Jan. 28th, 2008 12:45 amThere is such a thing as low-calorie breakfast cereal. In case you were wondering.
I found some website listing the top 10 breakfast cereals for dieters, and they didn't know what the hell they were talking about. They had ones that were 160 calories (and up) per serving on there. No. This is my list, to be updated, you know, if I come up with any more.
Malt-O-Meal is a brand of off-brand cereal that we buy whenever it's the cheapest, and they seem to have pretty darn good calories on a lot of their stuff. So, just from their website, here are the best ones.
(All standardized to 1 cup for comparison purposes. And because, you know, who wants less cereal than that?)
Puffed Rice/Puffed Wheat (either/both)-- 60 kCal per cup (<- WANT.)
Honey Buzzers (like Post's Honeycomb) -- 82.5
Crispy Rice -- 104
Honey Nut Scooters (Cheerios) -- 110 (Oddly, plain scooters have 10 calories more)
Beware, however, of websites that say weird numbers. For example. Occidental College has Total Raisin Bran - 89 per cup, but I knew that couldn't be right because the bran ones always are high in calories. I looked it up on Total's website, and it's actually 160. FitDay, the food/calorie counter that I use has the Malt-O-Meal Puffed Wheat at somewhere around 43.5 per cup, if I'm remembering that correctly, which is also wrong.
Just for informational purposes. And so I remember to buy some of that stuff that was number 1.
In other news, in the past hour or so while I've not been writing the proposal for my english paper (as I can't come up with an idea for said proposal) the gum around brokentoothfromhell has tripled in size again. It had gone down quite a bit when I started taking the antibiotics and ibuprofin, but now the outside bit of it (before it was more the mouth-side of the tooth, now it's the cheek-side) is all swollen. And (LOL, TMI) when I poke it, the swelly bit moves like there's fluid inside. Lovely. *mutters* Fucking dentist.
