    I don't know the answer (hope someone does), but I would highly recommend getting a food scale. They're not very expensive, and you will get far more accurate measurements with one. I wouldn't be without mine!

    I can balance 10 weetabix on a tablespoon if that helps.

    It totally depends on the cereal - some are more dense than others so volume measurements aren't much use. You really need to get some scales. Until you get scales, measure out how many tablespoons, cups or whatever you want to use, are in the box and do the sums based on the weight on the packet. Of course this will only work if you have an entire packet to start with!

    Just did the math everyone ! The whole box of cereal fits into 12.5 200g glasses of water.According to the packet info one serving is 30g There are 12.5 servings in the whole packet....
    So a full glass of water filled with cereal is 30g ;) (=114kcal)
    If anyone else has the same problem just follow the same technique :O
    P.S* I Hate Mathhhhh :D
