i've been trying to decide on a cereal to eat in the morning, i'm stuck between special k and golean cereal. i'm only interested in the special k because it has so many vitamins and alot of them, i don't know if the golean has that. has anyone tried both of these? which do you prefer for nutritional value?

I posted this in another thread sometime back maybe this can assist you:
You dont want cereal to encompass a large portion of your diet, but there are some good cereals out there devoid of bad ingredients (refined white sugar, HFC, and other items):
1. Steel Cut oats, Old Fashioned Cut Oats, and Regular Cut Oats (quick cook type), in large containers.
2. Various types of Go Lean Kashi cereals.
3. Fiber-One.
4. Grape Nuts, I have been reviewing this product for a few days (looking for another different carb source), and thus far it doesnt appear to be a bad source cereal: (no need to provide source for ingedients, all one has to do is look on the label)
GRAPE-NUTS:
Ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT FLOUR, WHEAT FLOUR, MALTED BARLEY FLOUR, SALT, DRIED YEAST, SOY LECITHIN. VITAMINS AND MINERALS: REDUCED IRON, NIACINAMIDE, ZINC OXIDE (SOURCE OF ZINC), VITAMIN B6, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), THIAMIN MONONITRATE (VITAMIN B1), FOLIC ACID, VITAMIN B12, VITAMIN D.
Its devoid of any "added in" sugars, and from what I have read on Lecithin, this is used in many bread products for various reasons, and isnt a bad ingredient.
5. Shredded Wheat and Shredded Wheat and Bran:
POST SHREDDED WHEAT ORIGINAL SPOON SIZE
Ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT
TO PRESERVE THE NATURAL WHEAT FLAVOR, BHT IS ADDED TO THE PACKAGING MATERIAL.
============================================================================
Post Shredded Wheat and Bran
Ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT AND WHEAT BRAN.
TO PRESERVE THE NATURAL WHEAT FLAVOR, BHT IS ADDED TO THE PACKAGING MATERIAL.
Both are devoid of any "added in" sugars.
=====================================================
In addition, there is nothing that says you can't break the "traditional" breakfast and have something healthy other than cereal.
Best wishes for continued success!

mixed a half cup of go lean, a half cup of go lean crunch, 1 medium banana, and 3/4 cup milk, and sprinkle with lots of cinamon....tastes great
if you are bulking just raise it to 3/4 cup each type and 1 cup milk
