cereal
Flummoxed by cereal options? To make a healthy choice, keep these tips in mind.
1. "WHOLE" should describe the grain listed as the first ingredient.
2. Look for 5 grams or more FIBER per serving.
3. Keep to around 200 calories per serving or LESS.
4. Don't go above 360 mg per serving of sodium.
5. Look for less than 12 grams of SUGAR per serving but keep in mind that raisins and other dried fruits in cereals will NATURALLY boost the sugar content.
Choose wisely . . . live well
