Ditch: Dorset Cereals berries & cherries, 267 calories per serving

Eat up: Porridge, 110 calories per serving or Weetabix , 117 calories per serving (two biscuits)

Many of the big cereal companies have been in the news recently after Which? Magazine reported on the hidden fats, salt and sugar hidden in their cereals. Dorset Cereals berries & cherries cereal is no different with the bulk of this muesli being sugar-laden dried fruit with a few flakes thrown in for good measure. Swap this for some porridge which has a lower GI so will prevent you from reaching for the biscuit tin later or tuck in to some Weetabix with a chopped banana and skimmed milk.
