    careful when looking for cereals. they contain a lot of sugars. look for one that is 5 grams or less. also look for the amount of fiber and calories.

    I recommend switching off of cereal for breakfast. I stopped eating cereal and now I have smoothies for breakfast. I use Unsweetened Flax Milk for the omega 3's and it's also only 25 calories per cup. I add hemp protein, kale, banana, strawberries, kiwi, or whatever other fruit I have on hand.

    Frosted Mini Wheats
    Love!!! But so easy to eat too many calories with that one! I also like Special K with protein.

    Why do you recommend switching off?

    Kashi Go Lean is my favorite, and it's also filling so I"m full until lunchtime.

    I try to stick with Raisin Nut Bran or Frosted Mini Wheats, but sometimes those pesky Fruity Pebbles or Frosted Flakes sneak in my buggy.

    One serving of Cap'n Crunch gives me 35% of my daily iron. Many nights I reach for it instead of ice cream when I need to scratch my sweet/dairy itch.

    The body only absorbs about 2% of the iron in any fortified food.

    I would rather get my iron from a spinach salad and a grass fed steak.

    Any food that has to be fortified with nutrients is not healthy to eat.

    http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html

    I don't care about some professor that ate nothing but twinkies.

    I don't eat to count calories or lose weight. I eat for HEALTH and NUTRITION ONLY. I eat to heal my body. The weight loss that comes with this is merely a side effect.

    Therefore boxed, packaged, factory made food like items do not have a place in my house or in my body.
    So why even join the thread?

    You talk about health and nutrition but you quote bacon and eggs. SMDH

    There is absolutely nothing unhealthy about eating fresh bacon (not from a grocery store) and farm raised eggs over some factory made, non-nutritional food like substance that has to be fortified with nutrients the body will not even absorb.

    Yes, I was going to say that, but I am too exhausted this evening to even debate the hate that comes from such a comment.

    My comment wasn't hateful, it was an attempt at humour. If I had to choose the healthiest breakfast I could it would be 2 pastured eggs fried in butter from a grass fed cow alongside a few pieces of bacon also from pastured animals and a few ounces of raspberries. The question, however, was about cereal not breakfast.

    I didn't take your comment as hateful............I was saying I didn't want to debate with others if I would have stated that comment.

    As my Dietician and Doctor state........people need to wake up to what we have been told is healthy and get with the program.

    I was merely letting the OP know that if she thinks she is eating for health, she is not.

    For 1 cup of cereal, that is not bad!
    I just had Fiber One Honey Cluster cereal. It was amazing and I'm not a huge cereal eater. Serving size ia 1 Cup and it's 160 calories, 1.5g fat, 44g carbs (high I know), 13g fiber (higher than most cereals) and 3g protein. I think it's a pretty good choice but that's my opinion.

    I love eating my Kashi Honey Almond Flax. Not only high in fibre like many other cereals out there, but high in protein as well! :) I like to eat it with my Almond Milk and sprinkle on some ground chia and flaxseeds for additional fibre!

    I don't know but I go for low sugar ones. Weetabix, Corn Flakes, Shredded Wheat etc.

    Why? To your body it's the same thing. If you're having cereal at all you might as well enjoy the flavour before your body turns it into sugar anyways.




















    Fruit Loops or Die!!!! :p
    :P
    I do enjoy it thanks. I wouldn't eat it if I didn't. The milk and blueberries I add make it plenty sweet enough.
    I'd love to eat Fruit Loops every day, and do have a box in the kitchen, but I'm trying to cut down on sugar intake.
