Do a lot of people actually add fruit to their cereal? I only started eating more fruit once I'd replaced cereal.

    There are plenty of great cereals. Fiber one is basically 75% of your daily fiber in 200 calories, You can find plenty of examples. I feel like nobody on the Internet understands the availability of trash does not exclude quality from being in a product space.

    Getting 75% of my daily fiber at breakfast and then another 75% of my daily fiber just from eating normally the rest of the day sounds like a lot. I can only see this being a good thing in like a food desert or medical situation where vegetables aren't an option.

    Eat less. What an absolutely worthless statement. Get your macros whatever way you want.

    Assuming you mean eat less of the cereal and not less vegetables, that is what I'm suggesting would be preferable to me, yes.

    The listed serving size is 2/3 of a cup for 65% of your daily fiber, but I think in reality most people are pouring much larger cereal bowls. I can understand why many people who try to eat healthy for the first time end up feeling sick if it's this easy to hit 40 grams of fiber just in the first meal of the day.

    I'm not saying no one should ever eat it, just that it seems impractical to me as a meal and more useful as a supplement.

    I never do. I'll add it to oatmeal, but not cereal.

    Pro-tip: oatmeal is cereal.

    In my experience most people have forgotten about hot cereals. My mom used to make Cream of Wheat all the time when I was growing up.
