We were never allowed the sweetened cereals. Muffets or shredded wheat, oatmeal or creme of wheat (ick). To make the muffets taste better, my Mother always poured boiling water over them, drained it off then added sugar. The boiling water would soften the shredded wheat and actually made them quite palatable. For a treat we got brown sugar and cinnamon! The rest of the time it was eggs, boiled not fried with toast fingers.
