Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / June 2004Breakfast cereal
Hello Could someone tell me what the best breakfast cereal is if you're on a diet? I enjoy all types of flakes and muesli, so if someone could tell me a brand name ( e.g. Kellogg's Bran Flakes ), I'd appreciate it. Thank you. I suppose it can be a matter of taste on the cereal but I consider that the muesli type, even the ones with no sugar added, are quite high in carbs due to the fruits that they contain. The fruits are a source of sugar. So I tend to eat either Kellogg's All-Bran or Bran-Flakes. If you are measuring the amount that you eat I find that I can have more of these compared to the same calorific value of a muesli. Sheesh when I have weighed out some more exotic mueslis I could have missed out the bowl and just used a spoon I'm sure :)  SignatureBest wishes Bob I enjoy General Mills Fiber One. Serving size 1/2 cup. 60 Calories (100 with 1/2 c Skim milk) 14g dietary fiber (that is over 50% RDA) I just kick it up a notch with some raisins and a little cinnamon.

Go to the store, pick out a box of what you like, turn it on the side and read the label. Purchase cereal, go home, get a measuring cup, measure out the amount on the side of the box, pour into a bowl. Measure out your milk, pour into bowl. Eat. Now, for the rest of the day, adjust your food intake accordingly so that the bowl of cereal you ate will work with the rest of your intake so that you are eating less than your body needs and you will lose weight. >>Hello >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > so that you are eating less than your body needs and you will lose > weight. I second what JayJay said. For me, a higher fiber cereal works best. I like several of the ones in the Kashi line as well as Uncle Sam cereal. YMMV. Measuring the portion is key for me though. Signaturejmk in NC >I second what JayJay said. I like jayjay's advice too. So simple, so true. I'll be going on a brief self-catering holiday soon. With regard to breakfast, I'll make sure that I take my cereal with me. I eat Shredded Wheat. One large biscuit with milk is just right for me. One advantage is that you don't have to weigh the quantity when eating Shredded Wheat! SignatureFranklin Smart > >I second what JayJay said. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Wheat. One large biscuit with milk is just right for me. One advantage is > that you don't have to weigh the quantity when eating Shredded Wheat! I would add that you should choose a cereal with a lot of fiber. I find it rather difficult to get my 25g daily of fiber without eating a fiber-rich cereal. I like All - Bran with Extra Fiber...but I can only eat it with Splenda and strawberries. I also like Kashi - Go Lean. Not quite as much fiber but a little tastier. I think that a lot of the sugary, high-carb cereal out there can actually make you hungrier (at least, that's what happens to me.) I need a bit more protein and fiber in the morning to keep me going until lunch. But you do need to measure out the amount. Cheryl >>>Hello >>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >like several of the ones in the Kashi line as well as Uncle Sam cereal. > YMMV. Measuring the portion is key for me though. I'm quite fond of both Kashi Good Friends and Kashi GoLean... I do measure though. This mornings breakfast... .75 cup Kashi GoLean .5 cup vanilla soymilk 1tbsp flax meal 1srv Designer Protein (vanilla) 1 small nectarine, sliced Very tasty! This is a fairly typical breakfast... I usually make a plain omelette a bit later. More often, at least during season, I have a grapefruit as my fruit. During summer, often cantaloupe on the side. Cynthia >>Hello >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Go to the store, pick out a box of what you like, turn it on the side > and read the label. Both labels: First, the INGREDIENTS. That way you will know exactly what is in your food. If you read only *one* label, that is the one to read. THEN, the "Nutritional Info". I find that to be less informative than the actual ingredients, but it breaks it down into calories, carbs, fat, etc. SignatureThe post you just read, unless otherwise noted, is strictly my opinion and experience. Please interpret accordingly. > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thank you. I'm not a cereal eater but love oatmeal. I mix it with a scoop of protein powder, a spoon of ground flax seed and pop in the microwave. I very tasty, quick and nutritional breakfast. Beverly I haven't had a bowl of cold breakfast cereal in one year (as of today) and I don't miss it a bit. Steel cut oatmeal is the only way to go! Susan 260/192/140 > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thank you. >Hello > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Thank you. Kashi Go Lean - 13 grams protein, 10 grams fiber per serving. Peter |
