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 would have one. Even two would probably feel like a lot for me.

I agree 2 is a portion. My DS has 3 though and my 84 year old mum told me she ate 5 for breakfast this morning. I'm very pleased about that. She hasn't had much of appetite lately.

I wouldn't bother getting out of bed for less than 3. 4 would be preferable.

In maternity ward we were supplied with one as a portion, I was shocked and dismayed, just had a baby ffs. I was there 6 days

Next time I opted for toast and got one slice - tight bastards.

Speaking with authority having made shredded wheat for a living somebody has to two is the recommended serving size for those.

In terms of pure energy requirements, a single Weetabix biscuit is around 60 calories. That would make 2 biscuits with a fair amount of milk less than 200 calories. That's nowhere near enough for a grown man. Sorry, I'm not sure why you'd ration him, unless he had a large amount of weight to lose (and was a small child / incapable of deciding for himself).

I would usually have two.

DS (20) eats about five. He has milk on the side & dips them because he doesn't like them going soggy. DH doesn't eat them often, but if he does he has four.

2 weetabix would never fill me! It's down to the individual I think

ds(7) has 2 with lots of milk and a fruit puree pot

sometimes 3 he is a skinny little thing I wonder where it goes

seems to fill him up for a few hours

we need a tongue in cheek smiley I am sure the op is not taking the issue too seriously as some on here are

and he sometimes eats them dry

takes him ages and keeps him quiet

Might be more than you have but why would it be unreasonable? Bit of a weird thing to even post

Erm it was meant to be lighthearted!

I think 4 is a lot to eat for me and just wondered what others have, I don't ration them!

I eat four. I am very slim, by most people's standards, and am ravenous at breakfast. DS, aged one, can just about manage to finish one weetabix.

I suppose two is an official standard serving, like how on cereal boxes they say 30g is a serving, but I consider anything up to 5 a normal bowl.

I have 6... or 8.... or 4 and half a pack of baby cereal... or 2 and at least 2 cups of muesli... then again I am type 1 diabetic.

My skinny petite ds2 is 4 1/2 years old and happily eats 4 Weetabix when we have them.

But only if they"43 the right way up (since when do Weetabix have a "right way up"?)

But only if they're the right way up. Bloody ipad.

MidnightDinosaur There was a thread around the time I first joined MN about whether Weetabix have a right way up. It got put into Classics here

It's just occurred to me that you lot are all eating your weetabix cold! Seriously??! How can you stomach that??

The only way I've ever had - or known anyone else to have - weetabix is with hot milk. 2 weetabix in a bowl, half covered with milk, into microwave for 1.5mins, sugar: food of the gods. Especially in winter.

For DP, a portion of Weetabix is 3, with warm milk and sugar. For me, it's one, with hot water. I turn it into a lovely wheaty, watery mush. I don't know which is the right side to face up, though

I have four as well. Two isn't enough!

The thought of warm weetabix makes me want to vom Brock.

My almost 16 year old 6ft beanpole eldest DS eats 4 at a time. My 7 year old eats 2!

I eat 4 Weetabix too. I like mine with warm milk and a sliced banana dusted off with a teaspoon of sugar.

What constitutes 'too much' food is totally dependant on what a person burns in a day. I am a farmer and do a lot of physical work so I eat about 3500 calories a day because I use it. If I got an office job I'd have to cut down.
Most people though, do eat 'too much' (as rising rates of obesity and heart disease prove).

My DS aged 3 has 2 Weetabix. As he is probably about 1/4 of the size of your DH, I think your DH actually should be having 8.

Minimum 6 for my DS, and once it was 12 as he was hungry

3-4, with hot milk and plenty of sugar. Food of the gods. Lived on it while pregnant.

My skinny 3yo easily polishes off 2 and would probably need something else as well.

They're not exactly filling.
