Keto: net carbs 21g

If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

Example:
A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.
1.5 tsp of added sugars per serving

Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages as part of their preparation. They do not include naturally occurring sugars found in milk and fruits. Table sugar and high fructose corn syrup are examples of added sugars.

Honey and maple syrup are also "added sugars" when added to food products. Per the FDA, they are not considered added sugars when sold as single ingredient products. However, at Fooducate we still consider them added sugars because they are basically the same as table sugar in terms of nutrition.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of added sugars you consume to no more than half of your daily discretionary calories allowance.

For women: 100 calories (25 grams, 6 tsp per day)
For men: 150 calories (37 grams, 9 tsp per day)

The FDA is more "generous", the Daily Value for added sugars is 200 calories (50 grams, 12 tsp per day).

Here at Fooducate, we suggest sticking to the stricter option (only 25 grams per day for women, 37 grams for men).

The fewer points - the better.
Low fiber

There is not much fiber in here and that's not good!

Your breakfast should have more fiber and this cereal alone won't do the trick. Either switch to a healthier cereal (with at least 3 grams of naturally occurring fiber) or add some healthy natural fiber to your cereal or breakfast.

TIPS on adding fiber to cereal:

- Mix in some high fiber cereal, like wheat bran
- Add 2 Tbsp of ground flax seeds
- Eat fresh fruit or berries
Multigrain is NOT necessarily whole grain

Look for 100% whole grain in order to get all the nutrients from the grain, including fiber. If there are several grain varieties, each should be a whole grain.
