For cereal, you need to look for something with Whole Grains, and no added sugar, or as little as possible. I know General Mills has reformulated all of their cereal products with whole grains, but many of them are still full of sugar.

Just read the labels carefully, and proceed with caution.

Ditto. I know that Wheaties used to have high fructose corn syrup in it, definitely a no no. I don't know if they still do.

Also, we don't eat cold cereal at all, because it doesn't stick around long enough. We eat steel cut oats and cracked kamut. The cooked cereal seems to make a better lump in your stomach. And always eat cereal with protein.
