Hey all.
I have begun eating muesli a few days a week, as it's very filling, healthy and tasty. The one I eat consists of oats, nuts and raisins I believe, and I eat it with milk. Now normally when I count up my calories for the day in my head, I try to over estimate, and I usually allow 200-250 for breakfast as for most cereals this is more than enough. But when I asked my mum she said she thought eating muesli with milk is like 400-500 calories!
When I heard this I thought it was crazy, is it true? I know breakfast is important, but to have that many in one meal when you could just eat a lot of cereal for less, surely it's not logical? I cannot look on the packet now as I do not have it available to me.
Thanks

On cereal they always refer to 30g portion when talking about the nutritional information of each bowl, so either 30g is hardly anything or I'm eating about 50. I don't have a huge bowl, but a reasonable bowl. I guess I'll try to not eat the full bowl if so.
Hehe. I'll try and weigh it when I next have it! *Please be no more than 80g*
