Losing weight - cereal serving size

Most healthy cereals like bran flakes and shreddies will put 'only x calories per bowl' on the front of the box. I recently weighed out the recommended serving size and was surprised to find that the portion was tiny and barely covered the bottom of the bowl. I'm not surprised the average person complains that they are putting on weight when they are probably eating around 5 times the recommended amount of cereal for breakfast each morning. Can you recommend any cereals that do fill you up without having to eat a larger portion, or would porridge be better?

i gave up on cereal. if i eat the same one over and over i get bored. soo now on study leave im just eating loooads of fruit and not eating til im hungry.

I've recently become addicted to Oatso porridge, as I struggle with getting portion sizes right. I make it up with water (I don't like it too creamy), and one sachet of the Golden Syrup or Apple and Blueberry flavour gives a good sized bowl of porridge for only 132kcal.

roughly how much is 30g of cereal if you were to measure it in cup sizes?

Two boiled eggs and a slice of toast=most filling breakfast ever and probably for considerably fewer calories and much better for you than a bowl of cereal!
