I sometimes hear from people who want to know if they will still be able to eat their favorite food on the Nutrisystem. Sometimes they ask about comfort foods like pizza or hamburgers. Other times, they ask about their favorite staple that they come back to again and again, like cereal.
You may hear someone say, “I’m a cereal fanatic. I love them. It’s not uncommon for me to have them a lot after breakfast. Sometimes I even eat them for dinner or as a snack. Is cereal allowed on Nutrisystem? And if so, what kind?”
The answer is yes, you have all kinds of cereal options (including hot and cold) on Nutrisystem. I’ll go over some of the details below.
cold cereals: I think most people who ask about cereals on Nutrisystem are referring to cold cereals and not oats. I’ll outline the oats a bit later. But for now, let’s talk about your cold cereal options.
The sweetened O’s: This cereal looks a lot like the OR icing cereal you find at the grocery store. There is a touch of sweetness in it. One serving is just 110 calories and is rated more than four out of five stars by dieters.
The granola cereal: I love granola, but it’s often not included in any diet plan because regular granola can be high in fat. This version is not. It only has 2.5 grams of fat and includes both granola and almonds. It is rated a perfect five by over 400 users. It is extremely popular. I have to agree with the good reviews. This is my favorite cold cereal on the menu.
Nutri Flakes Cereals: I would liken this to flaked bran cereal. It has a bran flavor, which is why I prefer it with fruits like blueberries or strawberries. But a lot of people like this, which is why it has a four-star rating.
Oatmeal or Hot Cereal Options: There are basically two flavors to choose from here. Apple Cinnamon (which has four stars) and Maple Brown Sugar (which has four and a half stars). I find both to be pretty good, but of the two, I prefer apple and cinnamon because it contains bits of apple and I like fruit in my oatmeal.
I hope this article has shown you that you don’t have to give up grains while on this diet. You are absolutely allowed to have it and it also has a decent number of options.
