or go all out and switch to oatmeal (real oatmeal, not instant) with some walnuts and berries. much better for you than any cereal. Slower digesting grains, lots of antioxidents in the berries (blue berries or raspberries are good) and some healthy fats that will keep you full in the walnuts. Special K is crap. Really all cereals are crap. You're essentially eating a bowl of crackers marketed as being part of a nutritious breakfast.
if your cholesterol and bp numbers are good, just switch to eggs. An omlete with veggies and no cheese will do more for your weight loss than any grains will. And don't buy into the "you can only have two egg yokes a week or you'll get fat and die" crap - eat the whole egg. I eat about 2 dozen eggs a week and my cholesterol is lower than the recommended healthy range by a good amount and my bp is right where it should be. Fat is not bad for you.
