Weet-Bix!

[timinator]

What do you guys recon about these bad boys?

I eat 8 in the morning... Then 8 at around 4pm when I get home..

16 a day seems alot!! Especially when you lay them all out!

Just want to get your thoughts on them..

[Ordy]

check all the other posts in here.

Eat oats instead

[ThePman]

It's just food.

If it fits your calorie and carb totals for the day, it won't hurt you. There's nothing special about any kind of food as long as it fits the numbers.

[Peachy]

As long as you don't sprinkle it with heapsa sugar!! Think it is quite high in sodium though so just be aware of that....

I was also going mention oats as well plus having oats taste nice comapre to weet-bix taste like cardbord or :puke:

[Nand0]

i use to have 10 wheet bix and it taste like crap for each with using chocolate milk. Which to oats with 2-3 white eggs and bannana or some fruit. hell of alot better. Taste and energy

It's just food.

But there are better options out there.

I get better energy (reads more energy) from oats than weetbix. Feel hungry an hour later after 8 of em but 2 cups of cooked oats fills the gap and fuels the fire way better.

Are you achieving your goals? If you are, why care? All the reeeally knowledgeable people who push pull and squat heuuuge weights say carbs are carbs. I guess that's why you don't see many ripped powerlifters around hey :pfft: Weet-Bix should be burned at the stake! If you think they're making you fat then maybe eat less of them.

[luv.me.oats]

oats all the way, opt for kumara or basmati or brown rice instead.

Museli (unsweetened or make your own - on the weekend)

Wheat bloats me, so thumbs down for weetbix. What's the gi on weetbix anyway?

[timinator]

Thanks for your opinions, seems as tho oats is the better option.. I have read about oats being pretty dam good.. wanted to see how weet-bix compare.. I think ill give these oat things a go :wink: ..

Do you guys just make porridge??

I've got a pretty racey metabolism so it doesn't really matter I guess..

Plus they taste good! Stuff you weet-bix haters

[Ordy]

I just pour some oats in a bowl with yoghurt, usually fresh n fruity kinda stuff.

Needs some flavour

[runveerun]

I have porridge in the winter. Summer I will eat them roar!

[rose]

:shock: You think Weet-Bix taste good? Jeez. I don't hate Weet-Bix, they make good firestarters in lieu of kindling :grin: If you're not getting fat, why are you questioning eating them? Why don't you just carry on eating them? :-s The All Blacks love them so they must be good! :pfft:

Better than eating raw oats...

Firestarters awesome.. Ill give it a go

[luv.me.oats]

eating raw oats? interesting palate you have there.

[AlBundy]

Porridge causes my digestive tract to go on strike. Weetbix with some yoghurt on em all good.

ahh yes also

Think it is quite high in sodium though so just be aware of that....

Per 100g Weet-bix has 283mg as opposed to oats with only 9mg. Alot more! Is this significant?? What does to much sodium do?

[Peachy]

Well someone correct me f I am wrong here but from what I understand the body maintains a certain level of concentration of sodium in the blood plasma stuff. Its supposed to match the concentration of potassium on the other side of the cells. Anyways when you eat a lot of sodium you have to drink alot of fluid to maintain the same concrentration otherwise the plasma in the blood thickens which makes it harder to pump around your body (higher blood pressure). When its harder to pump around your body then you can't get as much performance from your muscles coz they don't get the oxygen and energy they need fast enough. YOur heart has to work a lot harder just to pump the blood the same as it normally does.

Also there is something to do with the nervous system too. I can't remember exactly but the nerve cells have sodium on one side and potassium on the other side and the concentration needs to match so the your nerves activate properly or something coz it switches side when they activate... lol that makes no sense but look it up.

Anyways you should have only 2g of sodium a day or 5g of salt max.

[timinator]

^^^ thanks for that extra info. Good to know! I may consider fewer weet-bix with oats on top lots of carbs not so much sodium! Win win situation :pfft: plus a bit of yoghurt so it won't taste so bland..

[Roidzilla]

eating raw oats? interesting palate you have there.

raw is the ONLY way to eat oats!! :nod:

[AlBundy]

What 84mg of sodium per 2 weetbix? I'd have to eat 48 weetbix to hit that.

[runveerun]

Yep they is great with a protein shake poured over them you should try it! More muesli texture than cooked oats :grin:

[kernzzi]

weet bix is all gud do u add sugar or just hav them plain?

whats the most weet bix you've eaten at one sitting?

[Buzzard]

Weet Bix are a waste of time. Porridge is the way to go.
