It has 100% of 12 Vitamins and minerals in each serving...I highly recomend this cereal. Most cereals have lots of carbohydrates, but some are better then others. For instance, 1 and 1/4 of a cup of shredded wheat and bran cereal has 48 grams of carbohydrates as opposed to Apple jacks 1 cup has 28 grams of carbs. Shredded Wheat and Bran Cereal is much healthier though because it only has 1 gram of sugar carbohydrates, and Apple jacks have 28 grams of sugar... Not all carbohydrates are equal. It's much better to get complex carbohydrates then it is to get sugar carbohydrates... and that's my 2 cents

I like Kashi Crunch, Smart Start with soy protein, Wheetaflakes, Special K....etc etc. I've tried Total Protein but it kinda has a bad aftertaste, but also I think in the morning (especially before lifting weights) in is necessary to eat carbs and the amount in these cereals is around 30-45 grams per serving so that's not bad at all! I also add half a banana to give it a little kick. And Dx14Ag is right, make sure you're getting complex carbs and not sugary stuff.

Actually, I don't eat as much cereal as I used to.... likely because I can't find anything affordable that doesn't have gallons of sugar and bad things I can't pronounce in it... I usually stick with oatmeal, throw in some blueberrys and maybe a bit of brown sugar... -------------- t I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. - Aristotle You have the power to change a life right in your own hands. - Paul Brandt

It has not taste whats so ever. In the morning you need carbs, your body is low on engery , cause you just sleep for 8 hours! And thats the longest time you body goes without food in a 24 hour day. So 40-50 carbs in the morning won't hurt you. -------------- if you want sympathy......from me...in a dictionary look between symphony and syphillis.......there you\'ll find it!
