Warning: I love cereal

chrisjathompson

It's my favourite thing to eat. I use to have a bookcase that contained every type of cereal I could find, and I would eat about 3 heaping bowls as a meal, with some toast.

Now, I knew a full heaping bowl was more than a serving. But I never thought that a heaping bowl is more like 5 or 6 servings

Here's one of my favourite cereals. Notice the box shows a heaping bowl. Not a huge bowl, but there's a nice amount of cereal. Notice the little stain of cereal in my bowl? That's 1 serving.

Watch out for cereal, weigh it too because I found what they call a cup, isn't a cup either.



*For size reference, the box is a small "eco" sized box, and that's a teaspoon. It may look like a giant bowl and spoon, but it's not. Just cheap walmart starter dishes

I'm a cereal FREAK. I *have* to start my morning with cereal or the whole day just goes to hell. I also love the Nature's Path cereals. And Barbar's Bakery. High fiber/low carb/great flavor.

Nature's Path peanut butter is an awesome cereal too! Easily my second favourite.

I love cereal too. And this is why I weigh it EVERY single time. If I let my self start estimating then I can easily eat a double serve.

That bowl has 55g, 100g is nothing.

I think I was eating 1 - 2 lbs per meal. haha.

The first time I actually measured a bowl of cereal I realized I was doubling the serving size! It didn't help that I don't like a lot of milk in it - just enough to wet it!

i dont have issues eating more than one serving of cereal at a time - in fact, if i dont then im starving in an hour. thats why i tend to not eat it for breakfast unless its just a quick snack and im planning an actual breakfast for later. the only cereal i cant eat more than a serving of is grapenuts - my fav cereal but it is more filling and no matter how hard i try i just cant eat two servings lol

I love cereal but I found that Honey Bunches of Oats with almonds has so much iron that I hit my daily requirement every day! It also keeps me full until lunch. If I eat cherrios I am starving in an hour!

its crazy when you measure it how much you are really allowed to have.

To be fair. You're supposed to eat it as topping on yoghurt(or milk - bleh!) and on top of an already full bowl of yoghurt it would create the small mound. Your bowl looks to be just a bowl of cereal, nothing else?

I totally agree anyway. Weigh your food... AND cereal can be pretty calorie dense and useles as a filler... granola is even worse imo.

I don't even keep it in the house. If I let myself, I could easily eat a whole box of Life cereal. OH YUM!!!!

Cocoa pops are very dangerous for me, could easily eat two massive bowls full!

I love cereal too and usually have Special K cinnamon pecan.With almond milk.

The last few days I was craving banana granola which I know is high fat but had to have it so,I did!

Once it's gone,I won't be getting more.
