I'm fed up with my Weetabix!!! Any ideas on good, low fat, breakfast cereals that keep you full for as long as possible?!

Hi - I quite like All Bran Golden Crunch with some blueberries.0
-
For a cereal to have with milk, I love Grapenuts. They stay crunchy for a while.
To stay full, I tend to eat oats or muesli with greek yoghurt. Muesli is higher fat due to the nuts, though.
There's always porridge!0 -
I find either Quaker Morning Oats or Alpen Porridge fills me up nicely till lunchtime. I especially like the Alpen Apple & Raspberry which is the only porridge I have ever been able to eat!0
-
Yeah porridge is the best but not practical for me as I just need something I can put in a plastic box and top up with milk when I get to work :-)0
-
I sometimes mix muesli with plain low-fat yoghurt.0
-
Shreddies and bite size shredded wheat are what I have. Or rather, the supermarket own brand! Keeps me going nicely till lunch

how can you get fed up with weetabix, ive lived with the smell for 64 years. its made not far from here and as a kid the factory was just up the road i lived in. now i smell it when its going to rain. back to the subject oats are good.0

I'm mainly doing Porridge Oats at the moment - the pre-measured sachets by Dorset Cereals & Oat So Simple.0

I like my blueberry wheats. And Original Alpen. 0

If you want something that you feel like you get a large plateful try puffed wheat. It is so light that a portion looks massive. Is mainly air though.
What I often do though is mix have a portion of puffed wheat with half a portion of another cereal. It bulks it out, but you get something more interesting than puffed wheat.0 -
Porridge only I'm afraid. For me cereals are too processed. I would say to pick the ones highest in fiber and with he fewest corm syrups or other stuff!! (that's just me though!!) good luck! :0)0

I like Oats so Simple - you can cook one of these in the microwave in 2 minutes! I also like Special K Oats & Honey - delicious!0

I've recently discovered Lidl fruit and nut granola which I've been having with natural yoghurt and fresh berries when I have them (I love strawberry season!). I also like swiss style muesli (Alpen) or porridge. These are all pretty filling and don't have aritficial nasties in them.0

Two recomedations from me..
Quaker Oats So Simple in the tub - just add hot water and munch, dead easy for the works canteen and no faffing with milk and microwaves, spoon of jam or peanut butter for added lovlinesss.
Honey nut bite sive shredded wheat, pretty good numbers and keeps me full a LOT longer than weetabix. Weetabix at 7am, I'm starving by half 9! 0 -
Second the bite-size shredded wheat (I have 20g of sultanas with mine).
I have muesli soaked overnight in fruit juice then add a little yoghurt when I eat it - sometimes grate an apple in to bump up my fresh fruit intake (skin as well) = delicious!0 -
I had Alpen for the first time about 4 weeks ago and I love it had it every morning since then0
-
Hmm, thanks for your suggestions guys, I think I;ll give the shredded wheat a go. I've always hated them actually but the main thing goal is not to be starving again by 10!0

Aldi swiss style muesli and aldi really nutty muesli 50/50 mix. Keeps me going till 12 - 12.30.I'm fed up with my Weetabix!!! Any ideas on good, low fat, breakfast cereals that keep you full for as long as possible?!0 -

Plain ones are bleurch but the honey nut are nice.
And i seem to remember one of the supermarkets does them in own brand with apricot and raisins in the middle, they're fab.0 -
Porridge seems keeps me fuller for longer, i have a little honey in it just to make it a little sweeter, sometimes a banana chopped into slices mixed in the porridge is nice, just for a change.0
-
If you're eating Alpen or similar muesli products, you really need to get the no added sugar versions...for Alpen, the calorie content is almost the same but you save yourself 5g of sugar per 100g.0
-
7am - 30g porridge oats, 6fl oz water (sorry about the mix and match measurements, but that is my kitchen for you) microwave for 2 mins, leave for 1 min, add chopped banana and that sees me through until after my lunch time workout0
-
Yup, porridge all the way - so much more filling than anything else! I have the Alpen blueberry one and often have fresh blueberries on it. Nom!
Next suggestion would be muesli and greek yoghurt but muesli is usually pretty high in calories.0 -
I like Weetabix crunchy bran quite often but I also like porridge with a pinch of salt instead of sugar.0
