What’s wrong with having Honey Nut Cheerios or any other cereal for breakfast while on a diet?

I’m on a Diet and for breakfast every morning I have cereal. This morning I had Honey Nut Cheerios. People are saying I should feel guilty about that, and that cereal consists of "empty calories". Is this true? Is eating cereal really that bad for you?

all i meant was that you basically ate all carbs for the day. this wont satisfy you and you will end up feeling hungry sooner compared to if you ate a balanced meal/diet. the right proteins help keep you full and provide nutrition for your body while cereals like honey nut cheerios wont keep you as satisfied. some cereals and bars are loaded with high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils (aka trans fat) and preservatives. the healthier option would be eggs/egg whites with whole wheat toast, toast with natural peanut butter, milk, cottage cheese with fruit. a balance of carbs and proteins.

    any flavor of cheerios is good for you. just don’t eat too much at once and put low fat milk on it. I like to mix mine with low fat yogurt.

    depends on what you eat. lucky charms and stuff like that is sugar in a box, but i think that honey nut cheerios are okay. personally, i eat multi grain cheerios. also try oatmeal :)

    Not all cereal is bad for you. I love cheerios. Having one serving along with some fruit on the side you’re fine. You need carbohydrates. That is the only thing your brain runs on. You just need the right kind. And you burn it off through the whole day and it gives you great energy. Don’t feel guilty unless you’re having more than what they suggest. Stick to cheerios, special K, and oatmeal. Don’t eat sugary cereals and don’t eat Kellogg’s Smart Start. The more they talk up a product the worse is probably is for you. But you’re fine.
