Good choices of CERAL?



Recommended Posts

I found this Special K Protein CERAL today. One 3/4 cup serving has 10g Protein 120 calories 19g total carbs. With 1 cup of Skim plus milk 11g protein 17g total carbs.

I really love CERAL and was wondering if this was a better choice of one.

Any thoughts....

I just saw that the other day and purchased it also. Kashi Go Lean Crunch has a Honey Almond Flax version that is 9gm of Protein. The only thing I'm being aware of is the additional carbs I'm taking in having Cereal.< /p>

Didn't care for it at all :( This one has NO taste at all and I do like Special K Cerals. It was hard to chew, and I hate to use a cliche but tasted like cardboard. Was very surprised as all of their other cereals are so darn good! Just my humble opinion. I haven't looked at them yet to compare but check the Kashi cereals, I know they are higher in Protein. Good Luck on your quest!

I've tried that cereal and I did like it. I stopped buying it because I am a carb addict and cereal in general is not a good way for me to start my day regardless of the Protein content. If you can eat it and it does not set you on the wrong track then I say go for it. Good luck.

My nutritionist advises against processed cereals as there are carbs that aren't getting reported in them. Her rule of thumb is that the carbs need to be 1/2 the Protein. So with the milk, you are looking at 36g of carbs and 21g protein. I'm at 60g carbs for the day, so to me that's a lot. Just means more cardio :D.

I haven't tried any "cold" cereals since my surgery. I'm currently week7 and have only had oatmeal (good grain, low carb, no sugar). I did previously find the KASHI Go Lean CRUNCH cereals good prior to surgery... I haven't found many Protein benefits to cereal other than the added skim milk...but if it helps get the grams in, I'm willing to try it! :)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
