Just a quick question. I would like to know if eating cereal is ok or not. In a very small bowl of course. Whole grain like LIFE Cereal.

Thanks for all your input.

For some reason I can eat a lot of cereal. As long as I chew and not swollow any air it is a slider food. Talking like a cup plus milk and that is a bad thing because when I just want to eat it is an easy over eat for me so I try not to have it in the house.

I eat cereal on occasion. I love a bowl of cereal. My issue is with proper restriction it can be somewhat difficult eating with a liquid as it causes me to gurgle.

I eat cereal almost every morning. I usually have mini-wheats with sliced bananas and soy milk, but do have sugar cereals on occasion.

I too believe that everything in moderation is good, and I definiely don't see carbs as bad, again, in moderation.

I also really like the FiberOne cereals, they are loaded with lots of fiber and other nutrients, although they do have more sugar than I'd like. Oh well, to get my fiber, sometimes I have to have a bit more sugar than I'd prefer, no biggie!

For the last 3 weeks I have been eating cereal everyday. I eat the Special K with extra protein. It has 11 grams of protein in 3/4 cup, that's pretty awesome! It totally keeps me full for about 4-5 hours, just 3/4 of a cup with some skim milk. Now, it really doesn't have much flavor but if you add some splenda or fresh fruit it touches the taste up. It's for sure worth it for the protein!!

If you find a 100% whole grain, no or low sugar cereal, it should be actually good for you. Complex Carbs are OK in moderation.

I bought a cereal called Uncle Sam. Added a small 1/2 tsp of splenda, it satisfied my craving for grains. Yum.

Instead of milk, trying mixing your favorite cereal with some greek yogurt. Tastes great, stops it from being a slider food, and adds TONS of protein.

the Kashi brand of ceral makes a high protein variety that is actually quite good. It is whole grain and the protein in it helps curb the appetite until lunch time. It's a very healthy choice if you like cereal, and quite filling. In the winter I also eat oatmeal and cream of wheat. I add unflavored protein powder and it lasts me well into the afternoon. Use skim milk to watch your fat, and you're good to go!!! I try to limit cereal to twice a week. On other days I eat yogurt, cottage cheese and soft scrambled eggs.
