    Carbs don't matter. Eat what you like and stay around your calorie goal.

    I like the Special K with the red berrys. It's a quick breakfast I wouldn't want to do the thing where you eat it for breakfast and lunch every day

    Unless your doctor has told you to avoid carbs, cereal -- Special K or not -- is fine as long as it's part of a diet that's lower in calories than you burn.

    No it's not ok, it tastes like cardboard, get a tastier cereal.

    This. Just joking... but seriously, I'd be hungry an hour later. I'd suggest a more filling breakfast, but that's just me...

    Original Special K has decent protein numbers, add some 2% milk (for fat and protein) and 1/2 a banana (for fiber) and you have a filling breakfast that sticks with you awhile.

    I gave up on the "flavored" Special K's.....the protein went missing, and they have almost no fiber either (I can do better).

    Try not to think of any individual food item as 'good' or 'bad'. It's your overall diet that matters. Eat whatever foods you like that fit within your calorie and macro goals.

    Whether it's too many carbs depends on your diet overall. As part of a balance diet, Special K is fine if you enjoy it.

    do you need a taster to make sure no one is trying to poison you?

    It's up to you. If you want to eat it, it's okay. :)

    Special K Fruit and Yogurt is amazing. Soooo good. Usually a bowl of cereal is not filling enough for me for breakfast, so I'd pair it with something. Sometimes I'll eat a small amount dry (weighed and logged, of course), as a sweet night time snack.

    I like the red berry version for dessert, with almond milk and a banana.

    Eat it if you want. For me, I would crash by 10 am and need a snack if I had it for breakfast. It's just not enough protein and fiber for me.

    Then again, I did have a bowl of refried beans for breakfast today. I'm probably not the "norm" as far a breakfast foods go.

    Special K is tasty but it only has 2 grams of protein. I do not think if would keep you full for very long.

    Op if you like the cereal just make it fit.
    are you doing the one bowl for lunch, one for breakfast and then whatever you like for dinner. if so you might get a little hungry.

    Meh. If you like it, just make sure you're getting what they consider a portion and fit it into your daily calories. Carbs aren't an issue as long as your doctor hasn't told you to cut down for health reasons. Personally, I prefer tastier cereal, but then I don't add milk or anything to it. I like my cereal dry so I can eat it in the car or the hallway between classes if I need to. XD

    This is what happens when people demonized foods, which leads to eating disorders.
