I might be interpreting this wrongly but are you saying people have >100g of cereal for breakfast?
Because the box is 350g and it looks like it'll last me around 10 bowls

10 bowls?! I can hardly get 4 bowls from a 375g standard small box! Out of curiosity I will weigh my cereal at my next bowl (which may be in the next hour!) and see what my average size bowl is but a 350/375g box could never last me 10 bowls!

375g small box?? What cereal are we talking here?
I've definitely read on one of the Kellogg's boxes before that they give the GDAs based on a 30g serving, so I can't be far off what the company expects me to have..
Just to be completely sure... you aren't a giant are you?

Lol well I'm a 5'9 girl but not a giant apart from that! You are right in that the company's do put 30g on the box but that's hardly anything!
I'm thinking of, say a box of cinnamon graham's. That's like the smallest box you can get for regular kids cereal, I actually feel a bit hungry now so let me go weigh my cereal

I really hope these pics work I've never attached an image on TSR before!
Ok so if they work this is an 800g box of coco pops next to a 500g box of sultana bran. I know we were talking about 350/375g but I had no smaller boxes! But the sultana bran is just a heavier cereal and the box of this size generally holds a 375g bag of kids cereal
Here is a 30g as you can see on my scales, do you seriously only eat this amount at breakfast?! You must be a stick if you do!
And this is my kinda bowl
(I'm seriously gonna be SO embarrassed if I'm the only big fat piggy who eats this much cereal!!)

Most people I know have a lot more than the recommended portions when it comes to Kelloggs products. You might be different, but it still doesn't make it healthy
Weetabix, Shredded Wheat, Muesli, Porridge (Especially porridge) fills you up on far less of the stuff and Im guessing because of their low GI
EDIT: For a Daily Mail story, it's surprisingly accurate:

(I'm seriously gonna be SO embarrassed if I'm the only big fat piggy who eats this much cereal!!)I eat about the same when it comes to Kelloggs products, though I reckon I'd still stay away from any "healthy" products Kelloggs comes out with. Their line seems to be reduce the fat, increase the sugar heftily. In 83g of the cereal, you're taking in 285.52 calories (which I suppose isn't *too* bad) 24.9g of sugar and 55.61g of carbs
If you like the cereal, then go for it, but they're not the healthy stuff. I only say this because it says "Bran Flakes Sultana Bran" essentially conning consumers in thinking it's healthy
Oh and here's mine. Why oh why wasn't I fed this as a kid?

Has anyone tried this? I don't normally eat cereal, but I'd have this if only to make me laugh and make early mornings more bearable. Unfortunately I think the UK boxes lack the gorilla

The existence of this cereal really rustled my jimmies.

I dont particularly like salt, so I leave it out of pretty much every thing I make. I have it plain, with milk
They used to sell these at Aldi, but now they've stopped producing them and I've not found any cereal yet that comes even close
Original post by zz_
ite I just weighed my cereal before breakfast and it was like 40g. dunno what kinda bowls the 80g reppers in this thread have but my bowl def wouldn't have taken 80g + milk without overflowing
Then your bowl isn't big enough!! But if that's all you eat, fair enough but I can imagine you'll be hungry like an hour or two at most after that, I'm so pleased I made at least one other person weigh their bowl!
