    Cereal is my weakness when it's kids cereals like Trix, Cinnamon Toast crunch, and Lucky Charms...so I stay away from those ones. I eat Fiber One 80 calorie honey squares, it's the only cereal I can stick to 1 cup of and it makes me satisfied.

    I grew up on healthy cereal (cheerios, grape nuts, weetabix). It really helps me eat in the morning when I first get up and am all groggy. These days I'm on Kashi Go-Lean. Very occasionally I'll have something like Cocoa Pebbles, but only for dessert, not for breakfast.

    Cereal is a 'snack' not breakfast. I'll have 2 of the big Shredded Wheat biscuits with some brown sugar and milk - sweet but not horrible for me ;)

    OMG I miss cereal. I can't be trusted with it in the house. I sleep eat cereal. I'll pass out on the couch at night and then wake up and shove handfuls in. True story. Crunchy Nut is my favorite food of all TIME! NOMMMMMM

    Not really.... since I don't like to drink cow's milk, it doesn't really pack enough protein for me. I also feel like the sugar high right after waking up doesn't really help me the rest of the day. I prefer eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese. If I want something carby I'll go for oatmeal.

    I don't eat cereal nearly as often as I used to before I got married. I rarely eat breakfast, but I used to often have cereal for dinner. But now I cook a meal every night so if I buy a box of cereal it usually goes stale before I finish it. I like a variety of cereals but look for those high in fiber and without an excessive amount of sugar.

    Kashi and Cascadian Farms have several cereals that I like.

    I generally eat 1-2 servings of cereal per day. I like it for snacks.

    Workdays I have my my breakfast after morning PT and it usually consists of Kashi bars (130-150 cal, 4 g fibre, 5-7 g protein depending on which one) and a banana. On the weekends I ususally have a bowl of Sally's Cereals (Whole Wheat Bundles - 55g has 200 cal, 7 g fibre, 6 g protein) with a half cup of skim milk one day and bacon & eggs with toast on the other.

    bottom line is if you want to loose weight and get fit and in shape per say.....cereal isnt the best option for breakfast. too much starch with not enough fibre in most cereal....id suggest oatmeal (original unsweetened) instead...it has very slow digesting carbohydrates giving you ample energy through out the morning and keeping you full for longer.

    ideally a protein heavy breakfast is the best way forward. Thats what i found has worked for me and keeps me full and energised through out the morning.

    I eat a 440 calorie bowl of cereal every morning.
    1.75 cups of Corn Flakes
    .25 cups of granola
    .5 ounces of sliced almonds
    with 1 cup of fat free milk. It is so good. I look forward to it every day!

    Keeps me full till past lunch. Sometimes I don't get hungry until 1 or 2.

    I am a big fan of cereal, especially peanut butter flavored cereal, but I don't eat it anymore b/c I find it doesn't fill me up with the amount of calories in it. I usually have hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, or a protein shake... which for me, fills me up till lunch time.

    I also like Fiber-one Honey Clusters....!

    ^^^ ditto - I mix them with the Fiber-One Original, half cup each, with light soy. Big fiber and a carb bump in the morning to carry me all day. :)

    I occasionally eat Special K Protein Plus... but, I typically eat oatmeal or eggs in the morning.
