Milk: The calorie of pure milk is 54 kcal/100g, a cup of 250g milk is about 135 kcal, while skim milk is slightly lower, and a cup of 250g skim milk is about 83 kcal.

Oatmeal: There is not much difference in calories between the ready-to-eat cereal sold in the market and the rough plain cereal, which is about 360 ~ 390 kcal/100 g. Some ready-to-eat cereals may have more than 400 calories because they are flavored with sugar.

(For your reference, the heat of steamed bread is 223 kcal/100g)

Therefore, if you brew 50 grams of cereal breakfast with a cup of pure milk (general amount), the heat can reach about 320 calories. If you mix it with a boiled egg and some vegetables, the calories of this meal are basically around 400 calories.

So, why is cereal with milk not low in calories, but favored by many people? Personally, I think there may be the following reasons: 1. The nutritional value of grain and milk is still worthy of recognition. Milk is a high-quality source of protein, calcium and vitamin D, while cereals are rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamin B, nicotinic acid, potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium and manganese, but the nutritional value of rough processing will be higher than that of ready-to-eat food because more vitamins are retained.

The combination of the two is not only nutritious, but also full, so many friends will match it like this.

2. Some friends don't care about calories at all. Friends who may be losing weight are sensitive to the calories of each meal, but for many friends, the calories of a meal are not considered at all, so it doesn't matter even if the calories are high.

Moreover, a breakfast with 400 calories is not much. For a light-weight crowd, the daily calorie of 1800 ~ 2000 calories is normal, so it is not very exaggerated to add cereal and milk to breakfast or dinner.

Convenience is the most important thing. For office workers, the time to eat breakfast is against time. It's not convenient to cook porridge, and it's not convenient to cook rice. If you make cereal with milk, you can be full. Why not?

4, just like to eat, the other is not important. For example, the author was obsessed with cereal milk for a while, even if he liked it, it wouldn't hurt. How can he think about other things?

Therefore, for some friends who are losing weight, cereal and milk really need to be considered, while for the general population, it is no problem to choose to eat according to their own preferences and habits. However, from the perspective of nutritional value, it is suggested that coarse grains should be the best choice of cereals, especially for people with hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
