  1. SUGAR FOR BREAKFAST?? An Experiment

  2. How much sugar are you eating for breakfast???

  3. What to do first . . . • Pick out a cereal that you would eat for breakfast. • Pour a bowlful of cereal that you would normally eat.

  4. Measure one serving size Starthere • Look at the nutrition label on the cereal box. You will find a measurement for one serving size. • In the second bowl, measure out one serving of the cereal.

  5. Finding the sugar content . . . • Look at your food label again to find out how much sugar is in one serving.

  6. Calculating the sugar content • You now need to figure out how much sugar to measure out. There are 12 grams of sugar in one tablespoon. • Calculate the amount of sugar in one serving size of cereal.

  7. Measuring the sugar content . . . • Measure out this amount of sugar and place it in one of the clear cups. • Calculate the amount of sugar that is in your normal bowlful of cereal. Measure this and place it in the second cup.

  8. Compare your findings • Were you surprised at the difference between your portion size and the recommended portion of cereal? • Were you surprised at how much sugar you were eating in a “typical” bowl of cereal? • Can you see how easy it could be to eat too much sugar for breakfast when you do not read nutrition labels or pay attention to portion size?
