So I pour 1/2 cup of milk in my cereal every morning but there is a lot left over in the bowl when I am done with the cereal. Should I log less milk in my food log?

    try using 1/3 of a cup and see if that is enough for you rather then having any wasted leftover? :smile:

    Drink the milk. Some of the vitamins labeled are powdered on the cereal and come off in the milk. Drink the milk and you will get your full dose.

    I always log 1/2 cup even though I know sometimes it's less, and there is often some in the bowl. If you're really nit-picky about your calories, and don't want to waste any, then you could measure what's left and deduct it.

    I personally would just drink the milk, unless you don't like to?

    I only watch it on on demand mainly rarely will I see it live. I don't even know the schedule to be honest.

    I don't like milk at all so I don't ever eat cereal (except for raisin bran sometimes...I eat it dry).

    Any suggestions as to what I could put in my cereal? Something that doesn't taste so milky?

    I never got why someone would leave the excess milk after they eat cereal. Both my kids do that. I don't know where they got that habit from. That just seems weird to me. I always drink my excess milk. :huh:
