Thread: Cream of Wheat for Breakfast

Cream of Regular Wheat is pretty processed, so I imagine the GI is high, and it would lack fibre and things. I find even the "whole wheat farina" (cream of whole wheat, but did you know that Cream of Wheat is a trademark?) doesn't really "stick with me" for some reason. Thus I don't usually bother with it, since I'll be starving again half an hour later.

As for the mini-wheats, are they the things like petite Shredded Wheat biscuits? Nothing but whole wheat and a touch of preservative perhaps? Don't see any reason why there'd be anything wrong with that, if you like it. (Unless you happen to have wheat sensitivities of course.)

I had not thought about the cream of wheat "sticking" for 3 hours. Not hungry yet (been only 2 hours), but now that I think about it, maybe I am getting a little hungry.

The mini wheat is the shredded wheat with not added sugars or processing. I have had oatmeal as the first meal for almost 4 months now, with only a few exceptions. I just did not feel like oatmeal this morning and wanted a change. I eat cottage cheese as meal 4 or 5 and did not feel like that either. I found the cream of wheat in the cupboard and went for it. Thanks for the input.

Phred, where in Sac do you live? My dad lives in El Dorado Hills and sadly, we used to live in Woodland lol.

i like to eat cream of wheat post workout cause of the higher gi, plus it is lower in fat and fiber. I make it with cocoa powder the night before. put it in the fridge, and the next day i heat it up and slice a banana and eat it on top pwo. Let me tell you when you eat food this good who needs a "cheat"

I live near Elk Grove, on the north east side. My outlaws live in Folsom, not to far from El Dorado Hills.
