Presentation transcript:

SUGAR FOR BREAKFAST?? An Experiment

How much sugar are you eating for breakfast???

What to do first... Pick out a cereal that you would eat for breakfast. Pour a bowlful of cereal that you would normally eat.

Measure one serving size Look at the nutrition label on the cereal box. You will find a measurement for one serving size. In the second bowl, measure out one serving of the cereal. Start here

Finding the sugar content... Look at your food label again to find out how much sugar is in one serving.

Calculating the sugar content You now need to figure out how much sugar to measure out. There are 12 grams of sugar in one tablespoon. Calculate the amount of sugar in one serving size of cereal.

Measuring the sugar content... Measure out this amount of sugar and place it in one of the clear cups. Calculate the amount of sugar that is in your normal bowlful of cereal. Measure this and place it in the second cup.

Compare your findings Were you surprised at the difference between your portion size and the recommended portion of cereal? Were you surprised at how much sugar you were eating in a “typical” bowl of cereal? Can you see how easy it could be to eat too much sugar for breakfast when you do not read nutrition labels or pay attention to portion size?
