HEALTH TIP

Keep your breakfast cereal healthy

Dry cereal can be a good option for breakfast at home or on the go — if you make healthy choices, that is. Three key features to consider are fiber, calories and sugar. Choose cereal that has at least 3 grams of fiber a serving, but aim for 5 or more. Opt for cereal with fewer than 160 calories a serving if you're dieting. And because many cereals, even those for adults, can be high in added sugar, avoid those that list sugar among the first few ingredients.
