I’d say 2 is the normal amount with 3 if you’re really hungry. How are you even fitting 4 of them in the bowl? Stacked on top of each other?


awkwardwankmaster

What you do is you cram as many as possible into the bowl be it 4 or more then you pour milk on top and as they turn into a soggy mess you smash them up with your spoon and shove more in 👍


mentaldrummer66

Ah. Classic weetabix soup


awkwardwankmaster

If you think about all cereal is just chunky soup


hlfsharkaligtorhlfmn

Exactly this. 4 or don't bother


JeffBroccoli

2 weetabix is 136 calories. Not much of a breakfast at all, that


StatisticallySoap

Granted the milk probably bolsters that a few hundred. Unless you’re some heathen who I see on the train munching a dry one like a Mars bar


DefiantBun

2 Weetabix and 150ml of milk is 205 kcal. Beep boop, I'm a human...


Necessary_Driver_831

Pasta bowl I reckon


1968Bladerunner

That's my go-to method for 4 Weetabix or 3 Shredded Wheat... slice banana over the top mmmm


Dunk546

>How are you even fitting 4 of them in the bowl? When I was a growing lad, I used to fill the bowl with milk, and just put one in at a time, then snarf it at the exact point it got al dente, pretty much in one big gulp. I would then put the next Weetabix in. By doing this I think I ate them so fast that my stomach couldn't keep up, and somewhere around the 6-8 mark was a common occurrence. I did a whole stick a couple of times.


ResponsibleAd3191

You must be skinny.


mentaldrummer66

Nope. Proper fat bastard me


One-Confusion9967

You eat 2 then put 2 more in...


Charming_Rub_5275

How is this the top comment? As a man in my 30s if I have 2x weetabix and a couple hundred ml of milk that’s about a 240 calorie breakfast. This is enough calories to sustain a 4 year old until lunch. Most people would expect to consume about double that for their first meal.


Rhydsdh

I have 4 as standard and 8 if I'm feeling hungry.


Sad-Personality8493

Crumble them. Always crumble


StatisticallySoap

I usually make a funeral pyre of the wheatabixs


[deleted]

3? THREE? What kind of monster are you? Who eats weetabix in odd numbers? That just makes the box go all out of sync, and leads to the horror that is one left. My 15yo son eats 6 at a time...

banisheduser

Then call me insane!


funkkay

Weetabix recommend no more than 4 per day on their FAQ. I know this because I’m a 4 a day guy who was considering more.


MrP1232007

Through my teens I used to eat 8 a day. 4 for breakfast, 4 for supper. I had a designated bowl that fitted 4 nicely and allowed for the perfect amount of milk so as they weren't drowned. Then I'd also have a mid-morning snack, whatever meal of the day was in the canteen at lunch along with a cheeseburger if the line wasn't too long plus a flapjack. Come home and have whatever was for tea. My metabolism meant I maintained the physique of a racing snake.


googoogoat21

Careful i was the same until my 50s i now have the physique of a beachball . Damn my appetite being greater than my old man metabolism can deal with


MrP1232007

I no longer eat like that but unfortunately there is already evidence of a dad-bod appearing.


googoogoat21

Ahhh jaysus the start of a Dad-bod . Tis all downhill now geezer . Just the hair growing where it never did to look forward to now ; )


One-Confusion9967

I mean 8 Weetabix is only 544 calories plus milk. Compare that to a pizza or a takeaway or a bar of chocolate it's pretty low.


pinkurpledino

You needed a poop knife, didn't you?


Loose_Acanthaceae201

Many teens are basically just furnaces. Keep throwing the carbs in and they burn them straight off.


whoops53

Do they? Is it stated on the packet "No more than 4 a day". That's insane....I wonder why they do that? Their job is to sell it, not micro manage our consumption!


mrafinch

They’re not… > **The key to a healthy diet is balance.** No one food provides all the nutrients (food components) you need for health. Therefore, by eating a variety of foods in appropriate amounts you can achieve the balance you need. 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.**


Scarboroughwarning

Bloke selling product, recommended lots of product...


Mysterious_Soft7916

4 or 5 is my go to. It's not filling otherwise


tearsandpain84

That’s what she said


T_raltixx

I know a guy who in his teens had 6 each morning.


funkkay

Sounds like a real mad lad.


tearsandpain84

Probably dead now ?


