Oatmeal, the old fashioned kind, with a banana.

No wonder you've become so grouchy.

It's healthy. I don't eat "fatty" foods very often. My cholesterol
numbers are right where I want them to be, and without medications.

No disagreement that it's good for you. I tried over and over last
winter with the various types but just couldn't handle it. I do a cup
of dry puffed wheat and some yogurt (which took some time, but I now
enjoy).

I don't know that it is true, but the claim for oatmeal is that it absorbs
"cholesterol" or fat, anyway, and keeps some of it from getting into your
bloodstream. I like puffed wheat, too, but I don't believe it works as
oatmeal does. Have you tried any of the low-fat yogurt drinks? Not bad.

The studies on oatmeal and cholesterol show that raw oatmeal does a much
better job of cleaning you. So mix some raw into the yogurt and eat it that
way.
