Is cerial bad?

Personally, Id say it depends on the type of cereal you choose. If your getting cocoa puffs, it may not be too good. But some of the better choices out there dont seem that bad.

I know I get a lot of my daily fiber needs from the cereal I eat.
 
Special K is probably good. Apple Jacks and Cookie Crisp I would probably stay away from. I cant say for sure on any of those as I havent looked at the labels of them.

I know I like Grape Nuts, plain cheerios, All Bran, some others I cant think of. I know some of these can be fairly "tasteless", which is a good reason to slice a banana and throw it in or a couple strawberries, blueberries, whatever.
 
Have you tried Kashi Go Lean?

Its 10 grams of fiber and 13g protein per cup. Awesome stuff. Taste isn't stellar, but the stats are awesome.
 
cereal it depends on the amount of sugar it has. If it has lots of sugar in it, it is probably bad for you. I personally eat shredded wheat, grape nuts and Kashi. Pour some splenda in it and it would taste fine. :)
 
Dayam, you guys and your Splenda...

If you don't want the look and taste of eating soil, you can buy Kashi Mighty Kids. Better stats than most cereals, with that great sugaryness we all love.

Is that in 100g? does that include milk?

You need to look at cerial from the point of view that its gonna clean out your insides. You need good fiber every day. and while cerial is not gonna be good for you, its not that bad ether.

I dont know what you guys have in the states but try museli, bran flakes etc... not the kidds cerials. look at the carbs and how much is sugar. look at the fiber and saturated fats. there the most important. dont worry about protien cos cerial is not an efficient way of getting protien.

I think it's a normal serving. Kashi owns at their stats. At first I thought that too but I compared it to another box of regular sugary stuff and the serving size was the same! ****!

Supersized with 2 apple pies and some Mcnugges. . .now that tastes better. oh yes, and a happy meal, just for the toy though. But I'm getting off topic here. Id say a decent non sugary cereal is one of the best things you can eat in the morning.
 
If what you eat in the morning gives you energy and sustains you til lunch time, then it's good.
If it doesn't, then no, it's not good.
 
I consider cereal a vitamin pill! and it maybe even be a cheat food! if it's the worst food you eat, it may not be too bad.....

but, don't kid yourself that it's health food!
