Yummy Grape-Nuts. And I’m definitely under 50.

Airman loves them too. I can’t keep a box in the house for more than a few days because we both eat them in largish quantities.

Fortunately, due to their, ah, regulating quality, weight gain is hardly an issue. 😃

I’m 40 this year and I eat them every morning.  
For the record, here’s the nutritional info:

1 serving w/ skim milk: 250 kcal, 1 g of fat

So contrary to some previous post they are neither high in calories nor fat.

Oh, man, I have loved grape nuts since teenagerhood, but I don’t eat them because they cause me to be stricken with gas so foul as to clear out a morgue.

If I know I’m not going to be around other people for several days or weeks, I definitely indulge.

Hello, my name is Baker, and I eat Grape-Nuts plain. No milk, no fruit, sugar, anything. Crunch, crunch, grind, what’s that you are saying?

Hm. I seem to have much in common with Dopers whose usernames start with Q. Like **Qadgop** (and notice I didn’t spell that “Quadgop the Mercutian”, like I usually do) I love Grape-Nuts on ice cream. Like **Qwisp** I can’t eat anything but coffee in the morning, but I will eat 'em as snacks, and like **Qixotica** , I like 'em sweet and semi-soggy.

**booklover** is q-less, so that blows my theory, but I also like my Grape-nuts hot in the winter. As a snack.

I’m 38.
