Freeper Dog-Owners know Their STuff!
I'm trying to find the "calorie count" of a SINGLE Cheerio, or Store Brand "O".
Those of Us with pudgy Dogs, need NUMBERS!
Measure out a cup, 110 calories a cup right?
Count out the cheerios, divide 110 by the number of cheerios.
Voila.
roughly 4800 cheerios in a box
per cup there are 120 calories 8 servings in 1 box equals 960 calories so if you take 4800 cheerios and divide them into 8 equal portions, you would get 600 cheerios per cup.
so per cup you can divide 120 by 600 and get .2 calories per cheerio or do the full box method and take 960 divided by 4800 and get the same .2 calories
But this info came from a post but someone calling himself "Hugh Jascok" so ..... ?
Pudgy dogs need protein, as in meat, low carbs, lots of vitamins, some good fiber (some dogfoods for “pudgy dogs” fill it up with fiber, practically sawdust and no nourishment — one of my neighbor’s dog almost died)
You're answer was excellent until you tainted it with this French word. Comprendez-vous?
Sorry I can’t help you , we are a Cocoa Puff family.
You made me laugh!
Cocoa Puffs - Food of the Gods.
But for the record if my Mom ever learns how to log on to a computer, and joins FreeRepublic - we eat Oatmeal everyday, and drink our Ovaltine.
Oui, je comprende.
To this day, one of the greatest disappointments in my life was when my Mom finally gave into my supplications and bought me the Ovaltine that sponsored my favorite Saturday morning TV show, “Captain Midnight.” Ugh! What a horrible taste. And it wouldn't even dissolve in cold milk! I was probably about 10-years-old at the time, and it taught me a very valuable lesson about the stuff you see advertised on TV!
re: Ovaltine.
LOL, that’s also my story with the same nasty results.
There are few experiences of that time in my life that are available to me now days, but that one is still vivid. It will probably be the last one to go. I can still see that glass of milk sitting there, with globs of black stuff swirling around in it, and me taking that first big, greatly anticipated gulp, expecting a taste not unlike that of Nestles or Hershey. My first big gulp of iced coffee, thinking it was iced tea, is right behind it in bad memories of my youth.
Cocoa Puffs rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially the milk afterwords.
My mother told me I wouldn’t like it but Captain Midnight said it was delicious.
There would be no Nestles or Hershey until the foul Ovaltine was finished. I was caught trying to flush that crap down the toilet.
Ah, memories!
