[Laver]

I saw a post a while ago where somebody said they were using weetbix for there carbs, and another person suggested they change to oatmeal.

I was curious how much better oats are than weetbix and why, as id much rather be on weetbix than oatmeal!

Some insight would be awsum

Cheers and merry xmas

raw oats are unprocessed and have no added sugar

weetbix have quite a bit of sugar.

oats are better but dont taste that flash, like most other healthy things.

Per 100g it says 67g Carb, 3g Sugar, does that mean theres added stuff in the 64g of complex carbs that are like sugar but not dont have to be classififed as such?

Check the fiber content

9g on Weetbix, 9g on Oatmeal! (per 100G)

Im guessing we like dietary fibre - im thinking of switching to brown rice, ive found i hate oatmeal, however rice has only 3.3g dietary fibre

Oats is better. Less oxidation but weetbix is defnitely not the worst food in the world mate. Also each individual is different and you need to see to what kind of carb your body responds.

I think the biggest difference between the two would be the GI value of each ( the rate at which the carbs enter your blood stream). In terms of cereals, oats have one of the lowest around. While Weetbix, because of the processing, are digested significantly quicker.

This is why I would use Oats over weet-bix, Low GI are way better for building muscle, loosing fat and overall health, to much high GI foods will only make you fat and lead to Diabete's.

Yea you get over it after a while. 3 years of eating 3+ tins of tuna per day gets old pretty quick. Running out of ways to disguise the taste
