It depends how much you eat and how many other wheat products you eat in the day. Weetbix are pre-portioned so calories are easily calculated, but if you have bread at lunch and pasta at dinner, that's a lot of wheat in a day. Oats are really versatile and have a lot of health benefits, try googling overnight oats or oatmeal recipes (applesauce and cinnamon or banana and coconut milk are personal favourites). Either is a good breakfast though, why not swap between the two so you don't get bored?0

Both are good! I alternate between them. Weetabix are easier to prepare and count cals for. Oat in porridge is good too and somehow, for me, more 'filling'.0

oats. as previous poster pointed out. check the ingredients. oats are far better for you, fill you up for longer due to the slow burning carbs too. make with skimmed milk and add a bit of cinnamon and a teaspoon of honey if you have a sweet tooth.0
