10 Low Calorie Breakfast Cereals
Top 10 Low Calorie Breakfast Cereals

We have done quite a few reviews of breakfast cereals over the years, so we combed through the archives and picked the 10 of our favorite Low Calorie Cereals. Kashi brand cereals dominate the list - no real surprise there, but who would have thought Lucky Charms would be on it?! The nutrition facts are for a 1 cup serving size, and the cereals chosen have a rating of at least 4 out of 5 kisses (each cereal is linked to the review).

Have you tried Cascadian Farms Clifford Crunch? I still adore it, and hold it up there past some of your other cereals. A must-try!

Mother's 100% Natural Whole Grain Instant Oatmeal is 150 calories for a 1/2 cup serving but 1/4 cup of the oatmeal with cut 1/2 cup of berries with Cinnamon added is only 120 calories and very satisfying. And unlike the other choices on the list won't leave you with a sugary feeling.

This list is not wrong - this is based on the cereals that HAVE BEEN REVIEWED on this site. We have not reviewed every cereal out there - and we are also including only the ones that we thought tasted delicious.

We will review some Trader Joe cereals since we are hearing all these fabulous things abouth them - and add them to the list in the future.

I think that the title for your blog entry is a little misleading... or more likely, you need to review more cereals. I can't believe Special K Red Berries is not on the list with 110 cal/cup and 10g sugar. Safeway's Honey Nut Toasted Oats also tastes great and has the same nutritionals. I'd rank those two over any of your top 10. Just my opinion.
You may want to include the word "Delicious" in the title if that is one of the main criteria for making it onto your list.

Special K Red Berries might be low in calories but that doesn't make it nutritious. My favorite low cal cereals would probably be : Kashi Heart to Heart, Kellogs Complete Wheat Bran, Nature's path flax plus multi -grain flakes and Kellog's All Bran

I was surprised to see Lucky Charms on the list. I personally buy cereals that arent just low in calories but also high in other nutrional facts. Kashi does rate to be one of the highest howeve watch some of their cereals they contain sugars and fillers that arent so nutrional. I love Kashi's high fiber & protein. Will go with Cheerios also just because I can have them at my desk and snack on them without the mess. Keep up the articles. Thx!
