Ok – so we’ve damned a ton of the nations favourite breakfast cereals – we can’t not give you an alternative, can we?

You just cannot go wrong with porridge oats – own brand, Quaker, we checked a range – and they’ve all got less than 1.5g of sugar per 100g. It definitely doesn’t need to be boring either  – add a squirt of honey, natural sugars from some chopped fruit, or if you want to keep the sugar out completely, opt for gorgeous cinnamon.

If porridge simply isn’t your thing, how about these:

• Rude Health whose Multigrain Flakes contain 3g of sugar per 100g,
•  Cheerios – with just 1g of sugar per 28g, that’s around 3.5g in per 100g,
• Weetabix – just 4.4g of sugar per 100g, plus plenty of Fibre, Iron, and even 12g of protein

Most importantly? Don’t trust the word ‘healthy’ without checking the nutritional information, and remember that ‘low calorie’ might still translate to high in sugar, which will only leave you running for the vending machine at 9.30am…
