    I think it is about 100 calories for one of the pre packed servings. I do oatmeal almost every day with just a shake of cinnamon and that seems to be pretty filling.

    Yep. I eat it every single day as I HATE oatmeal with a passion I can not explain.

    I buy the instant packages and I usually eat 2 a day (which is about 280 calories). It keeps me full for quite awhile (usually I have to kind of force myself to eat lunch because I'm still full from the cream of wheat for breakfast). :)

    Cream of Wheat is kind of like grits....Both are really good. filling, just don't over do it because it has high carbs. :D

    mmmm, i love cream of wheat. i get the instant packets, i use milk, and then pop it in the microwave. sprinkle a little raw sugar on it, and sometimes add some dried fruit and or nuts. so tasty. as for nutrition, can't think of it off the toip of my head, but it's in the database, so just look it up. or look in my diary to breakfast about a week ago. i had cereal most of this week, hence you having to go back a week.

    My mom used to make me eat this when I was little. It made me cry. That is the extent of my cream of wheat knowledge.

    I switch between cream of wheat and steel cut oats, I also use almond milk when preparing it in the microwave.. its great and keeps me full. I usually add cranberries to mine for total calories of around 240-280 at breakfast.

    I love cream of wheat! My fav is Brown Sugar although it has more carbs. But I always just make one packet at a time because most of the time I get too busy to have another packet and don't notice until lunch. That saves me the extra 130 calories. If you have the regular it is only 100 calories and you can add fruit if you like.

    If you have never tried Quaker oat bran (hot) cereal ---- you should.
    Oat bran cereal has significantly more soluble fiber in it than cream of wheat... and I think you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two.

    Hot cereal is always a potential problem because of what you might add to it. I measure the sugar carefully and add a lot of cinnamon.
