I’m not really good with reading the food labels. That being said, I was wondering if Special K cereals are bad for my diet ? I mean, does it contain sugar or sodium? I have it everyday for breakfast with a handful of raisins and a banana.

Hi! Special K cereals are not bad for your diet, but they’re just not the best option if you want to lose weight compared to plain unsweetened cereals.

One bowl of Special K + 1 cup of skim milk + the raisins and banana you add = 39 grams of sugar

This is even more sugar than in a chocolate candy bar! You can keep eating special K but I would omit the raisins and banana if I were you, or I would eat plain unsweetened oatmeal with either the raisins or the banana.
