Recommended Answer:

in equal calorie portions, i would say the cereal is better, because it at least has some minimal amount of nutrition compared to straight sugar in the cotton candy. But if you are on a diet, then calories do count so the lesser calorie portion of cotton candy might be the lesser of two evils, but it still isnt a good choice. When dieting, nutrition is important, but its the excess calories that store to fat and make you gain weight. so in trying to maintain a calorie deficit so you lose weight, its all about the calories.

Other Answers:

• Cinnamon Toast Crunch is less 'unhealthy' because it has some good stuff in it, too. Since both calorie numbers are so small, there really isn't much weight being added either way.
• Cotton Candy is more unhealthy. It's made up of all sugar which are bad carbs that ultimately end up turning into fat. Thus creating more weight.Cinnamon Toast Crunch is better because it's made up of other things besides sugar. Calories is really nothing. The most important thing to me when I look at a nutrition label is Carbs and Fat.
