Put an open bag of Haribo and some Mars bars in there and the cereal habit will soon stop!

How big is a portion of cereal in your house?

Apparently, the cereal manufacturers have special bowls for photographing their product on the packet, which are smaller than most bowls, so that they can show the 'correct' portion and not look stingy.
Porridge tastes much better made with water. More oaty and less claggy. It's a splash of cold (full cream) milk you want on top of it, not boiled milk in it. Try it and see - you can still put sugar on/in it. There's something about oats that enables you to taste the sweetness of the cold milk.

Porridge made with ice cream is for winners.

Ah, said son is a veggie so the haribo would be safe, not sure about the mars though.
That doesn't surprise me. It's smoke and mirrors. If they were to call the size of portion that people actually eat a "serving", the nutrition information would have to have red flashing lights and sirens attached. Because it's junk food.

Me and my mate Chris used to have Weetabix eating competitions, he won by eating a whole box!
I have 3 Oatabix for brekkie and often have cereal at night (not high fibre otherwise I'll explode in the morning
) which will be 2 full pasta bowls ....I love cereal.
It's better the kids eat/bulk out on that rather than other stuff, if they're active they need it.

Way too much really, I don't tend to have cereals other than muesli and porridge in the house but muesli tends to be most of the bowl full.
Porridge is far more defined. I use 1/3 cup porridge oats with a cup of water (measuring spoons FTW
) to which I add either maple syrup* or bananas and a splash of semi skinned milk. I tried lots of different ways of making porridge and this was my favourite.
*Well Tate and Lyles golden syrup with maple flavouring, I'm not made of money

I recently bought, for the first time, a packet of Dorset Cereals...and it lasted all of three days either because they're not that great a deal for the price you pay or I'm too piggy to have a normal portion. Back to Holland and Barrett muesli or Alpen or Lidl Strawberry crunch.
