    The trick with cereals is portion control! I couldn't live without them.

    I eat Uncle Sam's and Kashi Go Lean. Uncle Sam's is really good for you and low sugar! Full of fiber and healthy fats. You should try some!

    I eat one serving (1 cup) of Kashi Go Lean with 1/2 cup fat-free milk every morning. It's very tasty and has a good amount of protein. I wouldn't eat it at night though. You don't need to eat a bowl of cereal at night.

    I like cereal, but don't generally eat it because it leaves me starving an hour later. Sometimes when I am craving a bowl I will have one as a snack at night.

    Why would it matter if cereal is eaten in the morning or at night? I mean do you limit tomatoes to dinner or a sandwich to lunch?

    I don't eat the commercially prepared ones because they are kind of expensive. In the winter I just have a bowl of cooked hot scottish oats with some nut butter and apples, and in the warm weather I sometimes make my own granola style cereal.

    Just go to bulk foods in your grocery or natural foods store. You can get puffed grains like brown rice, millet, etc. and/or rolled oats, barley, whatever you want. You can toast them, or not (to toast lay them out on a cookie sheet and pop in a 200 degree oven for about 10 minutes - just keep an eye out because they burn). Toss in a large bowl with chopped nuts, dried fruit if you like. And then for flavoring, I'd heat nut butter and honey (or maple sugar) in a pot on the stove, stir, and fold into the grain/nut mixture. Yum!

    You can make loads of cereal for the cost of one box. It freezes very well too, so you don't have to worry about it going stale.

    i like total cereal.

    100 calories per serving and you get a big dose of vitamins.

    I eat giant 4 cup bowls of cereal 4-5 times a week. Right now I'm doing 2 cups of Cherrios mixed with 2 cups of Fiber One Honey squares. Pure awesomeness. In fact I'm going to have that tonight. It's all about calories in vs. calories out.

    No, cereal does not fill me up. I would have to have several portions.

    Almost every day, I have a 2 or 3 serving bowl of an unsweetened cereal like cheerios, corn flakes, or rice krispies. You can have a huge amount for not many calories. I add a little sugar and some unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Even if I'm ravenous and have a huge a huge serving, it amounts under 400 calories.

    Multi-grain cherrios...I keep a box of them in my desk at work to fill in for breakfast if I don't have time to get something else. A cup is only 110 calories and really fills you up.
