Kellogg's corn flakes

I just was adding KCF to my log, and according to the listing I saw there are 98 calories in 25 grams. That seems like a lot, so I went to the Kellogg's website and found that 25g is actually 25 cals. Moral of the story: if it seems strange, check it out.

KFC is NOT Kellog's Corn Flakes.

Make sure you did not pull up KFC instead of KCF. Mostly because I've never heard the cereal abbreviated like that but Kentucky Fried Chicken yes, all the time.

Which product were you looking at on the Kellogg's website?
The nutrition facts panel that you can pull up from here--> http://www.kelloggs.com/en_US/kelloggs-corn-flakes-cereal.html#prevpoint has Kellogg's Corn Flakes cereal as 100 calories for 28g, not too far off the entry you found on MFP. I grant you, that amount of cereal is not very filling for the calories, but that's why I shake my fist at cereal and don't eat as much of it these days. :laugh:

Wrong.

It's basically a dry carbohydrate so will be somewhere close to 4 cals per gram.