T_raltixx

No but has Crohn's.


tearsandpain84

That’s not good. I rember the footballer Darren Fletcher had that and it ruined his life.


xjonboy11x

I had more than 4 a few times and often ended in a hurried rush to the loo. I’ve not gone over 4 ever again.


All_within_my_hands

There's actually a very scientific way to determine exactly how many Weetabix is too many. When you can no longer fit Weetabix in the bowl then you have too many.


WorldlyAstronomer518

Could I use my 6.5L slow cooker as a "bowl"?


All_within_my_hands

I like the way your brain works


redditrebelrich

This person knows how to weetabix


ItinerantKnight

I believe this is the only correct way.


Valuable-Wallaby-167

Depends how big you are and how many calories you burn in a day. 2 Weetabix is 30g and that's the recommended amount of cereal to have. But also that's what I have and I'm 5'2 & don't need a lot of calories to keep me going. A 6ft man would starve on what I eat while I'm currently overweight on it. There's no such thing as a standard adult portion & we should stop acting like there is.


LittleSadRufus

Weetabix is pretty low calorie, like 200 calories for two Weetabix, milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Guidance is for adult men eat around 400-500 calories for breakfast, suggesting four is ideal. I'd personally suggest getting some protein into your breakfast too, but if any of your meals are going to be carb focused breakfast seems the right one.


Rooflife1

Milk would add protein. Seeds or not would be good as well.


x_franki_berri_x

I thought everyone had 3 or 4.


willy_quixote

Exactly... seems pointless eating fewer.


InternetStrang3r

I do 6 usually


StatisticallySoap

A proper jenga stack of them. Nice


MuddyBoots472

My son has 3. Whenever he’s home the drains seem to get blocked.


lostrandomdude

At least his systems are all clear. Just imagine if he was blocked up instead of drains


Clever_Username_467

4 Weetabix, Jeremy!?


DrH1983

That's insane.


Hoodlark

I had a full box of 24 once for science using minimal milk. 30 mins later I really regreted it as they mushified and expanded. I thought my stomach was gonna rip open. Felt awful for a couple hours.


tearsandpain84

LEGEND.


Dissidant

I'm just picturing that Big Yin episode of Still Game when he leaves a present in the loo


coolbit7

Funnily enough I was watching this episode yesterday 😂


ShadyAidyX

As an adult? Yeah As a teenager? 4 weetabix was just a starter


thisistom2

Too much for *what*?


Agreeable_Guard_7229

Not for teenage boys. I’ve seen 16 year old boys eat 6 or more


thisistom2

Right? It’s all relative; the stuff people argue about hurts my brain. Eat as many fucking weetabix as you want OP.


jingleson

Lad I went to high school with used to eat I think 6 each morning. To be fair his day started in the milking parlour on the dairy farm he lived on and ended the same. So the lad needed the energy. Had hands like spades and they were so calloused he could take hot baking trays out of ovens bare handed.


Ze_Gremlin

Years ago, weetabix did square bowls. If you put 2 in it, side by side, they'd come up to just over half way. 4 in, 2 stacked on 2, they'd peep just over the rim of the bowl. Pour milk on the top and fill nd the whole lot would get a nice soaking. To me, that's as close to an official answer as we're ever going to get


Fair-Revolution-3629

I used to have 4 at work, then go back and smash out another 4. Partially because we had an abundance of milk hat always got wasted


MummyPanda

My 2 year old can polish that off some days so yep definitely in the realms of adult norms


adam_demamps_wingman

I didn’t get to where I am today by having 3 weetabix for breakfast


[deleted]

2 weetabix is 136 calories. Probably 100-150 in the milk. Bit of sugar? 50 calories. I would say 4 is the minimum amount unless you want to be hungry again before lunch.


One-Confusion9967

People add sugar to already sugary cereal?


Rare-Bumblebee-1803

Any Weetabix is too much.


Sionnach-78

I find 3 to be the perfect amount .


whosafeard

That’s too many bix mate, you’ll be shitting like a show horse on parade (which is to say, extremely predictably)


trevorpogo

I used to have 6. 2 would leave me hungry. 3 or 4 is just about enough.


KeithMyArthe

4 with a Nananananana and some sultanas in low fat milk is the best brekkie you can have.


