    If you like Cinnamon Toast Crunch try Total Cinnamon Crunch, more vitamins, fiber, and less sugar and tastes the same. Love it. Also love Shredded Wheat, Kashi Berry Blossoms, any flavor Cheerios, Oatmeal, and Malt-O-Meal

    Kashi Go Lean Original. Low in calories and fat, and high in protein (13 grams).

    Strictly for taste, Cinnamon Burst Cheerios is the best. The calories aren't any worse than regular Cheerios.

    I LOVE THESE!!!

    totally recommend kashi go lean, like everyone else. it's a little less sweet than most cereal, but it's amazing with vanilla soymilk :) and PLEASE, if you love your tastebuds, also try nature's path organic flax plus pumpkin granola cereal. it's honestly so delicious, i could eat it all day, and its all natural and has tons of fiber.

    I could eat cereal for every meal. Some favorties are Wheaties Fuel, Quaker Oatmeal Squares (dry, they make a great on-the-go snack) Special K with red berries and Special K with the little chocolate pieces.

    Grape nuts! I usually eat anywhere from 1/2 cup to a full cup every day with skim milk - I have so much more energy - yes, they have lots of sodium and carbs, but they also have lots of protein and fiber too! On weekends, I like to cook oatmeal - I agree that it is the best, and I love it plain!

    Cool thread...

    I am lactose intolerent and I don't like Soy milk, so I eat my cereal dry. I like to mix Wheat Chex, with a small handful of cashews and almonds as well as dried cherries. It is a great meal for energy if I will be working out an hour or so after breakfast.

    On lazy days, I like to make CoCo Wheats. I will mix in some walnuts and dried cherries with a splash of 1% milk...I like to eat that on rest days as it carries my into lunch without getting hungry, especially if I throw in an overeasy egg on the side.

    a great cereal to have is oatmeal. its not exactly low carb but considering it has protein and fiber its a great way to start your day off!i eat oatmeal almost every morning 8 or 9 months out of the year

    I really like oatmeal too. I like to make it with a little bit of cinnamon, and use almond milk instead of regular milk or water. That ups the protein a bit, adds "good fat", and the almond milk is naturally sweet, so I don't need to add sugar.

    I like Nature's Path Mesa Sunrise with soy or almond milk. The cereal is gluten free too.

    I love Kashi Cinnamon Harvest. I also heard they have another one called berry squares, or something and it's 100 calories for 3/4 cup! I will be finding that one soon. :)

    It takes some cooking but if you make a big container of steelcut Irish oatmeal all at once, you can put it in the refr and eat from it all week. That with a cup of frozen wild blueberries: mmmmm. And it does stick to your ribs so you're not hungry in an hour.

    LOVE this thread! I am also a huge fan of cereal. Agree with others that Kashi Go Lean Crunch is fantastic! Most days however, I have oatmeal with some craisins or raisins and a touch of granola. Uggh, and the new Frosted Mini Wheats with a Touch of Fruit are delicious but definitely not the best for you with 10g of sugar and 190 calories per 21 squares.

    Oh, and love the idea of adding some protein powder to the oatmeal...I will def. have to try that now!
