(By Shenrina Badri) You could very easily prevent weight gain simply by measuring the amount of cereal you are about to eat. Using measuring cups is a great way to do this.

Avoid excess calories

Measuring your cereal, will help prevent you from pouring excess amounts into your breakfast bowl. We so often overlook just how much extra we add in, and this can lead to weight gain in the long term, due to excess calories that we are taking in.

Mix and match!

You could also try combining different cereals together if you want to try a change in taste and texture but remember to watch your portion size. Combining different cereals may help you to reduce your calorie intake, especially if one of the cereals is high in calories.
