Kashi and Cascadian Farms are my favorite brands. I can get my favorite types of cereals, but organic. Mine and my sister's favorites right now are Strawberry Fields and Vanilla Island
