What is The Best American Cereal?

[@Dollop_of_Mayo]

At first I was mad Froot Loops were rated so low but then I realized it's probably not normal for humans to enjoy the smell and flavor of floor cleaner.

[@jonathenpoooth1259]

Plus they all taste the same

That’s why I as an American don’t eat these for the most part(quaker life and rice krispies still have an iron grip on my quick breakfasts though)

To be fair, while adults may eat these on occasion, it's kids that typically the customer. There are adult cereals that have significantly less sugar. But most of these were my childhood breakfast and I still love to eat these on occasion, especially as a topping to ice cream or in a milkshake.

[@r09d98]

Correlation or causation?

[@wavenp]

Something weird I realised while reading labels the other day. Fruit Loops contains less sugar than most "adult cereals that have significantly less sugar". I was really confused. Don't know if that's true, or Fruit Loops uses some kind of loophole to reduce the number on the label.

[@roymarshall_]

@@wavenp I once walked down the grocery aisle and calculated calorie density for every cereal I could see. Fruit loops was at the bottom. Not by a ton, but they are slightly lower calorie per gram than most other cereals. I do think the whole idea that "adult cereals" are in any way healthier is just marketing. Everything about cereal is marketing. Cereal is simply not good for you. Its empty/high glycemic index carbs, whether from the wheat flour or from the sugar.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

@@wavenp You have to look at sugar per calories to really get an understanding. Many adult cereals have larger serving sizes so have more calories on the label including sugar. Fruit Loops appears to have 12g of sugar for 150 calorie serving. I looked up a random cereal and it was Special K Protein. That has 9g of sugar but 220 calorie portion. So fruit loops is 12.5 calories to 1g of sugar ratio and Special K Protein has 24.4 calories to each 1g of sugar so Fruit loops has twice the sugar for each calorie. I tend to choose my cereals by looking at which have the highest protein + fiber for each calorie (or lowest calorie for each protein+fiber). Since all calories are fat, protein and carbs and the carbs are broken down into fiber (good), sugar (bad) and regular carbs (bad but not as bad sugar). Cereals usually have minimal fat so the more that is coming from protein and fiber, the less that is coming from sugar and non-fiber carbs. Protein & fiber are not only healthy but also make you feel full. Using those two cereals, Special K Protein has 21g fiber+protein per 220 calories and fruitloops has 4g fiber+protein per 150calories. Special K Protein has 10.5 calories for each fiber+protein and fruit loops has whooping 37.5 calories per fiber+protein, 3.5x the number of calories for each fiber+protein.

Try Captain Crunch Berries to really blow your mind! The Frosted Mini Wheats are probably my favorite from this list, but I even prefer the plain version. They transition from start to finish as they get soggier. You probably would like Grape Nuts, try those.

[@talinerdogan]

[@attgig]

My fav cereal is Corn Pops (the Canadian/French version, not the American one). It's super simple and not too sweet. Like a lighter version of Cap'n Crunch. It's also a great snack, dry, straight from the box. My brother's favourite is Shredded Wheat - the giant ones - with Orange Juice... I can't account for his tastes.

I hope you do another Rating American Cereals in the future, because there are so many you didn’t have. Not only just in name but variety. Like, you had the Cap’n Crunch but the Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries hits different. So some recommendations: Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries Multigrain Cheerio’s Chex (at least Corn, Rice and Wheat) Cookie Crisps Cocoa Pebbles Crispix Corn Pops Cracklin’ Oat Bran Fruity Pebbles Grape Nuts Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds Honeycomb Honey Graham Os Honey Smacks Kix Krave (I find this disgusting by my kids love it) Oatmeal Squares Pumpkin Seed + Flax Granola (by Nature’s Path, I was addicting to this for awhile) Raisin Bran

Id say cut that list down to Crunch Berries, Cookie Crisps, Grape Nuts, HoneyComb, and Raisin Bran. the rest arent that different from what he already had.

Apple cinnamon cheerios is better than apple jacks for that flavor, also missed out on Capt crunch peanut butter, it's so much better than the Reese's. I love packing some dry shredded wheat to munch on if I needa go fast.
