There are variations in the number of calories in each cereal, some of the popular flavours have the following calories per 39g serving:Each box of Kellogg’s Special K Protein contains around nine servings, based on a serving size of one-third of a cup, which is the equivalent of 59 grams.

Fibre Day 6: Special K protein shake; grapefruit; Special K cereal with milk; bell pepper strips with salsa; salmon, spinach, and mushroom quiche, whole-wheat toast Special K Original Protein Cereal isn’t classed as a keto-friendly breakfast option as it is a processed food that is high in carbs and other unhealthy ingredients such as BHA/BHT and sugar, although it isn’t overly sweet. Is Special K Protein Cereal High in Protein? May increase appetite: There is a potential for increased appetite for those following the Special K diet. In one study, two groups of participants who consumed cereal at two meals each day reported increased hunger versus the baseline groups.Enter: high-protein cereals. Traditional cereals are typically low in protein, so by making the swap, you'll be able to take better advantage of the benefits of protein at breakfast. As registered dietitian Maddie Pasquariello, M.S., R.D.N., explains, “Adding protein to the first meal of your day will keep you more satiated and [energized] throughout the morning.” (This can be especially helpful if you plan to work out after breakfast or often feel ravenous by lunchtime.) “Some high-protein cereals [might also be] higher in fiber, lower in sugar, and/or made with more natural flavors and colors compared to their traditional cereal counterparts,” adds Pasquariello. Doesn't create healthy habits: By following a short-term diet or challenge with specific meal replacement products, you’re not establishing good-for-you habits or learning how to incorporate healthy, real foods into your diet for the long-term. The amount of protein per serving can vary widely too. In general, high-protein cereals may offer between eight to 20 grams per serving, according to Whittington. (For context, the protein in traditional cereal is typically two to four grams of protein per cup, according to Pasquariello.) When shopping for high-protein cereals, Pasquariello usually looks for options with about 10 grams of protein and five grams of sugar (or less) per serving, but these numbers will differ depending on your goals and taste preferences, she notes.
