is a lot more filling than other cereal(especially special k,which I've experienced gives me the munchies during the morning :|).

Porridge is apparently the best for filling you up but I don't like the taste,may buy some anyway and try it out though =]

Other opinions?

I find weetabix about on par with alpen for filling me up for the morning, either way I'm getting ravenous just in time for lunch.

Rolled Oats + Milk + A bit of Peanut butter and a Banana = filling to the maximum.

yeah, nice but porridge more filling. good (as is all-bran) for when i dont have the time ot make porridge or dont want hot cereal (summer)

to make porridge nicer try it with sweetener, and chopped fruit, or some no-added-sugar jam... apple/raisins& cinnamon is also a good combo

I've yet to find any breakfast cereal that's filling. Even having three weetabix in the morning doesn't work, I'll still be hungry come 10 o'clock.

And, I can only ever eat weetabix when they're still crunchy, I can't leave them in the milk for any longer than 30 seconds. I literally start heaving if I have to eat them when they're all mushy.

Lol I used to slay through weetabix when I was younger, I even made something called hotty-coldy (I was VERY young btw :P) pour a small amount of hot water over the weetabix and the add rly cold milk.
Yum.
I normally eat porrdige and muesli now for breakfast lol

Oatibix ftw! :biggrin:

Wheat is just a cheap bulking agent. Evil wheat! Ok ok, so maybe I'm biased cos I can't eat it... but still... :redface:

I like Oatibix with hot Lacto-Free and Splenda [yumyum]. But cereals in general have never filled me for long, though Oatibix is prolly the longest [after porridge, but you said you wanted alternatives to that :smile:

]. I always have a banana in the morning with whatever else I eat cos then it sustains me till lunch and is good for you.

I'll generally have a banana followed by Oatibix [as mentioned] or a free-from hot cross bun, or I'll have oats, banana and sultanas with some Lacto-Free all together if I have the time.

With.

Its not a whole lot of calories, some cereals are 300+ and dont fill you..

I just finished a bowl with cold milk and I added a bit of chocolate nesquik(spelling?) powder for taste. Love it every morning.

Theres a lot more that you can do with porridge. There are websites dedicated to oatmeal breakfast recipies (because bodybuilders love the stuff, high fibre, good carbs, filling, tastes good).
