Does cereal make you gain weight?

Question

I just started eating Oatmeal Crisp cereal. I ate 4 bowls today w/ whole milk.

Total Fat 2.5grams in 1 cup
Carbs 51grams in 1cup
Dietary fiber 4grams in 1cup
Sugar 20grams 1 cup
Protein 5grams in 1 cup

And this DOESN'T include the milk's nutrition facts.

Answer 1

No protein, no vegetables, no whole grains and no fruit. All processed flour, sugar and fat (milk).

Of course that is bad for you and yes, you WILL gain weight.

Answer 2

depends on the serving size of the bowls you ate and how much whole milk but 4 servings of whole milk is 600 calories and 4 servings of cinnamon toast crunch is 520 calories (i dont know what oatmeal crisp has but im using a rough estimate) if you only eat one serving of cereal and one serving of the whole milk 4 times you should actually lose weight because 1120 calories is weight loss territory. but it is most likely that one of your bowls of cereal has 2 servings or close to it of cereal and 1 1/2 servings of milk. so with that being said. you need to find out how many servings of cereal you are eating. and count the calories from it. serving size will be on the side of the box. but as a minimun women should eat 1200 calories a day and men 1500, and those numbers are if you are losing weight. you should probably be eating around 2000 if you are trying to maintain your weight, with some exercise.

Answer 3

First depends on the cereal...high sugar, high fat, high carbs...that can cause weight gain. Also the milk can cause alot of weight gain, whole milk that is. It can make a real big difference! So I guess it all just depends on brands or whole, 2%, 1% that kind of thing.

Answer 4

If its a healthy cereal like cherios, if its not like cookie crisp yes.

Answer 5

Even too much of a good thing can turn out to be a bad thing.
