that is actually a fairly healthy snack, better than eating candy or chocolate or something like that.

bad things are Cholesterol, trans-fat, calories from fat, sodium, saturated fat, Compare the total calories to the calories from fat. If the fat calories are half of the total its way bad. Raisin Bran is pretty good for you, minus the carb content

Sodium
Carbs
Saturated Fats
Calories per serving ( I myself sometimes refill my bowl of cereal or eat a second serve betwen meals) if I’m really hungry

Raisin Bran is exceptionally healthy. It is good that you are eating it every day, even if you skip the milk. While this cereal provides many essential vitamins and minerals, make sure you are getting enough protein from other sources as well and drinking plenty of water.
When observing food labels, watch out for high sodium, high saturated fat, more than 30% of calories coming from fat, high cholesterol, and high trans fats.
Hope this helps!
