How many calories in a bowl of total cereal with milk?

Answer 1

There is a wide variation in number of calories in cereal with milk.

Calories are determined by the measurement (amount) of cereal, type of cereal, amount of milk, and type of milk. For example:

• Kellogg's Corn Flakes (1 cup) = 101 calories
• Rice Krispies (1 cup) = 103 calories
• Cheerios (1 cup) = 110 calories
• Kellogg's Froot Loops (1 cup) = 110 calories
• Kellogg's Special K (1 cup) = 117 calories
• Lucky Charms (1 cup) = 142 calories
• Cap'n Crunch (1 cup) = 145 calories
• Quaker Oatmeal (1/2 cup uncooked) = 150 calories
• Honey Bunches of Oats (1 cup) = 160 calories
• Kellogg's Frosted Flakes (1 cup) = 160 calories
• Cinnamon Toast Crunch (1 cup) = 173 calories
• Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats (1 cup) = 175 calories
• Kellogg's Raisin Bran (1 cup) = 190 calories

Please note that calorie counts are based on a 1 cup measurement. The average person usually pours closer to 1 and 1/2 cups of cereal into their bowl, in which case, you must multiply the calories by 1.5. In other words, for Lucky Chars that would be 213 calories that you must account for. The only way to know for sure is to use a measuring cup. Next we measure the milk.

Whole milk

1 oz. = 18 calories

1/2 cup = 72 calories

3/4 cup = 106 calories

1 cup = 144 calories

2 % milk

1 oz. = 15 calories

1/2 cup = 60 calories

3/4 cup = 90 calories

1 cup = 120 calories

Skim milk

1 oz. = 11 calories

1/2 cup = 44 calories

3/4 cup = 66 calories

1 cup = 88 calories

Remember, if you add anything else like sugar or fruit, you must also add those calories to the total for the 'bowl' or 'serving' of cereal and milk. All US cereal manufacturers are required to have the calorie labeling on the packaging. When you check the manufacturer's listed calories, also note the amount. Many cereals are listed for 3/4 cup of cereal, when in fact, you may actually be pouring twice that amount into your bowl. Use a measuring cup to be sure.

Cereals listed according A.C. Nielsen Financial Services 2008 top cereals list, with plain Quaker Oats added for reference.

Answer 2

Total (whole grain, different flavors have more calories) is 100 caloires per serving, and then it depends on what kind of milk you use. Slim milk is 90 caloires per serving, 2% is 130 calories per serving. (Those are the two most popular.)
