So you’re looking to cut morning calories out and maintain a nutrient-rich diet? Don’t throw out the cereal box! Whole grain breakfast options will solve this diet dilemma. You can have your cereal and eat it too.

"Those trying to keep the bathroom scale steady this holiday season may find an effective ally at the breakfast table: high-fibre cereal," writes Sally Squires in The Washington Post. "University of Rhode Island researchers reported recently that women who ate fibre-rich, whole-grain cereal did better in controlling their calories in a three-month study than did participants who ate less fibre-full fare."

Here’s yet another testament to the importance of eating a healthy, hearty breakfast. Include whole grain cereal and milk along with some fruit and yogurt each morning. Your stomach won’t be growling for more food an hour later - and you won’t be overeating at lunch and dinner.
