Oatibix Biscuits

Product Information

Many consumers choose a cereal like Weetabix or Oatibix because of the fiber content with both being marketed as high-fiber choices for a healthy gut. It’s really down to personal preference but if these differences are important to you and your diet, then nutritionally it’s worth the switch to Weetabix. For many mueslis, even the no added sugar varieties, you will likely find raisins and sultanas in the ingredients. While not the worst addition in the world, they are dried fruit – and that’s the equivalent of adding pure cane sugar to your cereal. Sugar-frosted cornflakes are high in sugar and low in fibre as well as usually coming with added salt. Sugar-frosted flakes are usually nutritionally similar to other sweetened cereals like chocolate rice cereals, or honey-nut coated cereals.Swapping to an unsweetened equivalent, like cornflakes or puffed rice, would be a good first step and add a serving of fruit for one of your five- a-day plus some added sweetness. Be aware of portion sizes - consider whether the portion size suggested on the box is the same as the portion size you're consuming. Many people pour a larger bowl and therefore consume more calories and more carbohydrate. This is important if you're counting calories to control weight, or if you carb count to adjust the correct dose of insulin.

Oatibix - Weetabix Cereals

Weigh your cereal a couple of times to get an idea of the amount you usually consume and then keep a note of this along with other foods you consume on a regular basis. Use this weight against the per 100g values to calculate your intake.However, cornflakes are an easily digestible breakfast food, which is why they’re so popular. But you also need a hell of a lot to feel full so, if you can, opt for a whole wheat or oats alternative. 8. Rice Krispies Multigrain Breakfast cereals tend to be based on grains - some are wholegrains (such as wheat, bran, oats), and others are refined grains (such as maize and rice). Many also have nuts, seeds and dried fruit added to them. With the goodness of 100% wholegrain oats, Oatibix is a brilliant way to get all of the rich goodness of oats and help maintain a healthy heart at breakfast time. It depends. The mainstream brand is very good, with 77% total wheat, but there is still quite a bit of sugar. Granted, they could be better for you; maize sits higher on the glycemic index chart than slow-release wholegrain oats and wheat. It also has less than 90% maize and then the next ingredient is sugar.
