The Diet
Cereal Killer - Healthy,
nutritious and delicious - cereal can add pounds to
the old rusty weight scales.
Is that
morning robe fitting a bit more snuggly these days?
If your morning starts with a bowl of cereal, it may
be the culprit of weight gain. Here's how to ensure
that healthy nutrition doesn't explode into your pants,
thighs and that morning robe:
All cereal bowls are not created equal.
Tomorrow morning, fill your cereal bowl as you
would normally, then grab the 1-cup measuring cup. Next,
check the cereal box label to determine the recommended
serving size which can be as little as 1/4 cup for granola-type
cereals and as much as 1 1/3 cup for some varieties
of cornflakes and puffy cereals. Using your measuring
cup, measure how much cereal you deposited into your
bowl.
With some
cereals containing 200 or more calories per serving,
an accidental double-serving can turn those breakfast
calories into a T-bone steak meal or even a pack of
Hostess Ding Dongs weighing in at 368 calories per serving.
If you discover
that your bowl holds more than you thought, try switching
to a smaller cereal bowl. Better yet, stick the
measuring cup into the box and you'll always know exactly
how much cereal you are eating.
All cow juice is not created equal.
The grade of milk that you drown the cereal with
can also pack on unwanted pounds - particularly if you're
using more milk than the cereal box label recommends.
Whole milk weighs in at 160 calories per cup vs
skimmed milk which contains 1/2 the calories. If
you can't cozy up to skim, try 2% then after a week
graduate to 1% and then try the skimmed OR stick with
the 2% or 1% which is a healthier Diet Deal for your
Calorie Buck. The recommended serving for milk on cereal
labels is generally 1/2 cup.
Labels Provide Great Diet Guidance.
The cereal box Nutrition Facts:
- - lists
the calories in the serving of cereal
- - recommends
the type of milk to eat with the cereal plus
the total calories
- - lists
other valuable nutrition information such as
fiber content and fat grams
Sugar Ant Warning.
Another pound-adding technique involves sugar
lovers who can't help but add more sugar onto their
presweetened cereal. If cereal is presweetened,
try to refrain by slowing cutting back on the added
sugar - a similar technique that we illustrated with
the milk above. For unsweetened cereal, a teaspoon
or two of sugar will do. Or, try adding a bit
of no calorie sweetener.
Cereal & Snack Time.
A serving of dry cereal makes a nutritious snack
and is all the rage where college students are concerned.
However, it's wise to grab that measuring cup
rather than eating from the box as calories add up quickly
when in comes to cereal. How many calories in
cereal? Here are just a few:
