If I swap a sandwich for weetabix minis for lunch, would that be healthier

[LovelyYellowLabrador]

? What do you think ?

It would not, no

Bowl of oats instead?

No of course not. But you need to look at your whole day’s food to see if you're eating in a balanced way, not just one meal.

No

Depends what was on your sandwich!

No, there probably won't be much difference in calories depending on sandwich filling
Cereal won't fill you up and you'll be hungry in a few hours

No

Well I usually eat white bread most of the time
Sometimes marmite
Sometimes ham or cheese

I thought maybe weetabix would be bette rad it’s whole grain

Better as it’s whole grain

What are you trying to achieve?

What do you think 'healthy' is?

The best wholegrain bread is Warburton's no added sugar www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254944260

Why not just use brown bread?

Depends on a lot of things. How much Cereal, what you would put on it if anything, what would be in your sandwhich.
It would probably have less fat, maybe not calories though.

Also, people eat too much cereal. They tend to fill the bowl and have a way bigger portion than they should.

What is the rest of your food intake like in a normal day?

But brown bread isn’t whole grain tho is it ?

“What do you think 'healthy' is?”
Less carbs but not totally cutting it out
Natural fat like butter rather than marg

Meat fish and veg

Not much pasta or food from grains

I measure 40g of it

And measure 100ml
Semi skimmed milk

Why not just have a whole grain bread sandwich?!

Why is the choice between a ham sandwich or a bowl of cereal?

Your sandwich doesn't sound very filling so you would probably be getting hungry earlier than you should.

Well
I’m not sure what bread is whole grain apart form maybe rye ?

Why is the choice between a ham sandwich or a bowl of cereal?

That doesn’t have to be the only choice of course
I’m just wondering if this is a more healthy swap

You need a better sandwich.

Wholemeal bread.
Cucumber, walnut and brie
Sliced mixed peppers and hummus.

You won't be full very long off 40g is cereal, the sandwich is probably more balanced, switch to whole meal bread and add some salad to the ham and maybe have some fruit with it.
