As I'm approaching 120 pounds lost since last year, I'm just thinking man, what would I do without cereal lol. One of my biggest guilty pleasures was eating a full pack of cookies with milk roughly 2000 just for one "snack" not including everything else I ate during the day.
I've always loved cereal, so making this a core part of my daily eating is huge for me, and oftentimes I eat 2-3 servings a day (a serving is no more than 300 calories for me, usually one cup of cereal with 1/2 cup whole milk). Yeah some cereal has very high added sugar amounts, but I stick to the cereals that I don't deem as too bad since they also have huge amounts of fiber and sometimes protein such as Mini-wheats and raisin bran.
One of the best things about cereals is just the vast amount of variety available, it never makes cereal boring to eat. I can eat chocolate or strawberry mini-wheats, cinnamon special K (high protein), among many others. However the real life saver is the rare times I feel like eating cookies, I just buy Cookie Crisps or Reese's puffs. A cup without milk is like 150-180 calories, way better than the 2000 calories splurge I used to do.
On a side note, I recently discovered the Fiber One 70 calories brownies, my gawd. A pack has 6 brownies (420 calories total) and I splurged on it 3 times last month completely guilt free with 1 cup of milk. All in all 570 calories, the amount of fiber in a pack is like a little over 100% DV, it makes me use the bathroom crazy, but it makes me feel full for a while.
