Your Fav cereal?

Eating breakfast is a reality in my new world and I have been trying to
eat cereal with skim milk, soy milk or fat free yogurt every morning. I
started out with Special K ( seemed too weak and white flour-like),
then moved to Raisin Bran but lately have been looking for some serious
fiber rich 'high octane fuel' cereal. Got a couple of boxes of 100%
Bran but it is tough just eating it straight up.
Nothing too sweet preferred (except with plain yogurt) what are your
favorites or do you do a combo? Do you add in things?? Anything
especially good with yogurt?
What about hot cereals? Thoughts anyone

I eat Honey Nut Cheerios with skim milk when I feel like having cereal.
It's not bad in terms of calories, I believe it's 110 for 3/4 cup. Sugar
is a bit high (11 grams per serving), but since I don't have it all the
time, it's not a big problem.

In terms of hot breakfast items, I love oatmeal. I've been eating Quaker
Oats Weight Control cinnamon oatmeal for months and it's really good.

I'm not sure if 100% Bran is an actual cereal name or not, but I LOVE All
Bran. There's even an All Bran Extra Fiber. Recently I've also bought the
Trader Joe's version of it, which has somewhat less bran and more calories
than All Bran. Those cereals go great in yogurt - just as good as granola
with less fat & calories. Add some fresh fruit and you've got a delicious
low calorie, high fiber, high calcium meal.

I usually buy plain, fat free yogurt. I add one packet of Equal and a few
drops of vanilla extract. I don't buy the already flavored artificially
sweetened yogurt because it's always too sweet. A packet or less is perfect
for me.

On the mornings when I have cereal (with milk or yogurt) I usually also cook
up a couple servings of Egg Beaters for extra protein. A cup of yogurt,
some cereal, fresh strawberries and 2 Egg Beaters comes in at under 300
calories.

Other cereal that I like (with milk) are Kashi Good Friends
Cinna-Raisin-Crunch and Nature's Path Optimum Power Breakfast with
Blueberries, Flax & Soy

Kashi:
1 cup
170 calories
1.5g fat
41g carb
8g fiber (7g insoluble, 1g soluble)

Nature's path:
1 cup
190 calories
2.5g fat
40g carb
10g fiber

Higher calorie count than the All Bran type of cereals but they are both
very tasty, and one serving paired with Egg Beaters keeps me happy.

When I have cereal (as opposed to my poached eggs :-) ) I usually
combine All Bran (I like the Bran Buds, but use regular and Extra Fiber
as well -- whatever I can find at the grocery) with another cereal.
For the other, I like one of the things with fruits and nuts like Great
Grains or some sort of low fat granola -- I try different stuff all the
time. To this I add a scoop of protein powder.

My local market started carrying a line of Quaker Essentials cereals,
I bought a box of "Crunchy Corn Bran" 90 cal for 3/4c serving
which after I subtract the 5g fiber is 80 cal plus 2g protein.
Tastes similiar to Cheerios but in a large square size to munch vs 1 cheerio

Definitely. I have my eggs on a piece of whole wheat toast with some
melted fat-free cheese. I'll have to try them with cottage cheese
sometime.

I eat Trader Joe's Mini Shredded whole wheat or Joe's O's with no-fat or
1% skim milk, with a banana on occasion. But I take a fiber supplement
because otherwise I don't get a normal amount from food alone.

My favorite breakfast is old-fashioned oats, protein powder and ground
flax seed. This gives me a good ratio of carbs/protein/fat to start
the day. It's also something I can keep at the office. At home I may
opt for poached eggs and whole wheat toast. Someday I'll have to try
adding some f/f cheese to try Chris's version of this dish.

I eat Fiber One cereal with yogurt and fruit or with chocolate soy milk and
fruit when I want cold cereal.

Most mornings I eat a bowl of oatmeal (oat groats I prepare on the weekends)
with protein powder, splenda, and raisins or berries.

As far as my favorite cereal - Cinnamon Life, but I never touch the stuff
anymore.

why not just eat yogurt with 100% bran added to it?