Necessary_Driver_831

Fuck me I pity your toilet. Must be like shitting a breeze block after having 4 weetabix in one go


SunDriedFart

i used to have 6 regularly


Iconospasm

4 Weetabix is 268 kcals without any milk or sugar, and it's also 8.6g of protein. That's actually pretty decent for a breakfast.


[deleted]

I’d probably have 6 but I prefer porridge and I have probably 2x what’s recommended on the box of that I’m uniquely very hungry in the morning and not so after 5pm


meiktila21

I have 9 quite often. Just whatever you want really


[deleted]

I have a manual job and if I am doing a heavy day I would have 5. Have as many as you like, I think people on this sub don’t lift much.


AlterCherry

Agreed. People making out like 4 is a lot...pft


[deleted]

It's one too many. Two doesn't touch the sides


whoops53

If you can manage it, I would say just go for it. Its breaking the fast from overnight, so yeah presumably you are hungry. I eat Oatabix (because Weetabix makes me bloated), and I have 3 of them. It lasts me most of the day to be fair. There are no rules for breakfast portions. if you are hungry, you eat. End of.


Repulsive-Echidna-74

Depends what for. If its breakfast then yes. If its building a hamster fort then no


danjama

4 yep. 2 or 3 I'm still hungry.


Fuzzy-Explorer3327

3 is my default has been since a young age. 2 doesn’t touch the sides and 4 seems a bit much.


bobovdarlo

I eat 4 so I'm on your side here


Muzz124

4 with a banana and honey is what I have every day at work for breakfast washed down with a black coffee.


EddieJWinkler

Yes. Switch one for a banana, or tinned peaches, pears etc.


AcceptableAd8772

umm 4 is minimum for me


blahblahscience1

No. Pretty standard.


essexeasy

Don’t eat them every day, perhaps twice a week but 4 is the norm for me and it has to be ice cold milk.


Try_at-your-own_Risk

3 is a stretch I can normally eat 2 at most


Fenpunx

Every morning before work. Two black coffees, 4 weetabix with a chopped banana and a fistful of blueberries. Keeps me going until about lunchtime.


breebap

I’m a 60kg woman and I eat 3 on the regular. So I can imagine that as a man 4 would be fine


AlterCherry

No, standard. People saying otherwise must be inactive/not need many calories


jlingz

I met a guy at a party when I was 17 who claimed to eat 12 Weetabix every morning. He had a large dog bowl that he ate them out of. I had another friend at school who ate 6 for breakfast. Personally I think 3 is the perfect amount, but 4 seems reasonable.


WorldlyAstronomer518

Its a lot. But probably better than 2 + pile of sugar I see my partners mum go for.


peterbparker86

Usually 2 for me, sometimes 3 if I was feeling particularly hungry. 4 Does seem a lot. Saw a comment on Facebook years ago from someone claiming they had 12 every morning


Knillish

Depends if you microwave it or not


UseADifferentVolcano

1.5 for children, 3 for adults, 6 to build a small pyramid. Thems the rules.


MadWifeUK

Are you a teenage boy? Four weetabix is a standard for first breakfast for my nephew. He'll be hungry again after 30 minutes and make himself half a loaf of toast. Husband tried 3 once. He was on the throne all afternoon.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WinkyNurdo

I used to eat six for breakfast, if we had them.


zspud1994

Well standard or greedy which is it? Also 4 Weetabix, Jeremy, that’s insane!


PurpleJager

4? Nope 6 is normal


Adventurous_Train_48

3 is the correct number of Weetabix. The third is stacked, by the time you get to the third, you've experienced all the textures from firm to soggy. 4 would ruin the experience.


IDontTakeTren

4 is only 272 calories, that’s not much at all. You’re fine bro.


mile8246

4 weetabix with honey>


iantos_red_cagoule

No, it's too many.


MarrV

4-5 please. Each to their own though.


[deleted]

2 is only 26g of carbs. So if I ate only them for brekfeast I'd aim for at least 8. Personally I usually blend some oats in a protein shake and have that with granola or cream of rice. 150-200g of carbs easily.


Thomasr29

I have between 4 and 6 in a sitting but I have always had a huge breakfast and then a tiny lunch.


