| Product | Calories | Total sugar | Added sugar | Protein | Sodium | Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toasted Oat Squares Whole grain cereal | 150 | 5g | 4g | 4g | 160mg | Moderate everyday cereal fit |
| Chocolate Marshmallow Crunch Sweetened cereal | 170 | 15g | 14g | 2g | 190mg | Sweeter option; not a strong low-sugar fit |

For cereal, sugar and serving size are usually the fastest first checks. Fiber and ingredient style can help separate everyday breakfast options from sweeter treat-style cereals.
Before buying
- Check whether the listed serving size matches a realistic bowl.
