Best Breakfast Cereals

I have micro porridge oats with 150ml of skimmed milk. I sprinkle a bit a cinnamon to it to give a bit of extra flavour. It keeps you full until lunch and is about 160kcal so not bad

I have Kashi Go Lean about 1x a week...otherwise I stick to whole grain cereal vs. processed. But the crunch is nice sometimes. The fiber/protein makes it filling. Having some right now with Greek yogurt and berries and flax oil.

Multi Grain Cheerios, Plain Cheerios or Special K Protein Plus with Almomd Breeze Unsweetened and a banana or Regular Oatmeal with Protein Powder, Flaxseed mixed with nuts or fruit

I love the kashi cereals. The 'Go Lean' cereals are my favorite. I use Silk soy milk with it.

I love Kix, Rice Chex, Rice Krispies, and if I am going for a little higher carb and calorie content I love Grape Nuts

- Oatmeal with skim milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon (hint from MFP)
- Vogels Soy & Linseed Ultra Bran - Australian, not sure if you get it any where else - tastes good, real crunch, high fibre, tastes sweet but 13g sugar per 100g
- Poached egg on toast no butter lots of pepper
- my home made muesli - delicious but it has sugar / oil / sesame seeds / sultanas etc in it so not low calorie - I could probably "fiddle" with it a bit ... mmm

I find it difficult to eat breakfast in the mornings so have coffee (now black NO sugar how good am I :laugh: ) and then take my cereal to work and eat that at morning tea instead of those creamy sugary biscuits lurking in the staff room. Been doing this for ages but I was taking Kellogs Sultana Bran, which I discovred hre on MFP actually is 22.7g sugar so no more!

I also eat oatmeal with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 2 egg whites (cooked in), and a little bit of almond butter mixed in after cooking.

I make it so it is 240 calories all together and so tasty and filling!

1/2 cup oatmeal = 140/150 cals depending on the brand
1/2 cup almond milk = 20 cals
2 egg whites = 34 cals
1/2 tbsp almond butter = 45 cals

As far as the cereals go, I also think it is a bunch of empty calories and chemicals. The problem also is that you'll be hungry so quickly after because the simple carbs are burned quickly leaving your tummy empty!

I like Muesli with yogurt and it fills me till lunch

Oatmeal!

Pretty much all of the boxed cereals are loaded with sodium!

maryjay51

i just stick to plain oatmeal with cinnamon and no milk in it for now

grobbygru

I make my own apple and cinnamon porridge - 30g of rolled oats (proper ones I can't do those quick cook ones - way too processed for me) a granny smith apple peeled and finely chopped and cinnamon all cooked as normal. It is awesome!!! Once I ate those packet - microwave I think they were apple/cinnamon oats - ickk - the way I cook this is WAY nicer and of course more healthy.

my weakness......

Cinnamon burst cherrios are my favorite. They aren't loaded with caloriez, and have 40% of your daily fiber in one cup. Plus they're very tasty

Special K cereal w/ a piece of Fruit

MariFitBody

I love...

Multigrain cheerios
Frosted mini wheats
Cinnamon life
Vanilla Almond Special K

Those are my favorites, I love a lot of cereal, but most of the others are not very nutritious.

Vanilla Almost Special K is amazing
So is Active Lifestyle Vanilla Almond, it has 10 more calories, but LOTS more vitamins!

I like Honey Nut Cheerios, maybe not the best but I was eating a large sausage patty, two fried eggs, hash browns, cheese on white bread with mayo for breakfest. So I figure its a improvemrnt.

I lost 38 lbs with no exercise and i included the following cereals:

Banana Nut Crunch Cereal
Fiber Plus Cinnamon Oat Crunch


Other meals for breakfast:

Weight Control Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal


as long as you incorporate skim/fat free milk with those cereals you are fine...

Nharley

My tried and true breakfasts are:

1) Special K Cereal (1 cup) with Almond Milk ( 1 cup) & 2 cups of coffee with a tblsp. of milk, divided = 203 cal./ 4g fat

2) Instant plain oatmeal (Mom's Best in the canister) 1/2 cup dry, mixed with hot water, 1 tblsp Jif All natural Peanut butter, 1 tblsp. honey, cinnamon, a grannysmith apple diced & my 2 cups of coffee with milk, divided = 302 cal./ 9g fat

3) Fruit smoothie with greens (such as spinach or kale w/o the ribs = nearly no calories or fat!

Multigrain Cheerios. I really like Special K Vanilla Almond and Special K Yogurt and Berries but I don't eat them a lot anymore because of the higher calories and sugar.

My trainer told me the best cereal is Kashi Go Lean (not the Crunch kind, too much sugar). I add a banana in it to add some sweetness. It's very filling and the serving size (52g) looks like a lot too!

FrankWorsley

For most people a very nutritious option is cracked wheat cereal. I choose Bob's Red Mill because it's readily available but, depending on where you live, there are many others.

Justjoshin

Kashi GoLean (original)...I eat it almost every day.

This.. but if it's too bland, the GoLean Crunch is healthy as well.

cmgehrke

homemade museli is your best bet. store bought cereals that are processed will turn into sugar in your body.

jennajava

I love Honey Chex.

CashierCantin

For not so nutritious cereal, I love Rice Krispies because of the volume you get for little calories (1 1/4 cup for one serving and its 130 cal before milk. I can usually squeak by on 2 servings for dinner when I am lazy).

For more fiber and grainage, I go for honey nut cheerios or multi grain cheerios. I can't get into the Kashi Go lean...tastes more like twigs and branches to me LOL

Bought some of that Fiber One 80 cal/serving cereal but haven't tried it yet.

I eat Special K with strawberries almost every day with skim milk. It fills me up until I have my late morning snack of greek yogurt or an apple.

knay112

I make a mix of 3/4 cup Kellogs All-Bran Wheat Flakes
and 1/4 cup Just Bunches for the sweetness and thecrunch.
I love to eat that with Fage 0% yogurt, so that it stays crunchy.

Total damage; 284 calories (17 Carbs, 5g Fat)
Wonderful at home, or even on the go!
I actually eat it for lunch every day...

Kashi Go Lean Honey Almond Flax.

It's 200 calories a cup, but it's very good for you and keeps you full for a while.

Any of the Kashi cereals seem to be good.
