I've recently become addicted to cereal and I know it my not be the healthiest option, but I am a recovering restricter and it is one of my foods I can eat and not feel bad about it so I'm going to eat it haha.

What type of cereals do you guys eat? I'm interested in trying a whole bunch of different kinds!

    Special K or Bitesize shredded wheat with a chopped banana is my favourite.

    I don't eat it because I don't like it enough to "waste" my sugar on it. My fiance really likes the Kashi protein cereals lately.

    I eat either Raisin Bran Crunch (because it does not get soggy) every morning faithfully or I have oat meal. It is fiber for the colon. It is my kick start to every morning. Then I finish off with a glass of low fat chocolate milk after my workouts so I can help my body heal.

    I love cinnamon grahams but I could seriously eat a whole box in a couple of days so I don't buy them anymore. My favourites are rice krispies, shreddies and weetabix.

    Hot cereal. Oatmeal. Steel cut oats. Recently tried kamut, and I like it. Am going to try cream of buckwheat also. Cold cereal grosses me out. I don't get it. If you want grains, cook them and eat them. If you want granola, eat a granola bar. If you want sugar for breakfast, well I have no response. Can't help there.

    Old Fashioned oats with cinnamon, ground flax seed, almonds or walnuts and raisins.

    I always gravitate towards the really sugary ones like Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, etc.

    But I always struggle with my sugar intake, so I've been trying to swap them out for boring "adult" cereals. As a result, I don't eat cereal very often anymore, probably only once a week, now.

    Quaker Oatmeal Squares! (I usually end up eating them as snacks or dry for breakfast.)

    None. Have never taken to cereal!

    I know it won't "kill" you, but it ain't the best thing for you either. Try egg whites!

    Barbara's Shredded Oats or bite size shredded wheat with banana or blueberries.

    But I'm always hungry within 2 hours of eating cereal (other than old fashioned oatmeal or steel cut oats), so I rarely do so these days.

    I was eating store own versions of Special K or Bran Flakes but found there are less calories in two slices of toast so stopped eating cereal.

    THIS. And on top of this, cereal is one of those foods I could eat and eat and never feel full.
    For my own sake I switched to a different quick breakfast option; those high protein yogurts are pretty handy. Fage/ Chobani/ Danio. Honestly these keep me going through to lunchtime better than even oatmeal.

    Though given the choice the sugariest chocolatiest crunchiest junk cereal in whole milk YES PLEASE

    I just tried the fiber one chocolate cereal and really liked it, and only 80 calories a serving! I was eating it with milk and dry as a snack when I wanted something sweet.

    Stock up! It has an awesome shelf-life unopened.

    I eat generic grape-nuts with yogurt. Plain and plain. If I get sugary cereal, I will down the entire thing in 2 days.

    Not a cereal fan, and when I do have it it's always Reeses Puffs! XD

    I do treat myself to a bowl of the chocolatey goodness on Saturday mornings sometimes.

    Sprcial K Protein or Fiber One Chocolate (I eat this as a snack, not as cereal).

    Regular Cheerios. 120 calories for a cup of cereal and half cup of unsweetened almond milk. I usually eat this as a snack or have some hardboiled eggs to go with it.

    Almost every morning I start with old fashioned oatmeal (steel oats just take far too long to cook) with fresh berries. A few times a month I'll have a bowl of whole grain high fiber cold cereal for a change of pace.

    I love cereal haha. Right now I'm sticking to Kashi's original flavored protein cereal because I get 13g of protein for a cup of it. Then I just add cinnamon, blueberries, and diced strawberries and eat it with almond milk. I'm a huge fan of raisin bran though, but if I got it I'd eat it all in one sitting hahaha
