I'm trying to get my husband to eat a little better, but still like what he's eating. He's thin, but he's stopped eating meat (I've been veg 5 years, and just stopped eating fish). I feed him a lot of legumes/veggies and try to find ways to fit tofu in, but he ends up eating a lot of dairy and refined starch (I can't get him to eat whole grains for the life of me).
I'd like to get more fiber in his diet, I've got him eating cheerios once in a while, but I'd prefer to buy organic more healthy stuff.
Any suggestions based on whole grain stuff your dh/fh likes?

FH likes Puffins...its sold in the health food section. He also likes Raisin Bran Crunch...theres a lot of sugar (mostly from the raisins) but a good amount of fiber and protien too.

I eat, and try to get my FI to eat, High Low. It is high in protein (soy), maybe 1 gram of sugar, and has fiber too.
don't eat it for taste.

My DH eats my Smart Start all the time. So, like Kim921 I'd suggest that!

They say that the protein should always be above 5 grams per serving and the sugar should be lower than that.
Who grain/wheat chex is 5 protein and 5 sugar....not bad...and tastes pretty good. Complete is good but i think its boring so i always add something to it.

she said he is skinny and not looking to loose weight, so smart start has other nuts and what not to provide other vitamines.

Fiber One is actually very high in fiber and a little sweeter than most of the other bran cereals. I mix it with fruit and yogurt in the morning for breakfast, and I like it better than most of the other high fiber cereals. I believe it's naturally sweetened as well, so no refined sugars (I think).
I am big on getting lots of fiber in my cereals...I eat Fiber One ( the highest one I have found...13 g) and To Good Friends From Kashi (yes thats the whole name) it has 8 g and is quite tasty...
smart start is so yummy...but yes a lot of sugar...
but I think Fiber One his sweetened with aspertame...not 100% though
ETA: Fiber is really important to prevent colon cancer...
