Check your label on the Raisin Bran. Many of them have quite a bit of added sugar. (not trying to be a downer--just wanted to let you know). I love Raisin Bran. It is one of my favorite cereals and I was surprised to see how much added sugar there is. :brokenheart: I love plain spoon sized shredded wheat. :bigsmile:0

I love Special K Vanilla Almond, or Fiber Plus Cinnamon Oat crunch!! But I REALLY Love Peanut butter Captain Crunch...just can't eat it now!! LOL0
-
I like the Uncle Sam cereal, sweetened with stevia.
I also like the Kashi GoLean. It has 13g of protien and 10g of fiber.
Raisin Bran is FULL of sugar.0 -
I really love the Kashi Go Lean! Crunch cereal...that would have to be my favorite...and it's loaded with fiber.
I'll throw in blueberries or strawberries sometimes...great!0 -
I am quite liking Honey Readybrek (I hate porridge) and also Nestle Honey Oats and More. Shreddies are doable too and Weetabix is one of my regular breakfasts!0
-
My new is Strawberry Yogurt Cheerios... YUMMMMO! I eat 1.5 servings with 1 full cup of skim milk. I think it's like 270 calories :happy: Good luck!0
-
Cheerios for me most days....0
-
cheerios are my favorite!! my problem has always been that I eat waaaaaay more than a serving in one sitting. I like a BIG bowl!!!
I've also just started eating Kashi Go Lean Crunch mixed into my vanilla greek yogurt! pair with some strawberries, and this a delish light b-fast!!!0 -
I love cereal too! I've switched from Lucky Charms to Kashi Strawberry Fields -- organic, whole grain and only 9 grams of sugar and 120 calories per serving (1 cup)! I also really like the Kashi 7-grain flakes, but if you like sweet, go with the Strawberry Fields!0
-
My fav is Frosted Mini Wheats!!!!:smooched:0
-
I really like the Special K cereals and for a sweet treat I'll do their Chocolaty Delight brand - yum!0

Believe it or not, you might as well just eat the Cap'n Crunch.
Here is the nutritional info for the Raisin Bran: http://www2.kelloggs.com/ServeImage.aspx?BID=79989&MD5=9d8b4373dec3b978f1a00aa5dc442e4e
And for the Cap'n Crunch: http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-quaker-oats-capn-crunch-i8010
You may THINK there is less sugar in the Raisin Bran, but you'd be wrong. The Raisin Bran is 46g of Carbs. Forget about 'sugars'. Simple carbs are all sugars to your body. You can back out the fiber if you want to to get 'net carbs', but that still leaves you with 39g of carbs.
The Cap'n Crunch has 22.9 g carbs and less than one gram of fiber. Yes, that's right, LESS THAN HALF the carbs in the Raisin Bran. And again, simple carbs are all sugar to your body.0 -
KIX CEREAL is a good one. I was really surprised when I looked at the label but it's only 88cal per serving and 2g of sugar!! There aren't many others that have that little sugar!0
-
Shredded wheat or Kashi Autumn Wheat are my 'go to' since I can eat it dry at my desk at work. Takes me all morning to finish a serving and it's quite filling.0
-
Multi Grain Cherrios, Life, Fiber One has some New cereals that are good I think that Kelloggs Fiber plus would be yummy & Filling!0
-
I'm a fan of the Kashi lineup as well. I also like the Ezekial 4:9 cereals. Alot like grape nuts, but with a few different grains and some flavorings. I also don't do dairy so everything is with unsweetened soy milk.0
-
It's true. Unfortunately the raisin bran is one of the ones with really high sugar It used to be my favorite cereal! I try to get a lot of fiber in for breakfast. I like Kashi honey sunshine and the new cinnamon burst cheerios. They both have added fiber! My other favorites are honey bunches of oats and golden grahams! I don't eat those very often though because of sugar and wanting to up my fiber.
Oh editing to add I eat the kashi or cheerios dry on the go! It's perfect for a busy morning.0 -
I love Special K Vanilla Almond, or Fiber Plus Cinnamon Oat crunch!! But I REALLY Love Peanut butter Captain Crunch...just can't eat it now!! LOL
Ya!!special k vanilla almond is my fav. I've started eating it w so delicious's vanilla coconut milk instead of milk too [I get the 'juicebox' pack and just cut the box and pour it out]and it tastes like rice crispy treat cereal that they have or had when I was a kid for a while anyway. Also the special k chocholatey delight. I love that too mmmm0 -
