Cereal
One man walks the healthy-cereal aisle so you don’t have to. Every box tasted, weighed, and priced in cold, hard macros. 25 boxes scored out of ten. A new one every Saturday, whether anybody asked or not.
there’s
less! Sugar, that is
But wait — there’s less!
Less sugar. Less marketing. Less pretending a 60-gram serving is 30 grams. Every box on this site is re-weighed on a kitchen scale and re-typed by hand, because the panel on the front of the box is an advert and the panel on the side is the truth.
The Scoreboard
Ranked #1 to #9 out of 25. Score out of ten. Protein, sugar and serving size taken off the actual side panel — not off the front.
