Breakfast cereal

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
