What changes the number
Cornflakes are marketed as a weight-loss breakfast and are one of the weaker ones — almost pure refined carbohydrate, very little protein, and they digest fast enough that hunger returns quickly. The 40 g of flakes is about 145 kcal, but the milk usually adds another 130 and the sugar on top adds more. Honey and flavoured variants carry substantial added sugar. Oats with curd, or eggs, will hold you several hours longer for similar calories.
