So I pour 1/2 cup of milk in my cereal every morning but there is a lot left over in the bowl when I am done with the cereal. Should I log less milk in my food log?

I don't....better to be under than over....maybe you don't measure in your favor throughout the day...so that is your insurance

Digital scale! Better to be exact. :)

Drink it.

try using 1/3 of a cup and see if that is enough for you rather then having any wasted leftover?

Drink the milk. Some of the vitamins labeled are powdered on the cereal and come off in the milk. Drink the milk and you will get your full dose.

I always log 1/2 cup even though I know sometimes it's less, and there is often some in the bowl. If you're really nit-picky about your calories, and don't want to waste any, then you could measure what's left and deduct it.
When you look back in a year's time, will you be saying, "I'm so glad I stuck it out!" or "Why did I waste another year?" |

I personally would just drink the milk, unless you don't like to?

I don't like milk at all so I don't ever eat cereal (except for raisin bran sometimes...I eat it dry).
Any suggestions as to what I could put in my cereal? Something that doesn't taste so milky? |

I never got why someone would leave the excess milk after they eat cereal. Both my kids do that. I don't know where they got that habit from. That just seems weird to me. I always drink my excess milk.

I like non-fat vanilla yogart mixed with my cereal. Adds more protein than milk.

Way to go Betty! I'm with you. I always drink my milk. Even it doesn't look cool. (That's what my kids said) The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

that milk that's left in the bottom of the bowl has little bits of soggy cereal in it. yuck!
Sometimes I sprinkle my cereal on top of yogurt ... kinda like a parfait ... something a little different
