So many cereals say that they are good for you *eg. nutra-grain - iron etc* but contain so much sugar... and cereals like PLUS that look healthly and have like fruity bits in them etc have heaps of sugar too.. i need help choosing something that really IS healthy.
People have said cherios are.. but that also contain heaps of sugar... besides wheat-bix.. what is there?

Go for high fiber and low fat. Make sure you also have some protein in there. Kashi makes a whole line of great products. Look at the sugar content and do not be fooled by cereals that claim to be "whole grain" or "smart choices. Just because cinnamon toast crunch claims whole grain, it is packed with sugar and empty carbs. Also don't fall into the granola trap. Sure it's made with good stuff but it is typically high fat and calorie with as much as 300-400 calories in a half cup and 10 grams of fat. You might as well have eggs and bacon ! Your best bet would be to visit a natural foods or health food store and don't forget to read labels. Follow the portion size as well, usually 3/4 to a cup. Use skim or low fat soy milk to keep calories and fat under control.

All cereals that say "Made WITH whole grain" dont qualify as a whole grain cereals and are not that healthy at all.
Kashi is the best cereals you can find in regular food stores but there are many more in health food stores.

look for cereals in which sugar dosnt appear in the first 5listed ingredients. i know it sounds like a mission, afterall almost all cereals contain sugar in it's first 3ingredients.

Uncle Sam is good healthy cereal and it tastes good too. http://www.usmillsllc.com/usmills/search.php?brand=5
It has flax seeds which are very good for you. They also have an instant oatmeal that's good. You can find it health food stores but some groceries have it too.
