Each cereal has its own ups and downs and there isn’t a perfect one that will fit all of your needs.  And although plain old bran flakes comes close to being perfect (and are still my absolute favorite) it is good to mix it up and choose different cereals to consume.

Just as every other food you may add to your diet, eat cereal in moderation. You don’t want to eat cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner every single day or you will be missing out on other important nutrients. Diversify your cereal desires, choose something new every so often, and you will happily see results.

Fiber Content of the Top 44 Best Cereals

All of the measurements listed in this table are 1 cup because let’s be honest, no one eats a half cup of cereal! All of you cereal lovers out there will surely resonate with this fact.

High Fiber Cereals Content Chart

The HFC (healthiest fiber cereal) metric used in the chart below was determined by wanting to limit the number of factors to consider when trying to decide which cereal is the best for you. Each cereal was given a base of 100 and then the total fiber was added to the total protein. Finally the sugar content was subtracted out to give you a final HFC number.

The HFC metric is not truly scientific, nor do I claim it to be. However, it is a great way to take a quick look at cereals to determine whether or not you should take it home, or just leave it on the shelf to collect dust.

All of the top 44 best high fiber cereals are included in this interactive graph.

High numbers are good and low numbers are bad in this case. The further right you go the better the cereal is for you.

According to the HFC metric the top five cereals to choose from are:

1. Fiber One (General Mills)
2. All-Bran Buds (Kellogg’s)
3. Bob’s Red Mill Wheat Rolled (Flakes)
4. All-Bran (Kellogg’s)
5. Grape-Nuts (Post)

Pick one from this list, add it to your diet, and prepare to be amazed at what cereal can do for you!
