I&rsquo;ve also included the data per serving for information, although they&rsquo;re different weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"calories\">Best for Calorie Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first nutritional comparison is calories per weight of cereal, and the breakfast cereal with the lowest calories between Kellogs All-Bran and Bran Flakes is All-bran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight-for-weight and per 100g of cereal, All-Bran contains 24kcal fewer calories than Bran Flakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Per recommend serving All-Bran contains more calories because a serving contains 15g more cereal than a serving of Bran-Flakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cereal Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Calories Per 100g<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Calories Per Serving<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kellogg&rsquo;s All-Bran<\/td><td>334kcal<\/td><td>150kcal (Per 45g Serving)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kellogg&rsquo;s Bran Flakes<\/td><td>358kcal<\/td><td>107kcal (Per 30g Serving)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"carbs\">Best for Carbohydrate Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing carbohydrates, neither cereal can be considered a low-carb breakfast option.

both All-Bran and Bran Flakes are marketed as healthy options while making this comparison, I was surprised by the amount of sugar they contain, especially because many people choose to add a sprinkle of extra sugar to their cereal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight-for-weight, the lower sugar option between All-Bran and Bran Flakes is Bran Flakes, which contains 14g of Sugar compared to All-Bran, which has

important to note that neither cereals have fatty ingredients, suggesting the fat comes from natural fats found in whole grains, which could be considered good fats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tables below

price of a 750g box of Kellogg&rsquo;s Bran Flakes and a 750g box of All-Bran in the UK are both &pound;3.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on this information, weight-for-weight, both kinds of cereal cost the same amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"winner\">Overall Winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&rsquo;ve now compared calories, nutritional information, and cost, and the winner of the best cereal in most categories is &ndash; <strong>Bran Flakes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to All-Bran, Bran Flakes are lowest in calories, carbs, Sugar, and Fat while being the highest in protein, vitamins, and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to note that while Bran Flakes is the winner of most categories, All-Bran contains a substantial amount of fiber which is important for many consumers who choose it as a breakfast cereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which cereal is best for you depends on what is most important to you and your diet, and hopefully, the information in this article can help you make an informed choice based on a fair comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Comparison Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Winner (All-Bran or Bran
