Weetabix (2024)

FAQs

What is Weetabix in the USA? ›

Cereal baked with a passion

Crafted with simple ingredients and whole grains, Weetabix® cereal is a delightful way to start your day with goodness.

Weetabix is fortified with certain vitamins and minerals and if eaten to excess, then you could be taking in too much of these nutrients. We would recommend that an adult eats no more than four (4) Weetabix biscuits per day.

2 would leave me hungry. 3 or 4 is just about enough. 4 with a Nananananana and some sultanas in low fat milk is the best brekkie you can have. 4 Weetabix is 268 kcals without any milk or sugar, and it's also 8.6g of protein.

Weetabix is an ideal food from a healthy eating point of view as it is low in fat, high in fibre and low in sugar. It provides an excellent breakfast and an ideal snack any time of the day, including bedtime. However, balance is the key, and you can have too much of a good thing.

Some US grocery stores carry the basic Weetabix (I bought my latest box at Trader Joe's).

A poll, of 2,000 consumers of the popular breakfast, have had crunch talks, and the majority (72 per cent) like it with cold milk. However, 27 per cent prefer theirs with hot milk – with 43 per cent of those heating it to boiling point.

Cereal has a tendency to be jam packed with sugar and empty calories so that may be why you still feel hungry after eating it. If you want a filling meal out of it then I would chose to eat whole grain cereal low in added sugars and add some fruit to it to keep you fuller longer!

As long as your cereals are low on sugar you should be fine. Sugar is highly addictive and causes many problems. Cereals are easy to absorb and you could live on them for months though a varied diet, with many colored vegetables, is more beneficial.

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.

Which is better for breakfast oats or Weetabix? ›

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.

At Healthy Food Guide, we have no problem with people – children and adults alike – eating Weet-Bix as part of a balanced diet. As breakfast cereals go, Weet-Bix is low in sugars, sodium and saturated fat, while being high in fibre. To make a balanced breakfast, we'd recommend adding skim/trim milk.

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.
