Good choices of CERAL?



Recommended Posts

I found this Special K Protein CERAL today. One 3/4 cup serving has 10g Protein 120 calories 19g total carbs. With 1 cup of Skim plus milk 11g protein 17g total carbs.

I really love CERAL and was wondering if this was a better choice of one.

Any thoughts....

I just saw that the other day and purchased it also. Kashi Go Lean Crunch has a Honey Almond Flax version that is 9gm of Protein. The only thing I'm being aware of is the additional carbs I'm taking in having Cereal.< /p>

Didn't care for it at all :( This one has NO taste at all and I do like Special K Cerals. It was hard to chew, and I hate to use a cliche but tasted like cardboard. Was very surprised as all of their other cereals are so darn good! Just my humble opinion. I haven't looked at them yet to compare but check the Kashi cereals, I know they are higher in Protein. Good Luck on your quest!

I've tried that cereal and I did like it. I stopped buying it because I am a carb addict and cereal in general is not a good way for me to start my day regardless of the Protein content. If you can eat it and it does not set you on the wrong track then I say go for it. Good luck.

My nutritionist advises against processed cereals as there are carbs that aren't getting reported in them. Her rule of thumb is that the carbs need to be 1/2 the Protein. So with the milk, you are looking at 36g of carbs and 21g protein. I'm at 60g carbs for the day, so to me that's a lot. Just means more cardio :D.

I haven't tried any "cold" cereals since my surgery. I'm currently week7 and have only had oatmeal (good grain, low carb, no sugar). I did previously find the KASHI Go Lean CRUNCH cereals good prior to surgery... I haven't found many Protein benefits to cereal other than the added skim milk...but if it helps get the grams in, I'm willing to try it! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
