    Probably something with oatmeal! Or just plain oatmeal.

    I like fiber one original. 60 cals for 30g, and gives you nearly a full day's fiber.

    I go with the Special K protein cereals. There's a few flavors for variety. I tried switching out this week for some multigrain cheerios, and was hungry every day. I think it was because of the difference in protein.

    Whatever cereal you decide, be sure to measure the cereal, and the milk, and log them both accurately. A "real serving" of the cereal is always smaller than I think it should be. My preference is to go for 1 cup of cereal and 1 cup of milk.

    I like rolled oats "cooked" in yogurt for an hour and topped with fruit.

    One way to avoid hoaxes is to pass on anything with nutritional claims on the box as this will likely be marketing hype.

    It is so sad that this is true, lol! When I see stuff on labels touting the health benefits, my immediate reaction is that the food probably isn't very healthy.

    Stuff that is healthy doesn't usually have labels screaming it, lol.

    Usually, the more stuff saying it's good for you, the less it will be!

    Most of my food is transferred to airtight containers, so I couldn't check some, but the wheat germ is kept in it's glass in the freezer and has only one printed line about being a good source of vitamins, not even in special colors or on bar. No diagonal printing or exclamation marks or anything.

    150 calories, 2.5 g fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 4 mg sodium, 28 g carbs (6 g fibre, 0 g sugars), 6 g protein per ¼ cup.
    A unique feature of red river cereal is that it swells to four times it's bulk in water.

    I like porridge. Oatmeal, semolina, polenta, or millet. Cooked in water/milk, served with butter.
