Do you eat cereal? (1 Viewer)

[fantasycurse42]

I've been getting more into cereal after a decade long hiatus bc my son enjoys it...

Cereal hasn't changed much in the last decade. My favorites (basically the same since I was a little kid):

Cookie Crisp

Lucky Charms

Honeycombs

Honorable Mentions:

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Raisin Bran

 

[El Floppo]

no wonder your thighs are chaffing walking around.

 

[TLEF316]

Pretty much every day.

 

[Tom Servo]

Every once in a while, but when I do, it's this.

 

[Scoresman]

Kix and frosted flakes are the best.

Never had, might give the regular Choc a try.

i ate cereal every day for breakfast from age 5 to 26, took a 10 year break because i know i realized how unhealthy it was.. now my small son eats cheerios occasionally.. so i got back into pouring a bowl and chopping up some banana in it.. awesome.

My guilty pleasure cereals though are Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinammon Life is also pretty high on the list.. as is grape nuts with extra raisins.

[TheIronSheik]

I love eating cereal for dinner. Or just as a snack late at night.

 

[eoMMan]

Not so much anymore. It's not really healthy and the milk tends to give me bubbleguts.

 

[Da Guru]

Only oatmeal now. Used to love Rice Krispies and Sugar Pops.

While I agree there are much healthier options, it isn't the most unhealthy either.

 

[jon_mx]

Lately, I will chop up a banana, some strawberries, black berries, and top with granola and nuts then pour some milk over it. I eat that most days.

name some breakfasts that you think are less healthy than those cereals you listed... just curious.

 

[Cjw_55106]

I eat it occasionally, but never for breakfast. I hate buying it for the kids (but i do) because it has sooo much sugar. Unless you buy the kinds the kids wont eat.

Bagel and cream cheese

Bacon, egg, and cheese

Bagel with butter

Pancakes and syrup

French Toast and syrup

Any egg combo (for example - eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast)

Waffles with syrup

 

[ZenMaster]

I eat cereal on the weekends. This time of year it's usually Cheerios or the occasional box of Cookie Crisp.

Starting in September/October.......it's time to load up on Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry. Last year they had Fruit Mummy or whatever it was called. I usually buy 3-4 boxes of each.

 

[Peyton Marino]

reese's puffs and it's not close.

 

[urbanhack]

raisin bran or granola with almond milk.

 

[El Floppo]

fwiw- I keep a box of Peace Cereal, Blueberry Pomegranate around for the occasional- out of yogurt or eggs- quickie breakfast. it looks really healthy... but I'm sure it's full o' fat, sugars and carbs.

I'm with this guy.

I usually eat cereal 3 or 4 times a week. Nowadays it's Oatmeal Squares or Honey Bunches of Oats, but for 90+% of my life it's been the kid-oriented sugar cereals. Today it was Cheerios. Cocoa Pebbles and Peanut Butter Crunch are still primo.

 

[Native]

Every once in a while, but when I do, it's this.

My kids (and I) love this

 

[Insein]

Hell yes. Cereal is the one meal i always eat. I dont care how unhealthy or what not blah blah blah. Its he only meal I can prepare completely asleep and not screw up.

Raisin Bran Crunch is my favorite.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Rice Krispies and Frosted Flakes are mainstays. Apple Cinnamon cheerios are also awesome.

 

[Peyton Marino]

I think @shuke would be interested in this thread.

 

[DocHolliday]

Hell yeah I eat cereal. It is a convenient supper when I get home late from work or it makes a good snack.

When I eat cereal for breakfast is is Wheaties or Corn Flakes. When it is a snack is is Cocoa Puffs or those addictive chocolate Krave suckers. That stuff is really just candy.

Not sure how anyone eats Lucky Charms or any other cereal with the marshmallow things in them. Those have always grossed me out.

 

[Amused to Death]

Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, Cheerios (original) on weekends. Also like some Rice Krispies over ice cream.

 

[E-Z Glider]

Occasionally. I make my own granola. Never any of that processed crap.

I just eat tree bark and some dirt. Saves time.

 

[TheIronSheik]

People who answered "No, it's not healthy" are missing the entire point of cereal.

 

[shady inc]

i eat 2-3 bowls of cereal a day. 1 for breakfast around 6:30-7 AM. 1 for an after-work snack (5:30 - 6 PM), and 1 for dessert after dinner (9PM). some of my favorites included chocolate chex, raisin bran crunch, frosted mini wheats, and chocolate frosted flakes

 

[MattFancy]

Love cereal. Usually now, I'll eat a bowl of oatmeal when I'm at work. But on the weekend, it's cereal time. Fruity Pebbles, French Toast Crunch, Froot Loops, etc. I throw in some Kashi Go Lean too just to keep it different.

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

I have a couple of bowls of Kashi Go Lean Crunch a week, which tastes pretty good with fresh blueberries and whole milk.

My favorite cereal is Life but I won't buy it because I could easily eat bowls at a time, and it's basically just eating bowls of sugar.

IDK what this is, but it is now on the radar.

Ignorant question here, but what is so unhealthy about a bowl of Cheerios with some skim milk?

 

[Mr. Ected]

Every once in a while, but when I do, it's this.

My kids love Kraves.

One of my boys has lately turned to this version of Cheerios.

I tend to eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

 

[SWC]

i do not always eat cereal brohans but when i do it is normally miller high life take that to the bank

 

[Kraft...]

I do quite a bit. I'm a picky eater so it's always been a fall back for me. I eat it for dinner a lot when I just don't feel like anything else. My wife cooks, and is a very good cook, but I often just don't feel like eating what she makes, weird.

It's amazing. Way better than Cinnamon Toast Crunch

I don't think this is what people are referring to when describing the average bowl of cereal as being unhealthy.

look at FC's list of cereals. cheerios and skim are a little different than those thigh-chaffers.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I usually have a small bowl when I wake up between 4 and 5. We usually keep 3-4 kinds around: Cheerios, Corn Chex, Rice Chex and Rice Krispies. The 16 y.o. has a box of Reeses Puffs, nobody else eats.

Afterward I shower, get ready, and make the 12 minute walk to the office. Sometime around 6:30 I go downstairs and (most commonly) order a dry bagel and a kale omelet.

The latter has 3-4 eggs, greens, caramelized onions, mushrooms, a 1/2-tomato sliced, and 1 sliced avocado.

my portion is the problem. you see if i just consume the amount in a serving of cheerios, that would probably be a semi-reasonable choice. as would something like Total

But I don't want their recommended portion, i want like 3-4X that, and then things begin to spiral downhill.. not to mention some healthy fats and better protein would make for a better breakfast.

I never had French Toast Crunch during it's first run but after it came back I gave it a shot. Probably my favorite cereal now. As a bonus it makes the leftover milk taste great which isn't always the case with good cereal.

I think you misunderstood the question. It was "do you eat cereal?" Not "What is your entire morning routine?" YWIA

 

[sbonomo]

I can't stand milk so never ate cereal. I am surprised grown adults still eat it, although i guess it is a quick alternative to making breakfast.

You forgot the 400 calories of oil they're cooking the omelette in.

Really? He forgot something? Which chapter was it in?

Cheerios are a highly processed food and skim milk is worse for you than whole milk.

Google "why cereal is bad for you" and "why skim milk is bad for you" and you'll find a million articles.
