 I don't know how much fiber is in oat bran, but there's about 8 g 
fiber in a bowl of oatmeal.  That banana helps bring it up to 11 or 12 
g, walnuts add two more grams or so.  That is a total of 14+g, but you 
have to eat 600+ calories to get it!
Since I am not being a big breakfast eater, and I am trying to lose 
weight, I could never eat that much.  It sounds like a good, healthy 
breakfast though, like the kind most folks eat.   I was trying to keep 
the calories down.
1/2 cup fiber one has 60 calories and 14g fiber, plus milk and fruit if 
you want that.  My breakfast was 120 calories.

I should probably add oat bran to things the way I intend to add Fiber 
One.  Do you buy Kellogg's or something else?

It's nice, semi-autumn-like, today...I'll be splitting and stacking wood...
