Cream of wheat?

is cream of wheat an ok thing to eat? I had some last night made with water, a little butter (i know but i love butter) no salt. had just over 1/2 cup. now this morning i am 4 pounds heavier! i havent had this for a long time. Just would like some input kelly *****ally really needed some comfort food last night

Kelly, I eat either Cream of Wheat or Malto Meal most mornings after my workout, and I make it with water and powdered milk. I don't see a problem with it, and I doubt that's why you're 4# heavier. Are you sure you're not just having some water weight gain? Don't know what else to say, but don't beat yourself up over a little Cream of Wheat. It's not worth it. Linn

Thanks Linn, It threw me off because that is the first time i ate it since before my surgery, your right, prolly is water weight. Darn scales, LOL kelly

I had my cream of wheat at night so I can sleep without being hungry. I add my strawberry protein and soy milk with butter.
