Many people pour a larger bowl and therefore consume more calories and more carbohydrate. This is important if you're counting calories to control weight, or if you carb count to adjust the correct dose of insulin. Weet-Bix is the most natural and least altered with additives. From reading the ingredients list it seems then it is Pronutro and Oatso Easy. These 3 are the best overall and for optimum nutritional intakes opt for Pronutro; as Pronutro is the most nutrient fortified out of these 4 mentioned cereals.

Then follows Pronutro, which is still relatively low in sodium. Highest in sodium is Oates. Sometimes the more processed a food, the higher it may be in sodium.The fat content of this bar is very high at 16g per serving and we are confident it isn’t the good kind of fat that the Banting folk harp on about.

Highest in fiber (which brings down cholesterol) is Weet-Bix, closely followed by Pronutro. After that it is Oatso Easy and lowest in fiber is Oates. For anyone with high cholesterol levels, piles, the need to lose weight and poor colon function, higher fiber intake is generally desired. However there are studies that show the fiber in oats is also especially effective in reducing cholesterol and this indicates that the Weet-Bix and Oatso Easy may be prime choices for cases of high cholesterol.
