Is puffed rice (cereal) a core food... im not talking about Rice krispies.. but the real puffed rice... there are no additives and no sugar... just rice.
Cuz today I had a bowl and put about a tbsp of SF FF syrup on top and mixed it all up and it was sooo good.. lol

Yes it is but I beleive only if you eat it with Milk or Yogurt.

How about cheerios? They're not listed in the section of cereal you can eat once per day, but they are whole wheat, right? Anyone have a complete foods book with core check marks in it?

I am pretty sure they aren't core, because there is added sugar... hmm check the ingredient list.

I double checked and Puffed Wheat or Puffed Rice are Core. Cheerio's are not core (none of them).

And "Don't forget: All cold cereals listed here are limited to one meal a day and must be eaten with fat-free milk or fat-free plain yogurt."

You can flavor the puffed cereals by sprinkling some SF FF pudding mix on the cereal then add milk. I like using the SF FF French Vanilla Wal-Mart brand. I hope this keeps it core.

Cherrios are made from oats, not wheat, and they do contain added sugar. So not CORE. Sorry.

"whole grain oat cereal" - now I can hear the cheerios commercial in my head.

Oh well. Still a better snack than fruit loops.

You're definitely right about that.... its a way better choice than some cereals out there. Im just glad i never liked the marshmallow kind!
