Do a lot of people actually add fruit to their cereal? I only started eating more fruit once I'd replaced cereal.

There are plenty of great cereals. Fiber one is basically 75% of your daily fiber in 200 calories, You can find plenty of examples. I feel like nobody on the Internet understands the availability of trash does not exclude quality from being in a product space.

Not a bad point to make! I eat grape nuts, which I am at least pretty sure is very decent.

I also eat trash cereals, but typically those are replacements for candy or dessert.

Getting 75% of my daily fiber at breakfast and then another 75% of my daily fiber just from eating normally the rest of the day sounds like a lot. I can only see this being a good thing in like a food desert or medical situation where vegetables aren't an option.

Bananas in corn flakes are one of my favorites. Strawberries are great too. I've never tried blueberries in life cinnamon but honestly I bet it'd slap

I did for a few years when I ate cereal regularly. Now I add it to yogurt with homemade granola.

I’ll do fresh bananas or frozen berries, but it’s a waste of fresh berries and too much of a hassle for other fruit, imo.

I add bananas to corn flakes. I used to add extra raisins to Raisin Bran.

I do occasionally. It makes bland cereal (grape-nuts and corn flakes) palatable without just dumping a bunch of sugar on it.

You always put the cereal bowl in the milk bowl so the cereal doesn't get soggy.

The waves on the south sea of milk were choppy all month as we voyaged from the buttered bread bay to the coffee or tea isles., My cereal boat was rocked from tip to trough. Several were lost at sea, and those who remained had to contest with the unending motion sickness and repairs.

The whole nutrition facts section feels cherry picked too. Portion sizes are way too small. Every snack food ends up being 140 calories and like 27-31 grams, regardless of what it is. I wish everything was, like, per 10 grams or some other measurement from which I can extrapolate how big a piece of shit I am easily. I don't want 27 grams of cereal, I want 40 because I'm a child trapped in an adult's body, so now I gotta do the cross multiplying thing I learned when I was a kid, and I guess it's good to stay fresh, but I don't want to.

All that being said, calorie counting apps are fantastic for anyone interested in keeping tabs on their bad habits. Not necessarily fixing them, just giving some ammo for when they're depressed and shitting all over themselves.

Because you're supposed to eat the bowl, obviously. The milk is just there for the bowl to float upon.
