Cereal

in October 2010 Weddings

Does a bowl of cereal really fill you up for breakfast?

That's what I had for breakfast this morning, then around 10:30, I was starving, so I had a few strawberries.  And now it's 11:30 and I'm starving again!

Just curious if I am the only person who does not get full (even temporarily!) from a bowl of cereal...

    If I eat cereals that are high enough in fiber and/or protein they usually keep me full - especially Kashi brand cereals and granolas.

    I love eating cereal, but I'm always hungry an hour or 2 later. I actually found that when I drink a slimfast for breakfast I can hold out until lunch.

    I'm not much of a cereal eater but lately I've been into granola type cereal which really seems to fill me up more so than other types.  I never eat a big breakfast though, most mornings it's just a small thing of yogurt.  Whether or not I get hungry before lunch really depends on the day.  Some days I'm not hungry for lunch at all and I typically eat it around 12:30pm, but other days I'm starving by 11am.

    I absolutely love cereal! I am like the cereal queen at my house. Usually when I eat cereal thats healthy like special K or wheaties it tends to stay with me longer but I always get a little bit hungry by 10 so I take a snack to work.

    Maybe part of the problem is that I only like the bad for you kinds!  But I even bought a fiber cereal not long ago, and that didn't do it for me either. 

    I think I just eat WAY too much!

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one, though, who gets hungry before lunch.

    Really?  I was dying of hunger maybe two weeks ago and the woman I work with gave me a can to have for breakfast to hold me over.  My belly was on fiiiire two hours later.  I was so mad because I was ever more hungry than before that lol

    Maybe its just psychological for me then haha. But it keeps me more full than a bowl of cereal. Now if i had a legit b-fast like eggs, bacon, and toast...then no that would certainly keep me going longer. But between getting up early and making a big bfast, or sleeping in....sleep always wins.

    Cereal does nothing for me.  Now, I don't eat cereal to have a healthy breakfast, I eat cereal because I want coco puffs or lucky charms.. ykwim?!  So that stuff never stays with me for more than about an hour.

    I must be hungry because as soon as I read Lucky Charms I went "mmmmmm" out loud lol.  I haven't had those in forever, might have to add it to the grocery list this week.

    Nope, never, which is why I rarely eat it.  However, my ideal goal is to eat something every 3 hrs anyways.

    I love cereal, and agree with what some PP have said.  The high fibre, non-sugary stuff (like All-bran, Kashi granola etc) does fill me up and carries me well into lunch.  If I'm throwing down Super chocolate marshmallow sugar puffs, then I'm hungry again way before lunch.

    I find that cereals like brown sugar miniwheats are an ok combination of fibre and sugar.  I find I can usually get by until lunch on a bowl of those.
