However, "cereals that are made of refined grains – grains that have had parts of the grain kernel removed – are lower in fiber and nutrients," according to registered dietitian Kate Zeratsky.
Added sugars are also a concern. For adults, the FDA advises consuming no more than 50 grams of added sugars per day as part of a 2,000-calorie diet.
The agency recommends that
children don't exceed 25 grams.
But some cereals contain large amounts of added sugars, such as Post's Golden Crisp, which has
21 grams of added sugars in just one cup.
Zeratsky suggests sticking with cereal brands that have added sugars "in the single digits" that also contain whole grains.
