    There's nothing good or bad about eating cereal. In fact, I had a bowl of Special K Protein almost every day for breakfast as I dropped down to my goal weight.

    The bad thing about losing weight, though, is having to skip second breakfast. :\

    i absolutely don't think cereal is bad, regardless if you eat at a deficit you should loose. :)

    keeping it low cal i like cornflakes with skimmed milk and a banana on top
    the same with porridge.

    Cracklin Oat Bran

    Oh my, yes. I can't be trusted around this. I could eat the whole box no problem.

    Sadly I had to give up on all of them due to containing grain.

    I don't really like cereal...that said, whether or not you eat cereal is pretty much irrelevant to whether or not you lose weight.

    I eat oatmeal on occasion, but that's about it cereal wise.

    Wow! I totally forgot about Cracklin Oat Bran. Good grief that stuff is sooo good. I pretty much like all cereal and eat it all dry, but if I had to pick a favorite....... Honey Bunches of Oats with almonds or Cheerios Protein Cinnamon Almond.

    I have never been able to eat just cereal for breakfast though. I need something that sticks a little longer. But it's a great evening snack (or yogurt mix-in) if I can keep it under control!

    healthy cereals is an oxymoron.
    a protein shake can have less cals and far more nutritional value.

    Yeah - but drinking breakfast never appealed to me. I like to chew food. Besides protein shakes are not designed as meal replacements.

    Plain old Cheerios with a boatload of cinnamon. But then, I'm diabetic and it's the lowest carb/sugar cereal. And it keeps cholesterol down, which is good when you eat as much meat as diabetics tend to.

    But man...when I am a cheater, Special K Vanilla Almond. I can't even kid myself that that's not dessert.

    I like original Special K with light vanilla almond milk. It's not overpoweringly sweet which is good. Also multigrain Cheerios!

    Frosted mini-wheats. I don't view cereal as health food, so if you're going to eat cereal you might as well have a type that has a little bit of sugar in it. But frosted miniwheats also has plenty of fiber and some protein too, so it's not complete junk food.

    Knitapeace..... I used to pretend to be a dog 90% of my childhood. I would beg for Cracklin Oat Bran and then eat it off the floor. Embarrassing, but really speaks to its deliciousness! :)

    I forgot to mention frosted mini wheat and fruity cheerios! I love all the different cheerio flavors.

    Edge with protein. Maple flavour nut cluster. Or Lucky Charms. They're both tied really. Luckily I only eat cereal every once in a while, and I keep it to 1 cup at most.

    I don't know how healthy they are, but Cheerios and Raisin Bran.

    I loved the sugar cereals, too. They were so good!!

    I like the Special K brand, whether it's just the protein plus or the more indulgent one with chocolate.. haha. Also like Grape Nuts, as old-personish as that sounds. I think Weetabix is good too.

    half a bowl of erewhon crispy brown rice no salt cereal mixed with half a bowl of erewhon corn flakes. the cereals have no sugar, either added or naturally occurring, are very low sodium, and are super tasty and crunchy. top with a little xylitol after the milk's poured on, and voila! my favorite bowl of cereal.
