Depends on the cereal. You mention no types/brands.

Look for sugars, additives, etc.

Cereal is good in organic low-sugar form. If you're buying major store brands, full of sugar, preservatives and other junk like high-fructose corn syrup, then it's not good for you.

What about Kashi GoLean Crunch? I was recently suprised to find out each serving has 13g of sugar

Should I try and find something else? I usually have 1-2 servings + 8 egg whites for breakfast.

Kashi Golean is not a bad brand, check the ingredients to see if it has any hydrogenated oils or high-fructose corn syrups. If it doesn't you can get started with it. Ideally, you want a high-fiber low sugar cereal.

Oats are the way you wanna go.............top of the line........

 

[SgtSlaughter]

agreed... Organic Rolled Oats with flax seed . If you like them sweet... add a "Splenda" brand sweetner.

Eggs/Egg whites also make for part of a great breakfast.

Oh yeah, all top bodybuilders eat a high quality breakfast consisting of Apple Jacks!

I read somewhere that you want a cereal (like Mr. X noted) without any high fructose corn syrup, and overall a sugar content of less then 5 mg.

I've found that Cheerios & Rice Chex have minimal sugar (I think 2-3mg), no high fructose corn syrup, no fat, carbs around 26-30g and 1-2g fiber. Good stuff with some splenda and skim milk.
