Cereal

Sugary morning cereals are considered to be high in carbs. Even healthy cereals, meanwhile, might contain a lot of carbs.

For instance, there are 27 grams of carbs in 1 cup (234 grams) of cooked oatmeal.

Even less processed than other types of oatmeal, steel-cut oats are high in carbs, containing 28 grams per 1/4 cup (40 grams) dry serving. In addition, while 1 cup (111 grams) of grape nuts contains the same amount of calories as granola, it contains a whopping 93 grams of carbs. Even without adding milk, a bowl of cereal can quickly push you over your daily carb limit. Choose cereals that ideally don't include artificial sweeteners or other additives. To help you feel fuller for longer, it's a good idea to choose a product that is high in protein and fiber.
