Sorry for the delay in answering. I've been on the road.

Most 100% whole grain cereals that do not have added fat or sugars are usually low enough in fat. Oatmeal, which everyone seems to recommend, is 15% calories from fat.

While oat bran is close to 20%, it isn't much more than whole oats (oat meal), so eating that in moderation shouldn't be a problem. If you use soy milk with it, be sure it's the fat-free or very low fat variety.

Another way to keep the fat percentage down when eating cereals is to use fruit juice instead of milk. Most people cringe when I tell them I put orange juice or other fruit juice on my corn or bran flakes, but when they try it, they agree it's delicious.
