  • I love Total Rasin Bran, Lots of vitamins and some fiber too.
  • Hi Aphil - no, I can't have oatmeal either. The cereal has to be 100% rice or corn and it can't have barley malt flavoring in it like a lot of the cereals do. I just normally don't eat it.
  • Bran Flakes!

    Raisin Bran is a bit higher because of the raisins, but I eat that every now and then just for a little change.

    For 1 cup of Bran flakes it is around 110 calories, it's the lowest and healthiest cereal I've found.
  • I switch between Kashi Go Lean, any of the Totals, and Multi-Grain Cheerios. It really depends on what I feel like that week and what is on sale.

    Hmmm - I don't have the box in front of me so I can't check for barley malt flavoring...but you might want to check out Quaker Corn Bran. It's quite yummy, low in sugar, and higher in fiber than most cold cereals!
  • My "normal" breakfast is Honey Nut Cheerios, skim milk and a banana. Sometimes I have oatmeal. I also have Kashi Good Friends cereal in the cabinet. It seems like I fall into a rut and have the same breakfast for a long time. I don't mind this because I don't really like to have to "think" for breakfast. LOL

  • My favorite cereals are Kashi go Lean and Kashi's Good Friends. I like both of them mixed with a 1/2 cup lowfat yogurt.
  • Most of the time, i eat Total or Special K...i like Kashi GoLean...but i stay away from it because of the extra calories. I have never really got "fuller" for "longer" therefore i buy the least expensive.
  • hockeyfan7, do you have a health food store in your area? most of them have lots of gluten-free foods. i'm sure you could find a boxed cereal to fit your needs.
  • I enjoy steel cut oats
  • I'm sure I've said this before (and flipafart said it again) steel cut oats!
    I put it in the crockpot before bed. And any old time now I'm going to blend 1/2 cup with 3 egg whites and nuke if for my breakfast.
    Another awesome tip I got from the Ladies who Lift.

    I have been thinking about different cereals tho'. I have a friend who cannot have gluten. I don't see why that egg white thing couldn't be done with any hot cereal. I do have cream of brown rice that I should try.
