I get tired of eating the same old cereal over and over again. So your guys favorite cereals??
I like life, and Honey bunch of oats (strawberry bits). But neither of them carry much protein D:.

    If you are looking for healthier options you may want to try brands such as Kashi or Nature's Path. They both have a wide variety of cereals which contain less sugar and sodium then the mainstream brands and no additives. They also taste great too.

    I'm a fan of Special K cereals. Whether in the flakes in the bowl with milk form or the bar form!

    Check out the Ezekiel 4:9 cereals if you are serious about getting an almost perfect protein. They are kinda spendy though.

    Oats?

    For protein, dump in some cottage cheese, or mix up a whey shake or some greek yogurt on the side.

    This is not new news.......... There are a lot healthier choices for breakfast than cereal....cereal has a lot of carbs, and a lot of times a lot of sugar. Advertising has made cereal look like something "healthy" to be eating when you are trying to loose weight. cereal=processed. And by her saying that she is sick of the cereal she is eating, is implying that she is not only eating it religiously, but too often at that.

    Dorset Simply Fruity Muesli. Absolutely love it!


    I also like Weetabix Minis Chocolate Crisps but I can't eat them because I continually refill my bowl. :(

    Cereal is pretty high in cals and has really, really small serving sizes (who eats 1/2 a cup of cereal?). Add in 100+ cals of milk... Yikes.

    I don't eat a lot of cereal, but my boys like it. I get them Barbara's shredded oat squares, original flavored Puffins, Quaker shredded oats in brown sugar or cinnamon, or Annie's bunny cereal.

    They also like Honey Bunches of Oats, but I would never eat that.

    When I do indulge, I make sure I only serve myself the serving size, use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (1/2 cup has 20 cals) and slice in some strawberries.

    My favorite used to be Kix. Then they sweetened them which I didn't like. Then they switched back to the way they were before. I'll still eat them occasionally. I do like the Ezekiel 4:9 raisin and the almond the best.

    look there is no one size fit all answer. i have friends who is doing great on a low carb diet, and there is others like me doing great on a low cal diet. Dont say your way is the healthiest cause it dont work like that. Everyone is different.

    I actually don't even eat the same cereal that often. My breakfast is usually wheat toast and a egg.
    I ask the question as when I do eat cereal, on the rare occasion, it is the same cereal. Life, or Honey bunches of oats. Because the are the cheapest and most reasonable>.<. They don't hold much protein, You want to talk usualess carbs? What about the muffins, and donuts eaten for breakfast? If its between junk food and cereal, go for the cereal.

    I eat 40g of cereal with low fat greek yoghurt (or skimmed milk) and it has under 200 calories altogether. I wouldn't say that's bad.

    even if you are going low cal, cereal isnt the answer...it has a lot of cals too, and plus the milk that you put with it........
