Who loves cereal? Who has it everyday? Breakfast? Lunch? Or even sometimes dinner? After joining MFP, and making a choice from bad / fast foods to eating MUCH healthier & losing weight... One thing I just love so much is my CEREAL with unsweetened almond milk!

I love KASHI GO LEAN cereal :) High in fiber & protein but..... 6g of sugar! What do you guys think? Any other alternatives? I mean it's not as high as other cereals.. But I love how it's delicious and well... High in fiber & protein!

    6g of sugar isn't bad at all- but how many carbs are in there? Just curious. A little sugar is fine but just in small amounts- that's why it's the smallest on the food pyramid!

    Its weird, cereal is always a go to for me when I'm on a diet but when I'm not I hardly eat it. I love it just as much but I just don't think of it. When I started this site about a month ago I think the one food I was most excited to go buy was my Kashi, what's best is they have added new flavors to the go lean crunch since the last time I was trying to eat healthier. I am also really getting into the fiber one honey clusters and just got a box of the new 80 calorie honey squares. On a slightly less healthy note (through they are still pretty good) I love the Cinnamon burst Cheerios. I top whatever I am eating with a quarter cup of them, Mmmm. The only thing I don't like are the high prices. I go through it a lot faster when I'm eating it every day and at almost 5 bucks a box for the healthy ones, makes me choke a little, but we all know that eating healthy is tough on the pocket book.

    I'm a cereal killer. I MADE Cheerios what they are today. LOL Seriously, when I was growing up, I ate a box a week. Of course I was a kid and a lot more active so it didn't affect me. I sure don't eat them like that now. But I do find that a serving of Cheerios is better than a couple of eggs and bacon with toast...and more filling.

    What the best tasting cereal with high protein, high fiber, good carbs, and low fat?

    just to clarify, the food pyramid isn't made out of real food.

    I love Kashi Go Lean. It has the best nutritional profile of any cereal I've seen. And I personally love the taste.

    I also love steel cut oatmeal with pecans, dried cranberries, cinnamon, splenda, and frozen blueberries added about 5 mins before I eat it.

    Kirkland Raisin Bran with a cup of skim/no fat milk. Best thing, it is high in calories but I get 2200 a day so I allow myself this.
