About 20 Popular Cereal Brands
A Breakdown of My Top Cereal Brands
I decided to narrow down my list of 20 cereals to the six brands I ate most often as a kid.
CLICK on a cereal from the list to see the Fat/Sodium/Carb/Fiber/Sugar/Protein Content per 100 calories displayed in the box below (rounded to the nearest whole number).
Because each cereal has a different amount of calories per serving, showing this should help standardize the nutrition facts a bit better.
