Breakfast cereals: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Breakfast cereals are a popular way to start the day, offering a convenient source of energy. This category includes a wide variety of products, from traditional wheat biscuits and shredded wheats to more modern, flavoured options. When choosing a breakfast cereal, it's helpful to look at the nutrition information and ingredient list. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends choosing cereals that are lower in sugar and salt. Check the front-of-pack labels for information on these. The ingredient list can tell you more about the composition of the cereal. Look for 'wholegrain' or 'wholemeal' as one of the first ingredients to maximise fibre intake, which is important for digestion. While many cereals are fortified with vitamins and minerals, paying attention to sugar and salt content helps align your choice with general healthy eating guidelines. Remember that free sugars should make up no more than 5% of your daily energy intake. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
