What kind of cereal are you guys eating?

shilala · 02-19-2010, 10:27 AM

I'm about five boxes into Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, and if I eat one more bowl I think I will surely snap. It's way too healthy and I think my body has developed an aversion to pretty much anything that's good for me.
I've been a die-hard Cinnamon Toast Crunch guy for years, but that got old, too.
I have to find something else I can eat for lunch before I fade away.

Cereal for lunch?

Of course. I don't do breakfast. I seldom eat or drink anything until after one in the afternoon. Today was an exception, but I got up around 5:00 (instead of 7:00, when I normally drag my ass out of bed).

Ahh. Well, I hate to say it but I'm a honey bunches of oats (with almonds) fan myself. As for sugary cereal, I go with coco puffs or Reese's puffs.

The times that I do eat cereal, I eat Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. It tastes good for a healhy cereal. Honey Nut Cheerios would be my second choice.

I usually don't have time to sit and eat cereal. I keep a few boxes of cereal bars at my desk at work and eat one when I get to my desk in the morning.

My wife is preggo and trying to watch sugar intake - we found it surprising that Honey Nut Cheerios have more sugar than Honey Bunches of Oats.

How I've managed to avoid it so far is a mystery to me. I should have it something awful, but so far, so good. I'm getting better as I get older, eating better stuff and more "regularly". I still haven't broke through that "eating in the morning" barrier. It makes me sick.
Hopefully that'll iron out before too long.

wayner123 · 02-19-2010, 10:36 AM

And the Malt O Meal bag version is way cheaper and personally, just as good (OK, almost as good). And, if your store has it, it comes in an "family size" bag.

My 7 year old is on a Peanutbutter Crunch kick right now but If I feel like a sugary kids cereal I tend to lean twords Count Chocula.

J0eybb · 02-19-2010, 10:59 AM

Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, Honey Nut Cheerios, and Luck Charms.

mikeandshellie2 · 02-19-2010, 11:03 AM

I also eat Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, so mark me down for that one and then i also have Golden Grahams in the pantry and if I'm lucky and the kids haven't ate all of them I like a bowl of Cookie Crisp.

MarkinAZ · 02-19-2010, 08:53 PM

Gotta have breakfast in the morning, and usually its one of the following:

big bowl of raisen bran.
grape nuts w/raisens.
cook rice w/milk and raisens (did I mentions raisens?).
and sometimes when my daughter isn't looking (and she gets really po'd if she catches me), I dip into her stash of peanut butter capt crunch

Gotta go with Trix, they're not just for kids!

My wife gave me crap for eating 'unhealthy' cereal. She eats some sort of organic Kashi granola type stuff. Turns out my Trix has more vitamins and less bad stuff per serving. Granted, that's because the percentages are calculated by weight and the serving size is volumetric, so the heavier Kashi cereal takes a hit... but still, I won that fight
