Worst Cereal
Quaker 100% Natural Granola, Oats, Honey & Raisins (1 cup)
420 calories
12 g fat (7 g saturated)
6 g fiber
30 g sugars
For the record, granola, for all its reputation as a beacon of breakfast virtue, is one of the worst ways to start your day. That�s because it takes an awful lot of sugar to keep those clusters glued together, making a single cup as sweet as two bowls of Cocoa Pebbles and as calorie-dense as 8 chicken wings. Even scarier, with the Cocoa Pebbles, you�d get more fiber and save about 60 calories in fat. Go one step further and swap the Granola for Kashi GoLean. Do this every day this year and you�ll save 29 pounds!
Eat This Instead!
Kashi GOLEAN (1 cup)
140 calories
1 g fat (0 g saturated)
10 g fiber
6 g sugars

Yeah, that Quaker 100% stuff rocks. I haven't been to Costco for a couple of months, I need my fix of that cereal, ASAP. And you can't go wrong with that big a$$ box of Quaker Oatmeal. But I hate the varieties they have in there: regular, banana nut, apple cinnamon, maple & brown sugar, cinnamon & spice, and cinnamon roll. m&bs and cinn&s are too similar as it is, so what do they do? They throw in the cinnamon roll. I'd could use raisin & spice or peaches & cream.
Lately, I've been eating Tesco Cranberry Squares, those are good and only 17 grams of sugar per serving. I'd get the chocolate crispie cereal that they make, but it's a little over 7,000 won for a box. |
