Milk: The calorie of pure milk is 54 kcal/100g, that of a cup of 250g milk is about135kcal, and that of skim milk is slightly lower, that of a cup of 250g skim milk is about 83kcal.
Oatmeal: There is little difference in calories between the ready-to-eat cereal sold in the market and the rough plain cereal, which is about 360 ~ 390 kcal/100 g. The calorie of a single ready-to-eat cereal may reach more than 400, because sugar is added to the taste.
Therefore, 50 grams of cereal is brewed with a cup of pure milk for breakfast, and the heat can reach about 320 calories. If you add a boiled egg and some vegetables, the calories of this meal are basically in the early 400 calories.
So, why is milk cereal not low in calories, but it is favored by many people? Personally, I think there may be the following reasons:
1. The nutritional value of cereals and milk is worthy of recognition. Milk is a high-quality source of protein, calcium and vitamin D, while cereals are rich in nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, vitamin B family, nicotinic acid, potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium and manganese, but the nutritional value of rough processing is higher than that of ready-to-eat food because more vitamins are retained.
The combination of the two is not only nutritious, but also full of satiety, so many friends will match it like this.
Some friends don't care about calories at all. Friends who may be losing weight are sensitive to the calories of every meal. But for many friends, the calories of this meal have been completely ignored, so it doesn't matter even if the calories are high.
And the intake of 400 calories for a breakfast is not much. It is normal for light people to consume 1800 ~ 2000 calories a day, so it is not too exaggerated to add cereal and milk to breakfast or dinner.
3. Convenience comes first. For office workers, the time to eat breakfast is anti-time. It is not convenient to cook porridge, cook rice, or make cereal with milk. You can eat enough. Why not?
I just like eating, and nothing else matters. Like the author, I have been obsessed with cereal and milk for some time. I just like eating it. There is no harm. What else will I consider?
So for some friends who are losing weight, calories really need to be considered. For the general population, it is no problem to choose a diet according to their own preferences and habits. However, from the nutritional value, it is suggested to choose coarse grains with few additives, especially hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
