Choosing Dry Cereals

Click on image to enlarge 
I have noticed some of the cereals people have been posting have a lot of sugar.  If for example you eat a cereal with 10 grams of sugar, then this is 1/4 of your sugar allotment for the day.  Depending on what you eat the rest of the day, this could be quite a bit to have just for breakfast.  

Furthermore, while 3 grams of fiber is good, aim for cereals with 5 or more grams of fiber.  Bottom line:  More fiber - less added sugar!