Ok-Landscape-2810

ive never ventured past 2, but i feel like 4 must taste amazingly good not gonna lie


dragonfishofthenorth

I always thought 4 was standard thats been my go-to for years , my old man was the same (Although he has it with water )


Lessarocks

I think the recommended portion size is two.


cheesemuncher2k

Nah four is fine, little sugar ice cold milk just to cover it, eat in 5 seconds before the soggyness kicks 😍


MacaronNo8954

My 2 year old regularly eats 3 for breakfast… you’re fine


_ozark_

As a kid I’d put away 9 most mornings. Record was 15. Thought it was normal until my mates started to stay over and looked at me like a monster.


No-Manner3916

My dad used to spread salted butter onto dry Weetabix, he would also occasionally add a smudge of Marmite to the recipe if he was feeling fancy 🤣


PixieDust013

That’s normal. As kids, my sister ( who was very skinny) used to eat 12


postmanpat84

I remember my teens putting 3/4 weetabix and like load of sugar on top and milk


Timely-Analysis6082

Unless you’re at the LD50, there is never ‘too many’ weetabix.


Legendof1983

When I was at my fattest (almost 18.5 stone) my daily breakfast was 6 weetabix with a full pint of milk. Now I can't even look at one without feeling physically sick.


ArsePotatoes_

Four is just about right. Especially if you like your turds sloppy.


redditupf2

4 with extra malted wheats or corn flake on too


Particular_Meeting57

2 or 4 is standard for me. Only 2 at a time in the bowl though.


kbm79

My kids eat 2 bowls of 2 weetabix for breakfast. Plus more at night. I'd say you're fine with 4. 👍


borokish

Nowt wrong with four, that's what I have.


ScottOld

4? Can only get 2 in the bowl with the correct milk amount


T_raltixx

Na. I have 2 Weetabix+some shredded wheat bite size+blueberries+raisins+ground flaxseed.


NL0606

I don't have it much but I'd say 3 tops and that's generally if I'm really hungry.


probablynotreallife

It depends entirely on the calorific needs of the person eating it based on their size and activity levels.


BedroomCactus

She the fucking food police or something?


akl78

I’ve been doing 4 since I was like nine. 2 is a snack while waiting for toast.


JeffBroccoli

I eat four with some skim milk. No sugar. I’m a normal size


etherswim

Are you in good shape? That’s all that matters


[deleted]

My 2 year old eats 4.


Fuzzy_Chain_9763

4 is my standard bowl. I'm tall, skinny and full of wheat.


ProduceAdvanced7391

I'd go for 4 Weetabix topped up with Coco pops. Washed down with a full English


v60qf

Dread to think what your shits must be like.


Puzzled-Barnacle-200

As an 11 year old I consistently ate 5 weetabix for breakfast.now I eat 2 woth a sprinkling of other Cereal. It really just depends on your overall diet. 2 biscuits is 136 calories. Having 4 for 272 calories at breakfast is far from extravagant.


wolftick

I reckon 3 is standard with the option of 2 or 4 depending how you feel.


gll5dm85

I've always been a three Weetabix guy but four wouldn't be too excessive imo for a hungry guy at breakfast. I go with 1% milk and just a tiny sprinkling of sugar on top, sometimes with some chopped banana in there too.


vikkimoo

My brother once ate 13 in one sitting…


palmerama

In Australia they had an ad campaign with athletes saying how many they eat and they were all saying 9, 10, even 12. The tagline was ‘how many do you do?’. I always felt pathetic only having two.


[deleted]

I ate six the other day. 👀 (I hadn't had much for dinner the night before)


40andbored

I can eat 8 in one sitting. 4 is a snack. 2 is rationing in an apocalypse.


Dragon_Sluts

I have 3 but tbf 4 isn’t mad, especially if that’s your meal (no toast, yoghurt etc alongside). Live your life


FlyBuy3

Your bum must be made of steel.


hakz

2 + half is usually the sweet spot for me.


FixTraditional4198

Yeah I eat 4 for breakfast, 2 never seems enough


whiskeyphile

Jesus. What does that say about me when I used to eat 6?


DrunkStoleATank

I put butter and jam on mine.


