How to Measure Cereal by Weight

Every cereal box lists a recommended serving size, based on weight and volume. However, many diets may recommend a different serving size, usually by weight or grams. If you are trying to adhere to the diet's recommendation, you may have difficulty determining the amount you should consume. However, a food scale will allow you to accurately measure the weight of the cereal.
