Sure. Try corn flakes or anything with oats that doesn't have a shitton of sugar added. Certainly many of them have nearly 0 nutritional value but others are some of the healthiest stuff you can eat.

Euuuuh I don't know in the US but in Europe "corn flakes" have so much sugar they are everything except healthy

Notice the lack of capital letters. "corn flakes" in the general sense don't have any added sugar. They're just corn flakes. If you're looking at Frosted Corn Flakes that's a different story.

Also milk is very calorie dense so you have to watch out for that.

My guy: what did I just say?

I mean Kellogg’s sells A LOT of cereal, and some of them are very healthy and very cheap so it’s not a terrible suggestion.

What Kellogg's cereals are both "very healthy" and "very cheap"?

Well I meant cereal in general but looking at the actual ingredients very briefly both Corn Flakes and Special K only have 4g of sugar per 1 1/4 cup servings.
