    Steel cut oatmeal or at least old fashioned oats are what I try to eat for cereal. Throw in some chunked apple, dates, dried cranberries, blueberries, (the variations are endless) Otherwise, it's organic eggs and multigrain toast for me.

    Kashi Golden Goodness... Light but delicious! With ALMOND MILK! Throw skim milk in the garbage! It's a waste of 55 calories!

    Oatmeal with a dash of Cinnamon?

    Sprinkled on top after it's cooked, as a sweetener (so, no need for sugar). Okay, maybe a little more than a dash.

    If I'm having cereal, I Iike:

    Oatmeal with PB and banana
    Vector (5.5g protein, 215 cals/serving), but you get 1 1/4 cup of cereal.
    Quaker Corn Bran Squares

    The problem with breakfast cereals is a lot of them are either sugary (basically candy for breakfast) or marketed as healthy when, if you read the actual calorie, salt, and sugar content (*cough*Special K*cough*) they aren't really all that impressive, nutritionally speaking.

    I eat Shredded Wheat. It's got pretty much nothing added to enhance the flavour (which means, frankly, there isn't much), but it's quite filling considering the relatively low number of calories, and a great base to add to. I like walnuts and strawberries, personally.

    Kashi GoLean (original)...I eat it almost every day.

    This^^^^


    I am a cereal lover, and while this one is a little higher calories per serving, and a little more expensive, it really does keep me fuller longer than others I have tried. And all the flavors are really good. I am partial to the Honey Almond Flax.

    I figure if you're going to eat cereal for breakfast, you might as well get one that you personally enjoy. It's usually not recommended at ALL! Mostly just carbs and sugar. However, I think the General Mills ones or the ones in the organic section (Barbara's brands and stuff) TEND to be better for you (whole grains and stuff) but that's not really saying much. Breakfast cereal is my biggest vice when it comes to this whole weightloss thing and I won't give it up! I have anything from Banana Nut Cheerios to Reese's Puffs to Kashi Go Lean and I've managed to still lose 60 pounds. If you actually pay attention to the serving size, you should be okay regardless of what you get. I mean, I'm sure there are some "healthy" sugarless cereals out there but with very similar nutritional value as their less low-fat, low-everything gimmacky cousins.

    Agree!!!

    Any Special K cereal is super tasty with a 1/2 cup of skim milk. I will also eat a 1/2cup (dry) of Quaker Multi-Grain Hot Cereal. I will put some McCormick Pumpkin Spice and one splenda packet for flavor.

    Both fill me up well, but esp. the Quaker oats! Good luck finding your breakfast niche =)

    I often pair half a serving (26g) of the original Kashi Go Lean (good fiber and protein content), with a half a serving (27g) of Kashi Cinammon Harvest (soooo good! I LOVE this cereal), with half or whole cup of fat free milk. Filling and tasty.

    With 1/2 C. FF milk:

    I'd recommend making oatmeal. Special K Oats & Honey cereal is also my guilty pleasure. I've heard it's not very good for you (and probably not very nutrient-dense) but I loooove it so much.

    Can't go wrong with Quaker Oatmeal. Add some dried fruit or apples and it serves its purpose. Nothing processed about it.
