Shredded whole wheat cereal with low-fat milk is the best choice of conventional breakfast cereals, because it doesn’t contain any added sugar or salt, and is high in fibre. Watch out, though, for the kind with fruit fillings, which may contain added sugar, or that are ‘frosted’ as they will almost certainly will have sugar added. Instead try adding fresh fruit such as a banana or berries for sweetness. Prior to 2011, Nutri-grain had a hefty 32 per cent sugars, all from added sugar, which was its biggest criticism. Kellogg’s Sultana Bran contains 22% of your daily fibre intake with 14.4g to every 100g and as long as you don’t “mention it’s healthy they’ll eat it by the boxful”. There may be a reason that Tony the Tiger has no teeth, with 41.3 grams of a 100g serving containing sugar

Made from corn, wheat, oats and rice, Uncle Toby's Cheerios also has no artificial colours or flavours and is approved by National Heart Foundation. Often companies like Bluebird and Smiths stamp their products with short dates for commercial reasons rather then any accurate reflection of actual food quality.

Sugar-frosted cornflakes are high in sugar and low in fibre as well as usually coming with added salt. Sugar-frosted flakes are usually nutritionally similar to other sweetened cereals like chocolate rice cereals, or honey-nut coated cereals.Swapping to an unsweetened equivalent, like cornflakes or puffed rice, would be a good first step and add a serving of fruit for one of your five- a-day plus some added sweetness. Granola with chocolate has all the same issues that regular granola has, in that it's high in fat and sugar, but with added chocolate - so even more fat and more sugar! Granola with chocolate is best enjoyed as an occasional treat. Frosties, a favourite with the kids and made with Tony the Tiger’s secret formula, weighs in with only 3g per 100g of your daily needs Despite what’s often suggested, Kellogg do not manipulate the Health Star Rating. This has been set by the government and contains both positive and negative elements in its algorithm. By increasing the fibre and already having a high protein, plus lowering the sugar and salt, Kellogg have achieved those four Stars There are no high levels of vegetables, fruits, nuts or legumes to get positive points to offset the negatives of too much sugar, too much salt and not enough fibre. Believe me, I’ve used the algorithm and this is all you have to play with. The bottom line

One other school of thought on the eating breakfast takes a more pragmatic approach: if you’re hungry, eat. If you’re not, don’t. How can I make sure my kids are starting the day right?

On the other side of the argument there are people that say that skipping breakfast isn’t as a big a deal. There is some support for Intermittent Fasting (IF) where one eats only once a day. When it comes down to it, breakfast can be a major contributor to our daily nutrient intake requirements and, while skipping it may not lead specifically to obesity, if you eat the right breakfast you will be healthier for it. One of the first things you should look for when choosing a cereal is fibre. Fibre has the obvious digestive benefits but researchers have found that a diet high in cereal fibre reduces the risk of death from a number of chronic diseases including heart disease and diabetes. The recommended daily intake of fibre is 30g for an adult and dieticians suggest that you should be choosing a cereal that provides at least 7g per 100g. Don't tell them it's healthy. Sultana Bran makes a healthy favourite a little sweeter, so you don't have to fight with your kids about the benefits of a healthy breakfast. menuItems":[{"label":"Are you getting enough fibre in your cereal?","anchorName":"#are-you-getting-enough-fibre-in-your-cereal"},{"label":"Do I need to eat whole grains?","anchorName":"#do-i-need-to-eat-whole-grains"},{"label":"How much is too much sugar?","anchorName":"#how-much-is-too-much-sugar"},{"label":"Which are the best and worst cereals?","anchorName":"#which-are-the-best-and-worst-cereals"},{"label":"Why is breakfast so important?","anchorName":"#why-is-breakfast-so-important"},{"label":"How can I make sure my kids are starting the day right?","anchorName":"#how-can-i-make-sure-my-kids-are-starting-the-day-right"},{"label":"Cereal through the ages","anchorName":"#cereal-through-the-ages"}]}

Breakfast cereals ranked best to worst - BHF

Much of the recent focus on unhealthy cereals has been on their sugar content. However, the latest Australian Health Survey shows breakfast cereals contribute only 3% of the sugar in adult Australian diets. When choosing your cereal you should be keeping an eye on the added sugars. The levels of sugar should be less than 15g per 100g or less than 25g per 100g of total sugar if the cereal contains dried fruit. The natural wheat bran fibre found in Kellogg’s All-Bran is proven to help with regularity and has 44% of your daily fibre intake in one bowl. Tip: Add fruit or low fat yoghurt to sweeten the deal. The team in Australia has to demonstrate that they can renovate an iconic brand like this with health in mind in a way that won’t affect sales. Hopefully then they’ll get the go-ahead from global Kellogg to continue their good work. Really it’s an experiment in action but one that needs to be done in small steps! Plus they plan to go further with the nutrition renovation – good to hear!Cereal is a popular crunchy, yet soggy, breakfast choice for many Australians. The phrase 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' seems to be ingrained (pun intended) into everyone. So, if breakfast is so important, then the cereal we choose is equally important – especially when it comes to our health.
