If I ate nothing Total brand cereal as directed for all my nutrition with whole milk. How long could I survive?

Oh boy, this is my field! Let me go do some math and I'll get back to you in a couple hours.

EDIT: This is probably going to take a day or two. There's a hell of a lot to break down here.

EDIT 2: This is an absolute fucker of a problem. Normally I'd just throw this into FoodWorks, but my academic access got yoinked (uni didn't pay the license fees) so I've had to math it all out by hand. There may be mistakes. Since people are asking, I'll put up what I have in this thread, but I'm not finished. Macronutrient balance and amino acids are still to come.

Disclaimers: I'm not from the States, so the RDIs I have might be slightly different, but probably not by much (except for folate). There are also a -lot- of interactions between nutrients that affect bioavailability, any one of which could be the subject of several research papers. I tend to get obsessive about these things but I refuse to go on that deep a dive because I'll literally never stop.

I'm also not a dietician, I'm a nutrition postgrad. Some of this stuff falls more into dietician / biochemist territory which gets outside my expertise a bit.

This person better hurry. I'm almost out of Total cereal and I need to know if I should restock.
- Updated. There's more to come.
It’s been a couple of hours.
- It sure has. I am still working on it. I had to go run a couple errands, and it turned out to be a much harder problem than I thought at first.

Probably a long time. Humans are fairly resilient just gotta follow the rule of 3...

3 minutes without air 3 days without water 3 weeks without food

Equals dead. (Roughly give or take depending on environmental factors.)

Wait, it seems like we don't want to follow the rule of 3.

The whole milk is really making this plausible

Probably live for years and years. Milk is sufficient for a baby to grow up after all.

The cereal is probably going to make the milk less healthy then milk alone. Carbs, and anti nutrients, and fibre - reducing how much nutrition you can absorb from the milk

Long enough that it'd be hard to rule diet as your cause of death. Your biggest consequences would be low energy and a weakened immune system. Not a great place to be, but you're not gonna be so weak that you fall over to a stiff wind. It would take an untreated illness like the flu or pneumonia to actually kill you.

I know i would go crazy eating the same bland flakes

make it the total raisin bran variety and i could probably handle it for at least a month or two.

That discribes hell for me I hate raisins lol

Probably long enough to make yourself slightly unwell, get a test from the doctor, and sue the company for not providing you with all the nutrients they claim! Lol

Totally dont't know

It says it has all the vitamins you need but probably not all the amino acids, but idk

That's provided by the milk

I would think for a very very long time until some vitamin deficiencies caught up to you.

Yeah but since they say they have 100% of all the vitamin daily needs which ones dare missing that can mess you up.
- I wonder if this is the chewable version of what they give people in a coma
- Maybe you don't only need vitamins?

I'm curious if this experiment includes hydrating with water

Good point it was assumed hydration would be included this just counts for nutritional needs
