Any suggestions for good tasting, nutritious, and low calorie cereal? I've been eating multigrain Cheerios and Kellogg's crunchy nut.

    i generally stick with porridge oats and spice it up with some fruit, berries are generally the best! i tried putting a couple of squares of dark chocolate in before microwaving the other day and that tasted pretty nice too (:

    Most cold cereal isn't healthy; it's super processed and loaded with sugar and preservatives.

    I usually stick to hot cereal (oatmeal) in the morning with half a scoop of protein powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flax seed. Sometimes chia seed if I remember. It leaves me feeling pretty full at about 250-300 cals depending on what's in it.

    Many of the Kashi brand cereals have reasonably healthy nutrition stats. Their plain Go Lean Cereal has 140 calories per serving and has 13g of protein and 10g of fiber. Not bad at all when you're in a hurry in the morning.

    Oh cereal.. how I miss it. Actually Ive found Cascadian Farms Organic cinnamon squares (similar to Cinnamon Toast Cruch) is low in carbs and sugar VS other cereals.. and it doesnt taste like crap. Use almond milk stay with serving sizes and its under 135 calories.

    I like the new Peanut Butter Multigrain Cheerios, 'original' Fiber One or the Fiber One with Flakes. Also I like Quaker Oatmeal Squares.

    Trader joe's Bran Flakes - Best. Bran. Flake. Cereal. EVER.
    Special K Vanilla Almond, with Berries or Cinnamon Pecan - Splash with some almond milk ... total crack I tell you!
    Multigrain Cheerios - The best of all the cherrios, I think.

    Other than that, I'm not much of a cereal fan. Just doesn't fill me up, but it's great as a treat. :)

    if i am on a health mission i tend to stick to porridge oats, with whole milk, nuts and raisins.

    Or Wholemeal toast with eggs.

    I don't often eat cereal, but sometimes I just want it. I got for Special K protein plus. No idea if its all that great for you, but the nutrition label stats are good. =D

    I usually buy Mom's Naturals brand anything (my favorite is the Sweetened Wheatfuls for my daily fiber intake!), no preservatives or anything. It's going to have sugar, but that's no different than most hot cereals out there, unless you buy plain oatmeal. Try to go for plain things -- Cheerios, bran flakes, Chex, Crispix, etc.

    Original Fiber 1 is my new fav. When my trainer put it on my diet, I seriously questioned her and I have to eat it dry. I eat it with a half a cup of blueberries and it is seriously the best part of my day.
