Quick! What does 100 calories worth of granola look like?

I have a low fat yoghurt and a bag of granola. I'm going to chuck some granola into the yoghurt but want to keep the portion to 100 calories.

Granola is really calorific so I'm thinking two good teaspoons?

Doesn’t the granola have nutritional values on?

Won't the yogurt be 100 calories on it's own?

It really depends on the granola. For my favourite (low sugar) granola, 100 calories is 25 grams or 3.5 tablespoons, but for something sugary it could be much much lower than that.

Depends on the brand-far too complicated. You need scales and nutritional info to be sure:

  1. Watch the calories. These typically amount to several hundred per serving size. Healthier granolas have less than 200 calories per ¼-cup serving, 270 calories per ⅓-cup serving, or 400 calories per ½-cup serving, says O’Shea.

If it has granola clusters, then hardly any - clusters are basically sugar around some grains.

Probably half a teaspoon

MorrisZapp · 03/05/2019 16:19

I ate two teaspoons of it. Think I might bin the rest as its calorie kryptonite :)

My first thought was about 1 oz, so 20-30 grams.
(scans thread& googles) yup 20 g.

I could live off granola, my breakfast bowls ought to have a load level on the inside, like a skip

Just add dust. Tastes the same and has zero calories.
