    And I thought it was just me - lol - my favorites are honey nut cheerios and frosted mini wheats. I just don't buy the stuff any more. LIke others here, it's a trigger food for me.

    I keep grapenuts to mix with yogurt and I eat oatmeal every morning.

    I freaking love cereal. I always have. I could eat it for dinner every night and be perfectly happy. And I'm not talking about Kashi or healthy stuff like that, either.

    Too funny! I didn't realize there were others out there!! :flowerforyou: I'm not the only one who loves cereal :smile: I always have a cup of cereal tho..even if the serving is 3/4 c. That 1/4 c makes a difference! Haha

    Question my fellow cereal lovers: What kind of milk do you have with your cereal? I drink 1% right now, but I'm not happy with the amount of sugar that's in it. By the time you add it to the cereal, that's more than half my sugar for the day! Any thoughts? Thanks!

    I found a healthy cereal! Ezekiel 4:9.. I measure out a serving size, 57g which is around 180-200 depending on the kind you get, add some fruit like bananas, strawberries, blueberries, etc. with unsweetened almond milk. It's filling, tastes good, and doesn't have a bunch of sugar in it that I found in kashi cereal.

    Ugh I defintiely agree. I love cereal and now usually eat the 'boring' cereal like Cheerios, or Special K. I used to eat all the good (but full of sugar) kinds like Captn Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, Coco Puff. Mmm how I miss those. Cereal is such a tease because usually the serving size is so small it barely fills me up for breakfast and I'm hungry not too long after. But I still eat it every morning for breakfast lol I measure my cereal out every morning or else I would eat 2 huge bowls. I used to eat cereal for dinner some nights lol oh how I miss that. Eventually I would like to gradually add in my old favorites into rotation :wink:

    Anyone tried the Kellog's Product 19 cereal? It's really good! After comparing nearly every box of cereal on the aisle this was the best i could find. ONE WHOLE cup (not that 1/2 or 3/4c crap) is only 100 calories, and has 4 grams of sugar. And when i looked at the vitamins nearly that whole panel down the side said 100% DV...and it was a LONG list of nutrients! When i eat cereal I also like to add a few fresh sliced strawberries or bananas to up the volume since like most of you agree, a real serving of cereal is almost nothing compared to what we are used to eating! Darn these giant bowls lol!
    Oh and on a side note, i have the cutest little retro bowls that i LOVE bc they are deep yet fairly small in diameter so that serving of cereal looks like a big full bowl....good little mind trick for me!

    HEB has this milk called MooTopia...it's my favorite milk ever but i don't get it often bc it's a little more expensive (not bad though) and i don't make to HEB often...this milk is lactose free (never knew that til i just noticed on the carton one day) and it has 40% or %50 percent less sugar than regular milk...and it has less carbs too bc of the lower sugar..... i love this milk bc it tastes so clean and pure (if that makes any sense) lol....

    I am the ultimate cereal addict. I've eaten through a newly opened box of COSTCO sized Kashi Golean in one night, and a costco sized box contains two regular sized boxes.

    I just can't buy cereal anymore. I'll eat endless amounts of the stuff over any other junk food. I'll eat cereal over chips, chocolate, even ice cream.

    Not sure why I love the stuff SO damn much.

    I am crazy when it comes to cereal ! Breakfast, dinner and snack on it! Every day all the time, and never any of the healthy ones! Frosted Shreddies, Wheetos, Coco Pops, Crunchy Nut Clusters etc!

    If anyone hasn't done so, weigh out the recommend amount (usually 30g-40g) and it is tiny!

    Maybe buy cereal that you can eat more of with less clalories. I eat rice kripies, chex, and cheerios when I'm trying to fix my epic cereal craving because I can have 1 and 1/4 cup of it for about 130 calories ( and you can sweeten them with a zero cal sweetener.). When I deserve a treat or really need a pick me up I'll eat something like special k oats and honey or something sweetened. I also don't like milk so I only put enough on to get the cereal we and drain the rest out.

    I bought a box of Raisin Bran (a health store variety) and a half gallon of full-fat raw milk yesterday. I had it for a snack after I got home from the grocery store and I was in heaven. I did, however, measure it out and limit myself to one serving.

    This morning I had 1.33 bowls again and between that and my banana, it was a really lovely breakfast. Huge carb & sugar buster, though, so I'm definitely not looking to have it every day. I'd rather have something more protein based for breakfast and save the cereal for a night time snack if I need to make up some calories.
