    I like Ezekiel cereal and I like to add it to Greek yogurt too.

    Multi grain cheerios.
    - Sometimes I use 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup of oats.
    Add 1/2 cup of 1% milk, 1/2 banana and 2tbsp of Ground flax seed.

    I like to have 2 tbsp of cascadian farms organic cinnamon raisin granola (delicious, my fav granola) mixed with 3/4 cup cinnamon cheerios (even more delicious!) I've found mixing cereals (though weird at first) has helped me get the taste I want with less cals/sugar. Good luck!

    www.foodfacts.com :)

    This site has some great info on WHAT is really in your food.

    Raisin Bran scored a 49 - it has HFCS (yuck)
    Kix scored 67.

    For a processed food Kix scored pretty good! Good think I like Kix and not Raisin bran...lol

    I am quite liking Honey Readybrek (I hate porridge) and also Nestle Honey Oats and More. Shreddies are doable too and Weetabix is one of my regular breakfasts! :)

    Porridge is vile (IMO) when made with milk and sugar, but made with apple juice and a few sultanas & flaked almonds added, it's lovely. And great in the winter!

    I don't tend to eat cereals such as Weetabix etc. but I am rather fond of muesli - I go for ones with no added sugar. It's good with skimmed milk, but also good mixed with Greek yoghurt, for a more substantial and filling breakfast.

    plain oatmeal. i can add what ever I want to it, makes it exciting everyday. I love adding fruit.. I've added little bits of chocolate before for something sweet =D.. I've heard of putting eggs and stuff in it. I'm actually trying that tomorrow

    kashi whole grain puffs has the least calories of any cereal i've seen--just 60 per cup. i have mine with 1/4 cup of silk unsweetened almond milk (9 cals), and then if i want it to taste like something, i add a bit of sugar-free flavored syrup (no calories or carbs) to the milk. da vinci and torani are both good brands... lately i'm doing da vinci toasted marshmallow and it helps me pretend that i'm eating a bowl of lucky charms for 69 calories :)

    Cascandian Farms and Barbara's are good choices.

    Barbara's Puffins in Peanut Butter and Chocolate are my fav!

    I love oatmeal/porridge. I buy quick oats and cook it with water (just 2 mins in the microwave), then stir through just a little milk when it's done. The great thing about porridge is you can really vary it. I usually stir in some kind of fruit (frozen rasberries or chopped banana or sultanas/raisins) and often also add some chopped walnuts. The fruit gives me enough fast energy for my cycle commute to work and the oats and nuts are quite high in protein to get me through the rest of the day.

    If you're used to sweet cereals, you might like to try it with a little sugar to begin with (as brown sugar, honey, golden syrup or maple syrup) - at least you're in control of how much you add! Or perhaps a bit of fruit and maybe some cinnamon will be enough for you, like me!

    You know, I enjoy Crunch Berries at night, as dessert. I figure that it's better than fighting cravings for sweets, and I at least get some protein from my Lactaid.
    LOL

    I love steel cut oats. Make my own from scratch with 1/2 soy milk and 1/2 water, sweetener. I add the blue berries just at the end. I make a big batch and just portion it out with a 1/4 c measuring scoop. Usually 3/4 c with 1 teas peanut or almond butter and sometimes a dash of cranberries. It stays with me through most of the morning!

    My newest addiction of healthier cereals is Cascadian Farm Organic Multi-Grain Squares. Yum! Especially with blueberries.

    Recently I've been doing 1/2 cup of plain Cheerios and a 1/2 cup of Fiber One Original bran cereal mixed together. Knocks out my fiber requirement for the day and really fills me up. That plus 1/2 cup of 1% milk is only about 160 calories. Add some fruit, and you've got a pretty decent breakfast!
