Big fan...easy and quick. My question, when I enter my calories from the box, does it include the milk that I use to make it? Should I be logging that separate? Please help, I want to be as accurate as possible! Thanks!

    Milk Is probably separate.... Like on dry cereal boxes....they usually show with and without.

    Pretty sure you need to log it separately. I use water in mine.

    my understanding is that is dry ..you will need to add the amount and kind of milk separate. :)

    I make mine with water too. Tastes just as good and I want those calories for something else.

    Milk is an addition...so logged separately.

    I use milk in mine, don't really like it "dry" as my parents would call it lol....I just cut the serving to 1/2 a cup of milk instead of a whole cup.

    :flowerforyou: I use water for mine. It tastes just as good and I'm saving calories~ Otherwise I would log milk seperate.
    weight control oatmeal is great if you haven't tried it! Its extra protein and fiber every morning. (banana bread is my favorite)

    I use almond milk. 30 calories a cup. Almost water! I like the taste compared to water. Makes it creamy.
