Do cereals cause weight gain? Whether it is good to eat cereals on diet?

Cereals have one of the hight count of calories within grain products. If you are on diet and you are looking for low-calorific grain products, cereals seems to be a bad choice. It is easy to find something better among other grain products.

Really hard to find higher calories count in grain products. Similar energy amount have only such products as almond flour, steel cut oats or cornstarch.

You should consider that not only calories are important when you are on a diet. If cereals contain nutrition you need than maybe you should add it to your daily menu anyway?
