Special K Chocolatey Delight
One serving of Special K Chocolatey Delight is 3/4 cup and has 120 calories, 2 grams of total fat (3% of the RDA) and 2 grams of saturated fat (10% of the RDA), 8% of the RDA for sodium, 2 grams of protein and 25 grams of total carbohydrates including 9 grams of sugar but only 1 gram of fiber. Which means, for a 1 cup portion, that is 160 calories, 20% of the RDA for saturated fat and 12 grams of sugar. Sorry folks, there is no chocolate without the fat (at least in this case). The ingredients list start with rice and whole wheat, but there is partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil. so although the amount of trans fat is less than 0.5 grams per serving, if you gobble more than 1 serving a a time, it will add up. A big 13.4 ounce box cost $2.98 which is a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, this has more fat than I would like in a cereal, so I would shop around for alternatives before buying this again.

Hmmm there is hydrogenated oil-can't see that as healthy at all
