Breakfast cereals?

I like frosted mini wheats (6g fiber per serving). I'll have a banana in it with unsweetened almond milk. It keeps me full.

Grape Nuts have about the most fiber

I really love raisin bran with a banana. Got me through early college mornings and I still often eat it!

Grape Nuts are my all time favorite, and they have a small amount of sugar which is great. 5g of sugar (most cereals have at least double that) and 7g of fiber.

I used to have a bowl of Fiber One cereal every morning. It did a great job with keeping me regular, but unfortunately did not fill me up. Now I eat a more substantial breakfast - bagel & cream cheese or ham, egg & cheese sandwich, and I try to get more fiber in during lunch and dinner.

ETA: Sometimes I'll eat the Fiber One chocolate cereal as an afternoon snack. Takes care of my chocolate craving and has added fiber for only 80 calories per serving.

If you are fat and love breakfast you will be fat FOREVER!!

Not true. Eat breakfast if it suits you. I was fat and I loved breakfast and now I'm normal bmi and I still love and eat a breakfast of 300-400 calories everyday.

P.S. I used to eat Fiber One original until I got sick of it. Now I eat oatmeal with Flax, plus an ounce of nuts, 1/4 c skim milk, a banana, and some protein powder.

It really doesn't matter if you eat breakfast or not. It's entirely up to the individual. If you're watching your calorie intake then there's no problem if you eat it or not.

Personally I am a big fan of breakfast and generally wake up with an appetite.

As for cereals most of them are pretty rubbish. Cornflakes is utilising a corn waste product which was sold for 'health reasons' (back in the day Kellog's had a religious/health farm and this is what they were given to eat). Before they mixed it with sugar they were meant to be really rough tasting - probably like hamster food. Once the sugar was added there was suddenly a reason to mass market the product...you know the rest.

Anyway - there is barely any cereal out there without added sugar. Kallo do rice puffs without sugar (be warned they do taste quite different to Rice Krispies). There's also a brand in the UK called Rude Health and they do cereals without refined sugar added. The reason I'm picking on the sugar aspect is because of the vast amounts added in the manufacturing of the cereal, the fact that it peaks your blood sugar levels which then leads to premature hunger. I couldn't eat processed cereal without needing a snack before lunch.

How about things like porridge? Or looking at some high protein, high fibre breakfasts to keep you satiated? Wholemeal toast? Eggs? Mmm....it's currently my breakfast time...

As people have mentioned All Bran has the highest fibre - however is loaded with salt.

From my reading over the years - your best bets with known cereals are Shredded Wheat and Weetabix just for lack of salt and sugar and the fibre content should be okay too.

I was fat and I love breakfast. Eat it every day.

Don't know if you're in the UK or not, or whether they sell these overseas, but Weetabix or Oatibix work for me, plus its easy to portion them out as its just 2 biscuits per serving. I add nuts, berries and skimmed milk for a tasty and filling breakfast.

all bran for me

You don't need breakfast for "fuel."

No you don't, but eating it does not adversely affect weight loss either like you believe

Shredded wheat is the closest US version.

I am a big fan of plain oatmeal for filling me up, keeping me from getting hungry, and avoiding a mid morning crash. I do 1/2 c. oats, 1 c. water, microwave 2 minutes, and sweeten a little with Splenda.

You don't need breakfast for "fuel."

The body has plenty.

If you are trying to lose weight, you DO need to get used to living with an empty stomach.

Skipping breakfast is a good way to begin.

More and more, it is becoming apparent that the stomach itself plays a large role in the obesity epidemic. The neurologic set-up of the stomach is like a small brain. If we continuously assault it with food, it wreaks havoc with out hunger and satiety set-points.

you are def not making any sense........I can eat all my calories for breakfast or I can eat them all for lunch, or dinner or snack........a cal is a cal is a cal.


So if I'm not binging at another meal....I can eat it whenever I want........and I wake up and look forward to a good protein filled breakfast.

I've lost over 150lbs.....and yes I enjoy breakfast.

Your stomach is not a fuel tank. It is a "pre-fuel" tank.

The real fuel is ATP, which can be made from stored fat and glycogen.

Most people can water-fast for THREE WEEKS at least and have all the ATP they need to function.

What you eat today is not needed to supply your energy needs for the day- though your body will preferentially metabolize your ingested carbohydrates first.

Glucose levels? Maintained by the process of gluconeogenisis.

Have a weight problem? You should NEVER eat breakfast.

Do some reading.

But... but... I read this other book that says if you skip breakfast you'll be fat forever! OH MY GOD WHICH BOOK DO I BELIEVE?!

OP, breakfast cereal is my favorite lazy go-to meal. I eat a double portion with whole milk. And chocolate syrup. My favorite high fiber one is Cracklin' Oat Bran, but my family won't let me eat it because it makes me poot.

I find oatmeal stays with me longer than any dry cereal but Cheerios (the original kind) is my favourite.
