Does anyone else struggle with bran flakes?!

Hi, Try some General Mills Fibre 1 Crunchy Original Whole Grain Cereal instead of Bran Flakes. There's 0g of sugar and a 45g serving fills you up nicely without craving more. It's especially good with some fruit on top! : )0

I had days I would eat a whole box of cereal to the point I would feel sick. It's my worst binge-trigger and I am being totally serious. I find it easier to stop with ice cream than cereal.
I'm sorry you have the binge eating too but thank ful for your honesty- I'm exactly the same - chocolate ice cream sits safely in my freezer, how bizarre is that.0 -

thank you for your recommendatio. I'm in the uk though..0 -
My favorite breakfast is porridge made of old-fashion oats. It always fills me up that lasts for 3 or 4 hours and does not set me on a frenzy for more carbs ... but I have a secret ... I load it up with other stuff. It's different every time I make it, and yet it is the same. Sometimes I have it for dinner.
The secret is an egg. I almost always add an egg to the water or milk and whisk that together before I add the oats. Sometimes I add fruit, other times nuts, or a bit of both, or peanut butter, and always some cinnamon. Sometimes I add more water and put in a tablespoon of chia seed for some crunchy pudding-type texture. It's always good.

I either have almonds in my portion of bran flakes or a tbsp of peanut butter in my hot muesli and I guess it fills me up for several hours and fuels my workout.
Other days I have 2 fried eggs and a slice of whole grain toast and that's filling too.
It's like the combination of fat, grain and protein has more staying power for me.0 -
I have issues with cereal in general. I have to use a small bowl and small spoon and remind myself I only get one serving:) if I'm still hungry I need to find a different food to eat! Lol0

I know right? And don't get me wrong, I love ice cream. But I have had the same tub of salted peanuts and caramel ice cream (which is my favourite) for over two months now in my freezer and I haven't touched it. If I try and get cereal in the house the box won't last a day haha.0 -
Have a bowl of bran flakes with banana and strawberries. One of my faves and very filling.0

Doesn't the egg cause texture issues? Like the milk becoming kind of slimy and all? And it's also raw? I'm very curious about doing this
