Breakfast Cereals - How many calories are there in my breakfast cereal?

Breakfast cereals have been around for a long time, and were originally billed as a pure wholegrain food product, but due to fierce competition manufacturers stared adding salt and sugar to their ingredients.
Eating cereals in the morning can give you a great start to the day, as their high sugar and carbohydrate content will give you the energy you need to last until lunch time.
Finding nutritional food for you and your family is all part of good housekeeping. Below is a fantastic table of nutritional figures.
