Yeah i stopped eating cereal because it would seriously put me into a rage...i would start shaking...i'm looking into angerment issues...anywhoo now I love oatmeal with pumpkin and fiber one. It is 1/2 cup oats cooked in 1 cup water, add 1/4 cup pumpkin when almost done cooking, stir in to let the pumpkin heat up. Dispense into bowl, add sweetener, cinnamon and then 1/3 cup fiber one. I also like to make breakfast tacos by sauteeing some mushrooms, onions, tomatos and bell peppers. Once those are done i throw in some black beans (1/4 cup) and then let those heat up. Then i add 1/2-2/3 cup of egg beaters (depending on how hungry I am). Let those cook and then stuff it into two regular sized LTF tortillas with salsa. And i always have my coffee and water.

Kashi Cereals are usually pretty good!  They have fewer preservatives and usually a fairly high amount of fiber.  The only downfall is that Kashi seems to be on the more expensive side.  Oatmeal with raisins, fruit or nuts mixed in is always a good option!

I like to make a breakfast sandwich with a toasted englishmuffin and a 'fried' egg, but I use fat-free cooking spray so I'm not frying the egg in any fat.  Sometimes I add a slice of cheese or ham or both.  Other days I eat an english muffin or light toast w/ peanut butter, sometimes I add jelly.  Other days I eat oatmeal.  Sometimes I eat a little bit of leftovers from dinner from the week.

a thomas' light whole wheat english muffin and peanut butter. make sure you get the english muffins in the kind with 8 grams of fiber per serving. =)

for a treat/unhealthy breakfast, i make grits and eat it with "fried" egg whites (cooked with a nonstick spray), and some bacon with most of the fat taken off before i cook them. it sounds really unhealthy, but it's less than 300 calories. =) my mom's bf is from north carolina, so he got us into the whole grits sensation.

BREAKFAST 300 CALORIES / 20 grams FIBER

• one cup Kashi Go Lean Cereal
• one half cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze
• one toasted Thomas' light multigrain english muffin
• two tablespoons roasted red pepper hummus
• one cube, Laughing cow light gourmet cheese bites

I just grab a Slim Fast for breakfast, only 180 calories.

I eat Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal. It has less then 1 gram of sugar. It also has 6 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protien. I top it with 2 TBSP of ground organic ground flax seed (Wal-mart). Very filling.

There is a lot of sugar in cold cereal. You have to read all the labels.

kashi go lean is probably the only cereal that has  no to little sugar in it. and no it doesnt taste like cardboard.

 I used to buy various mueslis and cereals until I discovered the wonderful thing that is oatmeal. First of all, you cannot beat it on price - I'm in the UK and I buy it for 69p (about $1.20) per kilogram. One portion for me is about 30g, so I have 33 portions for$1.20!

I love the taste of it, all it takes is a few minutes in the microwave, and it's a bit like blank canvas - sometimes I have it with unsweetened cocoa powder and splenda, sometimes with dried fruit, sometimes with a banana, sometimes even with a splash of cherry liqueur!.
