The Best for Breakfast
1. Barbara's Bakery Puffins OriginalThis cereal is crunchy, sweet, and satisfying. It's delicious enough to munch straight from the box -- a perfect 3 p.m. snack.
Per 3/4 cup: 90 calories, 2g protein, 23g carbohydrate, 1g fat (0g saturated), 5g fiber.
2. Hero Sugar-Free Strawberry PreservesGreat fruity flavor without being overly sweet like other sugar-free preserves we tasted. An easy way to cut calories.
Per 1 tablespoon: 10 calories, 0g protein, 1g carbohydrate, 0g fat (0g saturated), 0g fiber.
3. Yoplait Light Blueberry PatchSo thick and creamy it's hard to believe it has no fat. Eat it plain or top with low-fat granola for a more filling breakfast.
Per 6 ounces: 100 calories, 5g protein, 19g carbohydrate, 0g fat (0g saturated), 0g fiber.
4. Breakstone's 2% Milkfat Low-Fat Cottage CheeseRich and creamy, not dry like some other brands. Delicious plain or with fresh fruit.
Per 1/2 cup: 90 calories, 11g protein, 6g carbohydrate, 2.5g fat (1.5g saturated), 0g fiber.
5. Egg Beaters SouthwesternAdd some kick to your eggs with this tasty combination of peppers, onions, chilies, and spices. (Don't worry, it's not too spicy!)
Per 1/4 cup: 30 calories, 6g protein, 1g carbohydrate, 0g fat (0g saturated), 0g fiber.
6. Kashi GoLean Crunchy! Chocolate Peanut BarLike having dessert for breakfast. And it's loaded with good-for-you protein and fiber, so you'll stay full until lunchtime.
Per bar: 180 calories, 9g protein, 30g carbohydrate, 5g fat (2g saturated), 6g fiber.
7. VitaMuffins Blue-BranJust the right serving size (no giant muffin here!). Pair it with a piece of fruit, a cup of yogurt, or a small smoothie for a healthy breakfast.
Per muffin: 100 calories, 4g protein, 20g carbohydrate, 0g fat (0g saturated), 5g fiber.

8/18/2011 01:13:57 PM Report AbuseDitto... I would have preferred a list of non-processed meal components... types of foods, not brand-name products. Whole grain bread vs. croissant, bagel or donut at breakfast, etc.
