> I eat about 1200 calories

Do you have a medical condition? that's a lot of calories to take on for Breakfast, that's almost half my daily quota.

A typical cereal serving is 45g, which is a very small volume, the box I have in front of me tight now tells me it’s 250kcal. It’s super easy to eat muuuuch more than that because carbs are so satisfying they’re downright addictive.

Two bowls of cereals can fly very quickly into one’s belly, pour in some milk and the tally easily crosses the 1000kcal mark.

That's either some strangely fatty cereal, or it's already factoring in some milk. 45g of pure sugar is only 180 kcal.
