    Has it been mentioned that Special K is equally as good for you as peanut butter crunch?

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

    IDK what kind Rossergirl is eating but sometimes in the evening I enjoy a small amount (dry cereal) while watching a show!
    Its got 3 Fiber With 10 Protein and just the right amount of sweetness :wink:

    Howinell do Special K and oatmeal keep getting compared....? For pete's sake. If OP is asking about Special K, why not advise her to eat scrambled eggs instead? Or bacon and toast? Good lord.

    Steak and eggs are good. Pretty low carb too. OP, eat steak and eggs.

    Peanut butter and jelly. So awesome. And hilarious....

    or Kale. KALE!

    It always comes back to kale. Really, it's the only healthy food.

    Special K (ale)

    Kale Oatmeal. Best bang for your buck.

    If you eat too much carbs you will less likely to lose weight. All it does is enhance cravings. Eat fruit or vegetables.

    But..fruits and vegetables have carbohydrates.

    Rolmfao!

    Ok. I couldn't find regular Special K, but the Special K Protein is 120 calories. I'm not going to tell you to not eat Special K, but for 30 calories more (150 calories), you can eat a hot bowl of oatmeal. Mix in Splenda and cinnamon and it's delicious. Or mix in some Splenda, chopped strawberries, and a little milk and make Strawberries and Cream. So good and it fills you up much better than Special K.

    I often find that what tastes good to someone and what "fills you up" varies wildly between people. The OP might find Special K perfectly filling. The might not. That's certainly something that they need to consider when making breakfast choices, but I don't think that we can say definitively that oatmeal will fill them up better.

    Thank You Dianne!
    I have read several threads where people have stated They Do Not get full on oatmeal!
    What fits for 1 does not necessarily fit for another!
    On the rare occasion that I want to have a "light" but satisfying my sweet tooth snack, sometimes I get 3/4 cup of my 10 Grams of Protein cereal...plus, its got the "crunch" that Im after :smiley:

    I eat it every morning but watch the serving size. The serving size is one cup and most cereal bowls hold way more than that. I preportion and measure in baggies to ensure I stay in the right portion.

    I don't really care for the additives and preservatives in most kinds of Special K, but if that sort of thing doesn't bother you and you're still within your calorie budget for the day after eating it, then go for it.

    Personally, though, I wouldn't use cold breakfast cereal as the base for a meal. I just find it not filling/nutritious enough to find it as a good choice for being the basis of a meal. Most cereals have nutrition profiles similar to cookies before the manufacturers add synthetic vitamins back in. I tend to treat them more like a snack food, kind of like potato chips, but that's just me.

    I don't think 1 cup equals 45g or whatever special k's serving size is..

    I eat cereal for dessert rather than for breakfast. Everytime I have eaten carbs in the morning I am just starving to death like an hour later. I stick to protein/veggies/fat in the morning. That keeps me going through lunch.

    Porriage, low sugar museli, bran flakes and all bran are the only good ones. You need some more protein though too, whether that's eggs on a piece of wholemeal toast, or a protein shake.

    The only good what?

    Breakfast? Grain-based foods?

    Why are people so anxious to tell OP that she must make the same choices they do?

    Cereals.

    I'm not sure why people want the OP to eat what they eat.

    I wonder what OPs who ask if it's okay to eat things and get all the different responses - yes, no, maybe, only if it's this, only if you do that - what do the OPs do?

    They never know more after asking. So, do they eat it? Scratch it off their lists? I don't know.

    McCindy....its an option to write in Bold vs the standard grey text, its not yelling!

    Normal text: Indoor voice

    ALL CAPS: YELLING

    Bold: Loud, exaggerated whisper, sort of like yelling while being able to claim that you're not

    Italics: Sarcasm

    Strikethrough: You have to say it, but even before you do, you know it's wrong.

    Premium Blend: I know I shouldn't, but maybe if I just whisper, more than loud enough for everyone to hear, I can get away with saying this sarcastically.

    Today I learned I live my life in Premium Blend...which also sounds like a delicious coffee. Or a cocktail. Or a coffee cocktail.
