So what amount is appalling? I checked the one I had for breakfast today (Quaker maple and brown sugar) and it was 9 grams of sugar... perhaps that's appalling to you, to me it's OK but I think you have different requirements.
One of my other favorite breakfasts is to fry up 2 egg whites in a little teeny pan and stick it on an english muffin with perhaps a little bit of cheese. That tides me over really well, and the muffin has about 4 grams of sugar.
Good luck with the snow.