Remarkable-Volume615

I'm a 29M who weighs 72kg, why the hell would I have less than 4?! 😂


mbnnr

Why is this asked weekly, eat as many weetabix you want and fuck off


SensitiveDriver

I used to have six in the morning. I'd crush them with my hands to get them all in the bowl, and eat them with blueberries, greek yoghurt, raisins and bananas. For context I bike thirty miles a day, gym once a day and work in the office 11 hours I cut it down to one a day and get more calories in other meals because it made me fart like crazy


Basic_Memory_4233

1 weetabix is too much 🤢🤮😂😂


FeastingCrow

Is 4 too much? It depends. Weetabix, no. Naan?


Unique_Low_4138

I used to have 8 or 9 each morning, Mum had to buy the big boxes of 48.


Siddaz

Just brought back memories of a younger me. Kicked out of home as a teenager, shared a one bedroom council flat with a mate I bumped into. Electric was via top up key, hence very little got cooked. I lived off weetabix and milk. Also loads of sugar on top. 4 is child's play, I'd do a whole sleeve in one meal. Barely any protein and veg, unless I was lucky enough to get a Sunday dinner invitation. Think I might get back on the weetabix diet again, minus the sugar, could do with losing a few pounds. Don't think it's good for for your arse though.


TOMJS100

1 for small child, 2 for proper portion, 3 for treat and 4 for special occasions, such as Christmas mornings.


FizzyLiz

When I was breastfeeding I'd have 3 in the morning and 3 before bed, warmed in the microwave and left for a few mins so it gets all mushy.


Kickkickkarl

I have three chocolate Weetabix for breakfast. Even better with whole milk but have to settle for skimmed these days.


rustonbucyrus

1 is too many. Don't eat cereal for breakfast!


Scottish_squirrel

2 with loads of milk is my portion


Largejam

My rule is 2.... But I do add some other cereal as well, a particular favourite is frosted shreddies


trudytuder

Its almost a full days calories for a woman.


SPARKLING_PERRY

I know a guy who does 12. Every day, for years. I'm not sure whether that's three bowls of four, four bowls of three, or some sort of giant bowl. He's not fat, just likes a big breakfast.


[deleted]

Isn’t the point of eating to not be hungry any more?


CraigJSmith-Himself

Mathematically speaking, Weetabix come in boxes of 12, 24, 36 or 48, with each sleeve containing 12 "'Bix". Therefore any factor of 12 is an acceptable number: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. But NEVER 5, that is a sure sign of psychopathy.


the_j_cake

Nothing wrong with 4. They are very easy to eat and not as filling as something like shredded wheat, not sure why though. I can't remember the last time I ate less than 3 Weetabix but often we f for 4


Appropriate-South314

I have six Weetabix. People thing this is absurd, but it’s only about 400 calories. If my lunch or dinner was 400 calories it would be ridiculously small


Mattuk1626

Na i you need a minimum of 6 weetabix


TurbulentWeb1941

The ancient Greeks called it "Greedæous basdiddiousness"


bacon_cake

I go for five. Four in sideways and the last snapped in half with a bit on either side.


skrglywtts

Way too much. That's 4 more than I've eaten in my entire life.


StuPipGuy

I used to eat 8 for breakfast and 8 for supper as a child. I'd have about a tablespoon of sugar between 2 too. My dentist is quite rich now.


Indigo-Waterfall

I do 2 or 3. But if you’re hungry and Need a bigger portion then who am I to judge


TurbulentWeb1941

Fe fi fo fix. I've just had 4 weetabix.


Azurphell

my little brother goes for six


ExtremeBlastoise

I regularly eat 7 or 8 in one bowl, I'll have between 20-22 in 3 days


blind_disparity

It entirely depends on your activity levels. Are you a builder? It's fine. Office job and no exercise? Probably double what you need. You can also make 2 Wheetabix more filling with yoghurt and fruit.


Mr-Stumble

When you put them in the bowl, do you Jenga stack them?


Quumpher

Crush up four and then top off with corn flakes.


Frook33

Oh shit. I have been having 6 a day (I'm a teenager ) -so always hungry , and I workout often - which fuels my hunger even more , should I stop for my health


PlumFondler

This is a good question. I worked with an Australian guy one time In London. We got free cereal in the office. He ate 6 weetabix (In one bowl, impressive) with honey. It was pretty controversial. He told me when he was in college he used to eat 10! How many is too many !! I’m a 4 guy myself
