Which can also be full of sugar if you prefer the ones with dried fruit (as I do - and nuts).
But even so it is still better to have fruit sugar than white cane or beet sugar.

Well, I do a thing that I call "second breakfast" after my bowl of cereal that consists of a banana, a cup of yoplait yogurt, and a protein bar. And I also have a cup and a half of oats daily in a protein shake I make daily. I wonder if since I already get all those ingredients throughout the day if making Muesli would be overloading on any ingredients?
Yes but there's a world of difference between the the way your body responds to the sugar in fruit and refined sugar.
The fiber in fruit causes the sugar to be processed and released into your bloodstream gradually.
On the other hand, refined sugar is absorbed by your body almost immediately, more like an injection than an ingestion. It hits your liver all at once which causes your blood sugar to spike, signalling your pancreas to bombard your body with insulin. Part of insulins job is to signal your liver to turn energy into fat.
Edit: chronically, all of that can lead to obesity, insulin resistance (diabetes), and screw up your metabolism in any number of ways.

I don't think you have to worry about overdoing it on ingredients as long as the ingredients are healthy.
I've read of the concept of second breakfast in certain cultures(mostly partaken of by farmers and those doing heavy labor).
Up till now the only place that I'd ever heard of second breakfast was here:
It's like we share one brian....er...brina... gray cells.

Ask the French. I was there over Easter. The day started with breakfast which went seamlessly over into second breakfast and then, after the apéritif, into lunch (which lasted 3 hours). Then we went for a walk and had coffee and cake at a café. We returned in time for Dinner (which lasted another 3 hours). We rounded the day off with a few glasses of wine and some snacks. For those who were still hungry there was a midnight soup.
For those interested, there's been a lot of research done in this area.

Foods high in added fats and refined carbs are like cigarettes – addictive and unhealthy
Ultra-processed foods meet the same criteria for addictiveness that tobacco products do – and they’ve even been marketed in similar ways.

Yup. Tony the Tiger and Joe Camel probably belong to the same country clubs.For those interested, there's been a lot of research done in this area.

I shun it cos I don't like it.

Definitely. It's part of why I love farmer's market season. When I have really fresh produce I go "what the heck is this other crap I've been eating... BLECH!"
But... every so often I just kinda want a box of mac and cheese...

Yep. When I want to lose weight it's the naughty stuff I cut out. At first it's difficult to refrain but after a few days such items become actually unappealing. Yes, even cake!
My downfall is ramen...
Though sometimes the Farmer's Market gets me, too. There's a stand there with the biggest, fluffiest bagels for only 1 dollar...
I refuse to label my cakes as junk. They're too labor intensive... food for the soul. And because they're so much work, I don't make them often.
Store cake is typically junk, though. (Even if its good.)
