Cereal

Cereal, depending on the brand, can be a great way to start your day with fiber, protein, and whole grains…

…or you could be filling your stomach with tons of sugar and sodium.

Seemingly healthy cereals pack in the sugar to taste better than their healthier competition and need to be carefully looked at before purchasing.

Make the healthier choice: Read the nutrition facts on any cereal you are going to buy.

Try to stay under 8 grams of sugar per serving and look for at least 3 grams of fiber.

Also try to stick with cereals that contain whole grains.
