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

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.

What is the healthiest kind of sugar?

Yes and no. All bodily processes depend upon the transformation of sugars to ATP in the mitochondria; thus, sugars are necessary to and promote life. When consumed in excess, however, sugars are stored as fats. Fat is necessary in the body (to prevent bruising from light contact, in cell membranes, etc.), but may also be stored in unhealthy amounts.

Sugars, regardless of their "natural" or "processed" status are necessary to life. Therefore, consumed in appropriate quantities, natural and refined sugars are indeed healthy.

If you want more info I suggest finding out what natural sugar is in the food you are eating and then research that sugar more directly.

Most common cereal grain worldwide?

Rice provides more than one fifth of the calories consumed by humans.

Rice is associated with prosperity and fertility, which is why it is traditional to throw rice at weddings.

What kinds of breakfast cereal are best?

"The one with the most fiber" tends to be a popular answer, but not the best one. Cold cereals are not made of pure fiber. Food companies add salt and sugars that raise the calories from fat along with the taste, and over-process whole grains to produce light, shapely pieces that have a reduced fiber and protein content.

The perfect cereal has low sugar, low salt, and low calories from fat; while at the same time has high fiber and high protein… oh yea, and it has great taste. Unfortunately, as advanced as our modern world has become, we still find ourselves incapable of producing this "perfect" cereal; so, we must cruise the cereal isle and read the label of every box we find and compare the nutrition labels of each one until we can locate the one cereal with the healthiest balance of all these before-mentioned factors. In other words; a cereal that has the least amount of bad things, and the most amount of good things. Simple!

Actually, it's already been done.

In reviewing over a dozen studies of "healthy cereals" I have noticed one well-known brand that appears in all the top-ten lists, and actually took the number one spot of a top-one list: Frosted Mini Wheats.

Frosted Mini Wheats is medium-high in sugar content at 12g; but it's low in calories from fat at 10 calories per enormous serving, has only 5mg of salt, is high in fiber with 6g, and has a whopping 6g of protein and it has great taste!

While many tout Cheerios as the quintessential "healthy cereal" with only 1 gram of sugar, its whopping 210 mg of salt take Cheerios out of contention in my book.

Also cheerios are the best because they have 1g of sugar and have little cholesterol which can lower the risk of heart disease. It is recommended by most parents because it is a good and healthy breakfast. The down side is, it tastes bland, but if you are really precise about taste, you can taste butter.

Enjoy!

  • Add a little honey to Cheerios for a sweet kick that is still natural. So good!

What to eat with cereal?

typically, cereal is eaten with milk. Fill a bowl as full as you would like with cereal, and then add about 1-2 cups of milk, whatever you prefer. Use soy milk if you are lactose intolerant. On top, add small or sliced fruit. you can use raisins, bananas, peaches, strawberries or whatever else you want. some people even add chocolate chips! On the side if you are hungry, toast with jam or cream cheese is delicious. cottage cheese is also very good for you. Any type of fruit, like oranges or apples, is very healthy too. Avoid eating very sugary products in the morning (like donuts)(sorry!) because although they may make you feel full for a while, they don't give your body the proper nutrition it needs to start the day. Plus, they are very fattening and will make you feel bloated, thirsty and tired.
