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!

I have 3 purely because I know as soon as I sit down the children swarm me as I end up probably getting about 1 1/2

My 14 month old has two weetabix for breakfast so I see no problem with a grown man having 4

If so many are required why not just eat something that will fill you up rather than half a box of weetabix? some poached eggs have to be cheaper surely? If you really need more than 3 I think you need to switch your breakfasts

I would class 2 as a normal pollution. Kids only ever got 1

I used to have one but I now have one and a half, baby has the other half and my husband has 2.

Pourable cereals like Cheerios and rice krispies however are a very different story

normal portion

all though pollution is probably the end result

We're talking about Weetabix! - not chocolate!! I'm a slim size 10. I usually have 4 Weetabix for breakfast, two at a time. Two would not be enough to take me to lunchtime. And I have them with sugar because it makes it taste even nicer, and often fruit too. 2 is hardly anything for a busy grown adult!

I think for a woman two is sufficient and 3 for a man is acceptable, four is a bit excessive, but then I fucking hate Weetabix and don't understand why anyone would even want one, never mind four.

Giles I find it hard to stomach most foods in the morning, Weetabix is about the only thing I can manage enough of to fill me up. Normal in my family but I have encountered from other people when they see me with four.

2 is a standard portion. If that's not enough to keep you going because the carbs are quickly processed, some extra protein would be better for filling up.

My friend used to have 6. He's not slim. Takes forever in the loo too.

I have one. 4 seems excessive but I'm little is he a big bloke?

I thought 2 was normal just because 2 is the most that fits nicely in a bowl. I couldn't be bothered to refill my cereal bowl!

We have 2, perhaps with a banana. The boys 8&10 then have toast... Up to 3 slices. They are very skinny and fit.

2 is more than enough, hence it being the recommended serving, any more is just greedy.

I have two or three depending on how hungry I am, it's not your place to say that he can't have 4.

I have one then a piece of fruit about two hours later.

Four sounds a lot, if he needs that much I would be supplementing breakfast with something else like a banana, or have porridge/ egg instead

Yabu, I don't really like cereal but would eat 4, 14 or 44 if I so desired n wouldn't take kindly if anyone tried to dictate portion size to me!

2 is the normal portion, but 3 or 4 isn't being greedy. People have different energy requirements and eating patterns.
Some people eat a full english breakfast every morning, other people just have a cup of tea or coffee. There seems to be more variation in breakfasts than any other meal.

I don't dictate to him what he can eat, his body his choice and he wouldn't listen to me anyway

It just seems a lot to me so I was curious

Surely it's up to each individual to decide ?

Mine is 0 when it comes to Weetabix because I find it minging.

0 for me.

Weetabix is the devils cereal. I can't stand how mushy (like baby food) it goes within seconds of being doused in milk.

My DS however finds that very thing appealing and he has 2 (aged 11).

I couldn't eat one but 7yo DS puts away 4 every morning followed by a bagel. He's skinny as a rake and doesn't snack, I think it starts him for the day.

I eat three usually. 2 with semi skimmed milk is only about 200 calories so not enough for a breakfast to keep you going for 4 hours +

I'd say 2 is a standard portion, but then I'm not 6ft+ and very physically active, for example - context is everything. Is he overweight?

He isn't physically active no, he sits behind a desk or is in meetings most of the day.

Like I say it's his choice it just seems a lot to me!
