Cereal and cereal bars

Does anyone eat cereal and if so what kind? I tried Kashi Go Lean at about a month out and thought I was going to die from pain. Maybe it was too early out. Are cereal bars to high in fat, calories and sugar? I would like something that adds a bit of protein, not just calories. Any suggestions or should I just avoid them altogether? Thanks for your input.

If you're looking for something on the go and to add protein to your diet, you'd be better served by a protein shake or a protein bar low in carbs.

I only eat cereal if I only run out of protein shakes.  I have a box of Kellogs Protein Plus at home and eat only 1/2c dry - takes me about an hour to fini****

For "on the go" I buy Extend Bars.  They have 12g of protein and 1g net carbs.  I only manage to eat 1/2 a bar at a time.   I buy them at well.ca

 I like Kay's Natural's Protein Cereal. I bought it from the low carb grocer, it does have carbs, but if you subtract the fibre and sugar alcohols, the carbs aren't awful, plus each ounce packs 9 grams of protein, the highest I've seen. I usually have a shake for breakfast, but this is nice to change it up every once in a while.  

the only cereal i eat is fibre one. i sprinkle it on top of my cottage cheese. it's low cal, sugar free and has 14 grams of fibre per serving. i like it!

I do eat the Kashi bars (crunchy) 1 of the 2 as a quick snack. I am 4 months out.
