Sure, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but if you’re loading up on high-sugar, nutrient-poor choices, you’re robbing yourself of the payoff. Many popular cereals marketed as healthy choices are actually high in sugar and low in fiber, meaning they fill you with calories but little else. To choose wisely look for cereals with at least three grams of fiber per serving (the more the better). Fiber will not only protect your heart and help keep blood sugar regulated, it’ll keep you full longer. Also look for a ratio of total carbohydrate to sugar that’s no more than 4-to-1. So, if carbohydrates add up to 20 grams, sugar content should be no more than five grams per serving. This ensures most of the cereal’s carbs come from good sources – grains as opposed to sugars.
