I eat cereal for breakfast.  I often buy different types of cereals, but I normally only have one type of cereal each morning.

I have cereal for breakfast - even if you have a lot of them! As a breakfast food it �s uncountable. We only count the �cereals � in the fields!

As for the sentence order it would be normal to say both. However, if you front �For breakfast � you are emphasising the statement more.

I have cereal for breakfast.    You don �t pluralize cereal.

GIOVANNI and lshorton99  are right.

To add to what Ishorton99 said, we also count cereals on the shelf in the market.
