Common questions

Is Cheerios Cereal healthy?

Cheerios Cereal scores 10/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 4g fiber, 5g protein and 2g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Cheerios Cereal?

Cheerios Cereal lists 25 ingredients, starting with Oats, Corn Starch, Sugar, Salt and Tripotassium Phosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

How many calories are in Cheerios Cereal?

140 kcal per serving, or 359 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Cheerios Cereal on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
