We frequently recommend a high fiber cereal to start the day off right.  There are many selections in markets today but don’t be confused by all of the “marketing claims.”  Just because a box or label says “made with whole grain” or “healthy” doesn’t make it so.  Of course whole grains are recommended, but many cereals marketed as healthy fail to meet these three goals for a healthy high fiber cereal.

Look for the following in each serving as a good guide:

• Total Fat : less than 2g per serving
• Fiber : more than 5g per serving
• Sugar : less than 6 g per serving
