No Count Chocula?


Stop me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking if you're eating chocolate cereal you're not doing it for the nutrition factor.
Nevertheless, you might be interested to know that of all the chocolate cereals, Chocolate Chex is the worst. Or at least that's what Men's Health says.
They claim Cocoa Puffs, Cocoa Crisps or Cookie Crisp are better for you.
Here are the stats:
General Mills Chocolate Chex (1 cup)
174 calories
3.5 g fat (0 g saturated)
1 g fiber
11 g sugars
Cookie Crisp (1 cup)
133 calories
1.5 g fat (0 g saturated)
1.5 g fiber
15 g sugars
A difference of 43 calories per cup? 4 grams of sugars? Okay, I'll give you the fat and fiber are more significant.
In case you weren't sure, this really isn't a breakfast food, it's a dessert and as desserts go it's better than creme brulee.
