Cereal?

Is there such a thing as actually healthy cereal? It seems like everything is so sugar loaded and worthless nutritionally.

I love natural granolas but they seem so high in calories that I've been apprehensive! I've heard of plain old oats. Is this a good option?

I like Weetabix with vanilla almond milk.

I'm a big fan of corn bran. 120 calories for a cup, and it fills me up and keeps me full!

I don't really have an answer because I was just at the grocery store reading labels and thinking the same thing myself. I am watching carbs more than calories, and recently discovered almond milk, but can not find a cereal low enough in carbs to enjoy it with!

Porridge is probably the best nutritionally but in general most aren't total rubbish. I think people get caught up in whole carbs saga and forget that any complex carbs (yes even white carbs) still have quite a bit of nutritional value. Basically, most cereals are a 'good choice', any low sugar cereal 'a better choice', wholegrain cereals 'best choice'.

Personally I'm not a cereal fan other than porridge and I find that takes too long. But on the two days in a year that I actually feel like cereal (yeah I have a lot of wasted boxes!) I tend to have 30g cereal which is usually the suggested serve anyway and then a full cup of milk (not all on the cereal) which helps keep me full longer.

I'm a O's and Krispie fan, and have just started with the weight control oatmeal.
Not sure about the sugar in them, but the oatmeal is wonderful, keeps you full all morning!

You are right---"plain old oats" are awesome.

kashi go lean is good in summer with yogurt and fruit. in winter, I do plain oatmeal with a half cup of frozen fruit mixed in
