To think 2 weetabix is a normal portion?

[LittleMissIntrovert]

OH eats 4 at a time

He isn't known for small portions, and then complains when I don't finish meals! Don't get me wrong I like my food, but it's just ridiculous.

Please tell me I'm not unreasonable!

Always have three myself - middle ground..

I think a normal portion is whatever a person eating it decides it is. So what if he likes 4 weetabix?

I always have two but then I'm petite....if I were a taller, wider build I might need more. Is he a big chap?

I have 2 and I'm generally a small eater. Ds has 4 and he's a very small 11yo

My 8 year old has three, and is starving an hour later.

They are slightly crappy, as food goes.

Unless he's grossly obese you are unreasonable and it's not your place to tell another adult what to eat.

My dss would eat 4 by the time they were teenagers.

I would only ever have 2. A woman I work with has one but she's like a rake.

I would agree that 2 was a 'portion'.

I definitely think 2 would be the norm

But don't think 1, 3 or 4 would be abnormal.

my 6 and 3 yr olds have 2 each for breakfast and still starving an hour later....

'Ds has between 5 and 7 for breakfast. He's 16.

Two is a portion these days I reckon.

However when I was little (1960s) 1 was considered the norm for children.

They're basically just air that tastes like cardboard aren't they?

YABU to think that any amount is a 'portion' by anyone's standards but those of the person eating them. But two is the 'serving suggestion' portion on the packet normally!

Two is a standard portion.

They were bigger in the olden days cis the corners were square!

My 2 yr-old DGC has two for breakfast every day... As a pp said, normal is what you decide

2 for an adult would be the norm here.

My 9 year old would have one.

DH and I are fat. 9 year old is never hungry.

Surely this is his decision to make without your input?

The nutrition bit on the side works out the calories etc based on a 2 biscuit portion.

Is he overweight?

I think its up to him to decide his portion size.

Dd has been known to have 6 for breakfast, and she is skinny as a rake.

I only have 2.

oh my

2 weetabix wipes out the difference in calorie requirements unless he does lots of exercise

if he gets a bit tubby, switch him to dry food for a bit, and shut him out for an hour or two on a regular basis

I have four, I think's it's a large portion but not unreasonably so, just enough to see me through until lunch. Two would leave me chewing my arm off by 9:00.

Wow. I had no idea anyone had more than 2! Would 4 fit in a bowl or do you have a 2 weetabix serving twice?

(I'd personally have 2 weetabix and maybe have toast/egg etc if I was hungry, so no logic to thinking 4 sounds a lot!)

I have two and then fill up the bowl with another cereal of my choice!
