    Chocolate cheerios, never heard of it until now.
    Hate to burst bubbles, but they taste good because of sugar content.

    They have 9 grams of sugar per 3/4 cup serving.

    Multigrain cheerios have 6 grams of sugar per 1 cup serving
    which would be 4.5 grams of sugar per 3/4 cup serving.

    Normal cheerios have 1 gram of sugar per 1 cup serving.
    Which would be .75 grams of sugar per 3/4 cup serving.

    So Chocolate cheerios have:
    - TWICE the amount of sugar than multigrain cheerios
    - TWELVE times more sugar than regular Cheerios.

    To Compare, Chocolate cheerios have the same sugar content as Froot Loops.
    12grams of sugar per 1 cup.

    It's the choices we make.

    Yes, it is all about the choices we make, but for a snack I will take all the sugar because they are YUMMY !!! Besides, these are WAY better tasting than fruit loops; they're chocolate for petes sake !

    Yes, PB2 is powdered peanut butter. You can find it at some stores along with www.bellplantation.com. All you do is mix the powder with a little bit of water and waaa laaa, peanut butter. After eating the PB2 I tried Jiffy not too long ago and could not stand the taste of Jiffy.

    2 tablespoons has 52 calories compared to Jiffy at 190

    I take it you put this in there for me. ******* 1 Gram less sugar? Wow. *******

    Chocolate cheerios have 9 grams sugar for 3/4 cup serving (Serving size is 27grams)
    Total Raisin Bran have 19 Grams sugar for serving (Serving is 55 grams)

    Total Raisin Bran at least has natural sugar with the Raisin's.... :tongue:

    I won't respond back anymore, the only reason I wrote in this Topic, is alot of people on MFP, like to see good healthy foods when we are ALL trying to lose weight.

    I was informing people, about how much sugar is in that cereal and there's healthier cereals.

    I have found the Chocolate Cheerios in Walmart and Kroger, also seen a commercial for Giant Eagle.
