Take a look at the side of the box. Does the P/C/F profile fit your dietary needs?
Cereal goooood.
You have to look the amount of sugar for some of them.

Most cereals are way too processed...high GI and contain a tonne of sugar. Stick with hot cereals like Oatmeal (traditional) or even cream of wheat.
I fyou cannot stomach that try All Bran....combine the buds with oem flakes and add fresh fruit and even some plain yogurt.

Both. Altho is much more important you cut this when cutting. Bulking allows a little more leeway (and more fat gain 
)
)
I normally eat froot loops!
It has about 15 grams of sugur...and then the milk has like 12 grams
So do you think this is ok when bulking?(me being skinny

put it this way, pretty much if you see a commercial for it, has some cool logo/mascot, or you get a free toy, the cereal probably ain't good for ya. It tast good but they most likely have too much sugar

Kids cereals are my achilles heal!
Its good post workout or on a refeed....but opt for FiberOne or Uncle Sam cereal with a protein shake poured over it on an avg day unless your like 12 in which case it doesnt matter.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is like a drug. Once I start, I can't stop.
honey nut cheerios, i used to eat about 5 bowls a day, i am willing to wager that for someone my age i have eaten more cereal then anyone else on the planet, growing up i would only eat cereal and macaroni and cheese, and i am seriously not kidding i ate about 6-7 bowls of cereal a day, which make it kinda wierd cause i haven't had a bowl of cold cereal in about half a year, but i don't really miss it that much cause i love oatmeal
what about this? little sugar.. is it a healthy cereal?

I don't know why people still eat cereals when oatmeal and other hot cereals are around for breakfast. I guess it's convenience or something, but they're not even a fraction as satisfying. I must admit though, if you're on CKD and go on a refeed, cereal is an absolute must. Honey Nut Cheerios are definitely the best ever, they're not too sweet and have that nice toasted oat taste.
Peace.

Sra...they are better than many of the other cold (processed) cereals but still not optimal.....so it's your call...comes down to how strict you are with your eating as well as your goals.
I totally agree with you FF and Premo. IMO if its processed its not in my diet. thats just me though. some bran cereals are fine I suppose. but honestly the fiber in them even doesnt appeal to me-you could easily make hot oat bran cereal and get the same bang for whats in a box minus the unwanted additives, etc.
to each his/her own... we all find something diff that works for us and what we feel we want to put in our bodies.

AMEN. Alas, no sugar for me, bulking OR cutting. At least I love oatmeal, or I'd be in real trouble.
I don't know specifically but ALMOST all cold cereals...even the ones with almost no sugar are VERY high GI. BUT remember that GI matters much less when eaten with other foods...such as protein and fat.
To answer your question tho...my assumption is they're high GI.

I guess...assuming you want a PWO insulin spike...I myself don't follow that regimen when cutting or bulking.
AND like I said...I think there are better alternatives...like natural foods.

I'm not following the insulin spike or the complex carbs for PWO.. When the trainer gave me the new diet plan, I asked him what I need to eat for a PWO snack meal, he said have some carbs and protein.. he wasn't specfic to what kind of carbs..
I've been eating whole wheat crackers from whole foods or wild oats organic super markets.
Ingridients: Salt, whole wheat
8 crackers = 120 cals, .5F, 25 C, 2-3 Fiber, 4P
do you think having 8 crackers = 25 Carbs with some berries or strawberries in my protein shake is a good PWO meal? or does that still be considerd as a PWO insulin spike?

I do not recommend crazkers...I would have whey and blended berries OR a shake and then as soon as you get home egg whites and oatmeal or chicken and brown rice or a sweet potato.
Another option...if you're on the go...whey protein with a nice juicy apple.
Contrary to "theories" you hear...fructose(monosaccharide from fruit) can replenish muscle glycogen and liver glycogen....this is a FACT OF BIOCHEMISTRY.

what's wrong with crackers? is it the Hi -GI?
I won't have my second meal not till 3 hours after my post workout meal.. so I need to have carbs with my PWO shake
An apple with a shake is good for Post workout? that helps with building muscles?

Jen, Oat bran> oatmeal.
I love oat bran.
Just had a second bowl of it for my PWO meal 2, had it for breakfast, too.
Peace.
