    Steel Cut Oats. Forget the processed crap in a box!

    Why forget it? If you enjoy it, and account for the calories, why not have it?

    One man's crap is another man's staple!

    Porridge, Weetbix/Vitabrits and Oat Brits are my low sugar cereal staples. Plain Rice Bubbles/Rice Puffs aren't too bad on sugar either. Most other cereals seem to be loaded with sugar (including Cheerios, sigh).

    I am not sure if you can get this where you are (or anywhere outside of Australia), but I have this most mornings, is it called Protein 1st (by Goodness Superfoods). I find it is a great high protein, high fibre, and relatively low carb cereal. Doesn't tast too bad either! I have mine with some seeds and fruit most mornings, great for after a workout.

    If you want to have a look at the website to see where it might be available: goodnesssuperfoods.com.au

    and no, they are not paying me, I'm just happy to have found a cereal that fits with what I wanted nutritionally in the morning.

    While I do eat a lot of oatmeal, I'd have to say Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs take my #1 spot.

    But, if you need to track sugar I'd not recommend them.

    My favorite cereal is Nature's Path Organic Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola. It is not too sweet. I swear it must have something addictive in it. Yum!!!

    oats for sure!

    Do you get vitabrits? They aren't overly sugary.

    All the other ones I see, I use to up my carb/cal intake to put on weight. I don't know how anyone could call one serving of captain crunch with skim milk a "meal". Fills me up for about 3minutes :tongue:

    Captain Crunch... Just kidding. My favorite is Oatmeal or Kashi

    ^ That. I stay away from kids cereal on a cut now, not because I think it's bad, but because I have harder time fitting 4 servings into my macros.

    Having had to follow a diabetic diet while pregnant (up to 8 weeks ago) I had to go for completely sugar free breakfasts and the only options that worked were oatibix or weetabix. I prefer oatibix, and it's what our other daughter eats as it's better for her skin so it's in the house and easy!

    Anyway, it tastes BLAND by itself so I always add something - a chopped banana if I can afford the calories and/or a sprinke of cinnamon makes it much better! Cinnamon tastes good but is also apparently good for regulating use of blood sugar.

    For my daughter we add some sugar free jam, she laps it up and it's still low cal so I'll be trying it myself too! She also loves it with a few blueberries.
    I find on days I eat anything else for breakfast I'm struggling to have calories for dinner, whereas when I eat oatibix I can afford snacks before bedtime and even an extra meal!
