I don't think its technically cereal but my go to almost every morning is a bowl of oatmeal with milk and raisins along with one equal packet to add some sweetness beyond just the raisins. I probably put more milk than most because I like it more like cereal rather than too thick.

Depends what youre looking to do. If youre looking to watch your wait, Id look for a cereal thats high in fiber but low in sugar. If thats the case, Fiber One Honey Clusters is the best bet IMO. On the one hand, its very high in fiber (14 grams!) which means it digests slowly, doesnt get stored as fat and is very filling. On the other hand, its still sweet and tasty due to the use of honey and splenda instead of sugar (only 5 Grams).

Yeah, this is where I stand. If you're really trying to eat healthy, skip cereal altogether. Steel cut Oatmeal or some fruit in the morning instead.

Kashi Island Vanilla Squares and Great Grains are both really good, but if you're going health, it's oatmeal. You'll get used to slogging that stuff down.

This is true... However Cocoa Krispies & Cookie Crisp aren't terrible for you, actually more healthy than Raisin Bran, which is really bad for you.

Never ate oat meal as a kid. I try to now 4 time a week. Oat meal, water, and some kind of frozen fruit. Microwave for ~2:30 and good to go.

These showed up on some fitness sites with good reviews:
Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds"These are way too delicious to be healthy," one staffer declared. The nutrition facts prove otherwise: One bowl delivers close to half the fiber you need in a day. (180 calories per cup)
And this was interesting
Multi Grain Cheerios
110 calories, 2 g protein, 23 g carbs, 1 g fat, 3 g fiber
The familiar Cheerios shape reminded staffers of little doughnuts. And thanks to a light glaze, it didn't have the dry chalky taste many high-fi ber cereals possess. Instead, it's more like a decent quality multigrain bread. Decent, but not outstanding.
OUR EXPERT "'Multigrain' doesn't always mean a cereal's entirely whole grain, although this one guarantees at least 16 of the 48 grams of whole grain you need each day. And it saves you the multivitamin, since a serving contains 100% of your daily quota for B vitamins, iron, vitamin E, and zinc."

Would this be considered an oxymoron for us Frosted Flakes cereal eating folk?

Shredded Wheat Bran. Add a handful of blueberries and toss in a few walnuts. High in Fiber, protein (to make you full) and the blueberries give it some taste and antioxidants.

We learned about breakfast cereal in marketing. The profit margins on it are amazing. It is basically a cheap commodity - agricultural surplus - that is then processed into something more marketable and profitable. Breakfast cereal is convenient, and marketers have us believe that it is intrinsically healthy, when in reality it is just cheap foodstuff that has to have any goodness artificially added - which is why you see that most of it has been fortified with nutrients that we could easily obtain elsewhere in our diet.
Breakfast cereal is basically an invention that was stumbled upon in the late 19th century and marketed as healthy when, in reality, it isn't really good for you. It actually contains compounds that bind to calcium and prevent it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. So when you eat your cereal with milk, it actually leads to less calcium absorption than just drinking the milk by itself.

Steel cut oats with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, maple syrup, raisins and milk is the bomb.
The Kellogg brothers were very religious and created cereal as part of a diet of very bland foods whose purpose was to reduce sex drives...

I've been eating eggs and Greek yogurt with blackberries lately.A few months ago I'd eat an omelette, French toast or Belgian waffles, oatmeal, fruit, cottage cheese, bacon, coffee, fruit juice, a bagel with peanut butter, a banana, and yogurt most mornings. Then I'd be hungry around 10 and have second breakfast. Noon was lunch, 3 was snack time, 5-6 another snack before heading home for dinner (whatever the wife made), ice cream around 9.
