I ate some of that Kashi Strawberry Fields once and after I got over the sugar shock, I wanted to eat again an hour later. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Yeah -- the thing is, if I tell myself I'm eating a bowl of cereal and then I'm not eating again until lunch in four hours, I won't, even if I get hungry (or I will have some fruits or veggies to fill up -- not more cereal). I'm usually running around all the time these days anyway, so sometimes I don't even have a chance to eat when I need it . . . If you're the kind of person that will be looking to start eating again as soon as you get hungry, then another cereal might be a better choice.
Still, a smaller portion of a cereal you actually LIKE, paired with fruit or other lower-cal snacks, is always a better bet than forcing yourself to eat something you hate the taste of but eat just because it's healthy.
That said, there isn't really a radical difference in the sugar content between Go Lean and Strawberry Fields (6 g versus 9 g) -- they are both pretty much smack in the middle of the sugar range for breakfast cereals, much higher than, say, Cheerios but lower than the sugar-packed stuff like Frosted Flakes. The major difference is the fiber.
