I’m not much of a cook or recipe reader but is a pat really a proper measurement of butter or something? I guess I could google it but I want to hear it from the experts :-)
I could also see this post as a poll “which low cal breakfast looks most appealing?” (it’s close between 2 & 4 IMHO)

That’s a good question… in my opinion, a pat of butter is a slice of butter from a regular stick of butter around 1 millimeter thick.
And I agree! 2 and 4 do look the yummiest! ;-)

Don’t want to burst any bubbles, but 2 cups of most cereals is already over 300 calories, never mind the milk (another 50ish), and the banana (about 100 calories). Best to look at nutritional guides on the sides of all the packages…
