I buy 500g bags of Granola, and I noticed I was getting through them quickly. So I tried using 7 heaped dessert spoon sized servings and still found the same problem. So, while in the shop earlier I bought some scales. 6 spoonfuls = 82g, the 'serving' listed on the packet is 40g, which with milk is 249 calories. 40g.. who the fuck calls that a serving?! This means I've been eating well over 500 cals just for that part of my breakfast.
My point is, it's no wonder the population is getting fat.
I bought two packets of Jelly Tots the other day, and they just so happened to be different packaging. The newer of the two had a portion size that was smaller, but it was blatantly to make the figures on the front more appealing for people so they feel they can treat themselves.
This annoys me. So I thought I'd share it.

Now I do porridge and a banana, 250 calories.
I've found granola is fine as cycling fuel but not really breakfast material.
Been around ten stone most of my adult life so I'm not too concerned with counting calories too much though I do eat quite healthily.
Stick to Weetabix, oats or eggs - that's the advice I've given to myself...
I fucking love granola though. I can get through a pack in a weekend!
That Quaker Oat stuff is really tasty, so is Jordans.
40g did not look like very much.
20g of muesli really didn't look like much.
But you know what? You get used to it really quickly.
And it's about right.
