FAQs

Is it okay to eat Weetabix every day? ›

We would recommend that an adult eats no more than four (4) Weetabix biscuits per day. Taking this amount will leave room for you to eat other foods and have some variety in your diet. For advice regarding children's intake, please contact your health visitor or GP.

Weet-Bix is a good source of B vitamins including B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin) for energy, as part of a balanced diet. Weet-Bix is high in folate! This B vitamin helps support healthy blood cells and immune system, fights fatigue and maintains a healthy mind, in combination with a balanced diet.

Two Weet-Bix with a cup of skim/trim milk provides 834kJ (199cal), 13.6g protein, 32.6g carbs, 13.3g sugars (almost all from the milk) and 3g fibre. This is too light on its own for breakfast – doubling it would be better. We suggest having four Weet-Bix with two cups of milk.

Crush half the Weet-Bix into 2 serving glasses. Layer the yoghurt on top, followed by the berries. Repeat this again.

Porridge made from rolled oats, steel cut oats etc. is much better for you. Oats are a whole grain and have many proven health benefits. Be careful to avoid 'instant oats', and products with added ingredients such as sugars etc.

Ultimately Weetabix is a great cereal to have for breakfast. It is low in salt and sugar — one biscuit contains one hundredth of a teaspoon of salt, which is 0.8% of the FSA's suggested daily salt intake, and less than a fifth of a teaspoon of sugar (0.9g).

Is Weetabix good for fat loss? Weetabix can be a beneficial part of a fat loss diet due to its high fiber content and low sugar levels compared to many other breakfast cereals. High-fiber foods help promote satiety, which can reduce overall calorie intake by keeping you feeling fuller for longer.

Weet-Bix is a low sugar product with only 3.3% sugar. This is around 1/5th of a teaspoon per 30g serve (2 biscuits).

It also depends on what you want to gain from your breakfast meal. If you're looking to boost muscle gain and weight loss, go for the eggs, but if it is convenience and satiety you're chasing, you may want to opt for that bowl of breakfast bowl.

The healthiest breakfast foods include a protein, healthy fat and source of carbohydrates, according to Smolen. For a healthy breakfast, consider eating foods like oatmeal with nut butter, avocado toast with an egg, chia seed pudding or a greek yogurt parfait with nuts and berries.

Cereal: plain oats, corn flakes and shredded wheat are minimally processed, but when the manufacturer adds sugar, flavourings or colourings, they become ultra-processed cereals. Try sticking to cereals such as porridge, corn flakes, bran flakes, weetabix etc rather than the more processed versions.

Wholegrain cereals which are low in salt sugar, such as shredded whole wheat cereal or wheat biscuits, make a better choice when it comes to standard breakfast cereals. Watch out, as many well-known cereals that come with fruit fillings, frosting or chocolate chips tend to have higher amounts of sugar.
